The Hunting Party is a crime procedural series that follows a team of investigators tasked with hunting down the most dangerous of serial killers who have escaped the secret government prison known as The Pit.
Episode eight of the series focuses on Denise Glenn (Janet Kidder), who was a St. Louis University professor before she turned to killing, obsessed with the idea of the Nine Muses. She would track the best and most qualified people from diverse fields that represented each of the muses as her victims.
The team is called in when a victim of a cellist is found murdered in a similar fashion to her previous victims, however, Denise couldn’t have been responsible, as she is not one of the killers who escaped. Additionally, the murder involves certain procedures that reference her victims that was not public knowledge. The team must work to uncover the copycat killer’s identity before they can kill anyone else.
Recently, Keto Shimizu, who is an executive producer on the series and co-wrote the episode, spoke with SciFi Vision about the gruesome murder victims, how they were created, casting Kidder, where the conspiracy of The Pit is headed, and more.
