The Hunting premieres Thursday 1 August at 8.30pm
Intense, compelling and timely The Hunting is about how teenagers traverse the complexities of relationships, identity and sexuality via technology. The four-part drama series from Adelaide’s Closer Productions will premiere on SBS at 8.30pm Thursday 1 August.
Starring Asher Keddie ( Offspring, The Cry ) and Richard Roxburgh ( Rake, Hacksaw Ridge ), The Hunting intimately and dramatically imagines the lives of four teenagers, their teachers and families throughout the lead up, revelation and aftermath of a nude teen photo scandal. Tackling themes of misogyny, privacy, sexuality and sexualisation, online exploitation, masculinity and gender, the series uses this singular event as a way of exploring some of the most pressing issues of our time and offering a vital portrait of modern, multicultural Australia.
