Hunted - Season 17

1. The Dinner

Aired: 5/18/2026

The flight starts from the woods in Doorn, in the middle of the Netherlands. Each fugitive receives a QR code for which they must create a password to open it later. The extraction point will not be revealed for seven days, leaving it unclear who the hunters are targeting. At headquarters, they are aware that something is about to happen, but the exact moment is unknown. The fugitives are designated as Triple A targets. Information is requested from various agencies, including BRP data and data on the ‘inner cycle’, in order to obtain a complete overview of individuals and their connections. In the Doorn area, hunters inquire whether anyone has seen ten people. Each fugitive is assigned a unique location in North Holland. The nephews are considered easy targets, as their ‘inner cycle’ is already under taps and surveillance. Meanwhile, hunters are on their way to a relative of the nephews.

2. Rush hour at HQ

Aired: 5/19/2026

Things are incredibly tense with the cousins, but will they manage to escape now that hunters are patrolling everywhere? Three hunter teams are now actively searching. It is day 2 and the fugitives still need to withdraw cash, which is naturally noticed at HQ. The hunters remain focused on the cousins ​​and investigate everything related to their family. Others are in Culemborg scanning a QR code with a phone, but aren't quite sure what to do with the result. All the fugitives are still receiving hints via family or friends, so they have to figure those out as well. If someone receives something, their social media profile is updated. However, this does not go unnoticed at HQ, where the tactical detectives are hard at work. Cameras are installed at ATMs everywhere, and the fugitives know this all too well, so they do everything they can to withdraw cash unidentifiably.

3. The van will be here soon.

Aired: 5/21/2026

One of the cousins ​​was caught but managed to escape with a bit of luck. What now, without a backpack and with only what he has left? Some people don't realize at all that you stand out if you spend a long time browsing social media profiles on a mobile. HQ did notice this and sent a few hunters in that direction, but can those two still get away in time? Because they were too busy with their phones, they didn't realize there were hunters nearby and so… Everyone knows they need to be in North Holland on day 3. The fugitives are receiving information from their inner circle, but info has already been intercepted for some. They are also being given part of the extraction point for their bus route. Some are already looking for bus route names. One couple remains completely under the radar by doing everything analog, really old school. The bus route has five stops, so they need help from people who are open to that.
