Can Bex Catch a Notorious Killer in The Hunting Party Finale?

LOS ANGELES, April 7, 2025 — The thrilling season finale of NBC‘s ‘The Hunting Party‘ airs tonight at 10 p.m. EDT, as the team led by criminal profiler Rebecca ‘Bex’ Henderson faces off against a deadly adversary, Jenna Wells, known as ‘Inmate Zero.’ This gripping episode promises to be one of the most intense yet, as Bex and her colleagues race against time to prevent further killings.

In the final episode of the show’s inaugural season, Bex, played by Melissa Roxburgh, must gather her crime-fighting allies to track down the brilliant, yet deranged chemist who has left a trail of bodies. ‘We’re closing in on Jenna Wells, and we know that she’s not to be underestimated,’ Roxburgh stated in a recent interview. ‘She operates at a level that challenges us in every way.’

The hunt is especially perilous as Wells, formerly a therapist at the underground prison known as ‘The Pit,’ has been able to evade capture while exploiting her victims’ identities. ‘In the prison, she was at the center of all of it,’ Bex reveals in a preview of the finale. ‘What we don’t know is why.’ The episode titled ‘Jenna Wells’ showcases Wells’s chilling capability to poison her victims and assume their identities, positioning her as one of the most sinister targets to date.

In a sneak peek, the tension escalates as the team navigates a chaotic scene replete with suspicious party guests and apparent murder attempts. Bex’s inner circle includes CIA Agent Jacob Hassani, former prison guard Shane Florence, and HQ Intel Officer Jennifer Morales, who aim to apprehend Wells before more lives are lost.

Wells has become known not only for her malignant actions but also for the psychological manipulation she inflicts on her victims, heightening the stakes for Bex and her team. ‘What makes this challenge so unique,’ Roxburgh elaborated, ‘is the psychological warfare Jenna engages in, luring her victims closer with every malevolent act.’

As the episode progresses, Bex encounters a significant individual, Colonel Eve Lazarus, played by Kari Matchett, intensifying the complexities of the case as themes of betrayal and survival emerge. The season finale’s plot twists promise to leave viewers eager for answers, with Roxburgh hinting at an emotional confession that could affect the team’s future operations.

The show’s executives have not yet confirmed a renewal for a second season, leaving fans uncertain about the fate of their favorite characters and unresolved plot lines. Roxburgh expressed her desire for a continuation, noting, ‘I want to see where the team goes from here and what new challenges await us in potential future episodes.’

The excitement builds for tonight’s episode, as it marks the end of a season that has captivated audiences with its blend of suspense and character-driven storytelling. Viewers can catch the finale on NBC tonight or stream it the following day on Peacock.
