Hunted Australia is back for 2024 and the ultimate game of cat and mouse has a few new tricks up its sleeve.
The reality series tracks nine pairs of ordinary Australians, called Fugitives, as they evade a team of expert Hunters determined to catch them.
While the winners of the first two seasons of Hunted Australia shared a $100,000 cash prize, the stakes are higher in 2024 with a massive grand prize of $1 million.

When does Hunted start?
The new season of Hunted will air after the Olympics on Monday, August 12 at 7.30pm on Channel 10 And 10 Play.
Who is the new Hunted Chief?
On top of the huge jump in potential prize money, there will also be a new Chief at the helm. After two years in charge, Dr. David Craig is stepping down and Reece Dewar, OAM ( Order of Australia medal), is stepping up to lead the Hunters.
The former Hunted deputy has over 20 years of experience in the Australian Defence Force and was awarded the OAM for services to the special operations community.
