Apple TV Faces Turmoil as The Hunt Premiere Is Pulled Over Plagiarism Claims

November 27, 2025

Apple TV has put the brakes on its upcoming thriller The Hunt after plagiarism accusations forced the platform to pull the premiere from its schedule. The series was set for release in early December and had already generated strong interest thanks to its intense premise and star powered cast. However the excitement quickly shifted to controversy when observers pointed out striking similarities between the show’s storyline and an older novel that features a nearly identical setup involving a group of hunters whose trip spirals into violence after a confrontation with another group.

Following the growing criticism the production company behind the series announced that the release would be paused while a detailed review takes place. Apple TV removed promotional materials and halted all marketing activity reflecting the seriousness of the issue and the need to verify that the work stands on original creative ground. This unexpected move leaves the future of the show uncertain and raises questions about how streaming platforms validate originality before approving large scale projects.
