The Hunting Party New Tonight, February 19, 2026?
The NBC crime drama’s strong Season 2 continues with guest stars including Kelsey Grammer and Josh Dallas. Season 2 of The Hunting Party is going strong: Its first five episodes have featured guest stars such as Eric McCormack, Niecy Nash-Betts, and Elizabeth Gillies in juicy roles. Team members Bex Henderson (Melissa Roxburgh), Jacob Hassani (Patrick Sabongui), Shane Florence (Josh McKenzie), and Jennifer Morales (Sara Garcia) are following twisty new leads as they continue to track escapees from secret prison The Pit.
This season, which kicked off in January, has already introduced us to several creatively-murderous felons. From a bunny-loving date you’d never want to meet to a neck-snapping masseuse, you might think Agent Henderson and her colleagues have seen it all. But you haven’t seen anything yet, and you won’t want to miss new episodes on Thursday nights.
But is a new episode on tonight? Get all the details on The Hunting Party‘s schedule below.

Upcoming guest stars include a Yellowstone actor and Manifest alum Josh Dallas
The Hunting Party’s Episode 5 introduces us to Noah Cyrus (no relation to Miley Cyrus’ sister). Cyrus is a serial killer and former cult leader who pops up at the home of one of his followers, and he’s played by veteran TV actor Kelsey Grammer.

Actor Jefferson White plays an influencer-targeting killer named Lou Kaplan in Episode 6.
You might recognize White from his longtime role as Jimmy Hurdstrom on Yellowstone, and guest stints on shows like Chicago P.D., You, and Countdown and movies like the upcoming The Hunger Games: Sunrise on the Reaping.
And in news that’s exciting to fans of the supernatural mystery series Manifest — on which The Hunting Party‘s Roxburgh gained a loyal fandom — Josh Dallas will appear in Episode 8. Dallas and Roxburgh played Ben and Michaela Stone on the series, two siblings whose lives very much veered off course when they boarded a plane that rematerialized after disappearing five years prior.
