The Hunting Party slammed the door on season 2 in brutal fashion: a main character is shot as Bex (Melissa Roxburgh), Hassani (Patrick Sabongui) and Shane (Josh McKenzie) close in on Lazarus (Kari Matchett) — only for a last-second twist to flip everything.
Season 2 of The Hunting Party signed off with a bang, a bullet, and a job offer. If you wanted tidy answers, this finale did not care. If you wanted chaos with a twist, welcome.
Finale, fast and messy
- On Thursday, May 7, Bex (Melissa Roxburgh), Hassani (Patrick Sabongui), and Shane (Josh McKenzie) finally moved on Lazarus (Kari Matchett) after realizing she was the one who blew up The Pit to serve her own agenda.
- During the standoff, Bex took a bullet and Lazarus immediately tried to work Shane, pushing him to let her go.
- The shocker: the hit was not fatal. Bex shook it off enough to jump back in and help take Lazarus down.
- After the dust settled, the team had a very reasonable question: are they even still on assignment? Answer: sort of. Bex was offered the top job running the entire operation.
- And the mission just got darker. As the would-be boss charged with rounding up the escapees still out there, Bex was told The Pit was not just a place that warehoused criminals - it helped make them.
Quick refresher on what this show is
Premiering in 2025, The Hunting Party is a crime procedural about a handpicked unit tasked with tracking down the country’s worst killers. The hook: they all broke out of a top-secret prison that is not supposed to exist. Bex, an ex-FBI profiler with a rep for catching the world’s scariest serial killers, gets recruited to help clean up the mess.
The Bex and Shane situation
Season 2 opened by killing off Oliver (Nick Wechsler), who had history with Bex. Since then, viewers have zeroed in on whatever is brewing between Bex and Shane. Back in February 2025, Roxburgh, 33, teased the triangle vibes and made it pretty clear she gets the appeal of the two paths for Bex: the stable guy vs. the guy with red flags and reasons.
"Slow burns are great."
That checks out with how the show has played it. And then there is the fun meta wrinkle: Josh Dallas, Roxburgh’s Manifest costar, popped in for a guest spot this season and immediately stamped his approval on the pairing in April.
"I am a huge shipper of this."
Dallas also pushed for the show to keep the long game going, and Roxburgh agreed. The case-of-the-week may hook you, but the will-they-wont-they is the thing that sticks in your head between episodes.
