'The Hunting Party' Returns: Kelsey Grammer is Chilling in Season 2 Episode 5
The hunt is back on.
The Hunting Party returns tonight on February 26 with Episode 205 “Noah Cyrus,” and if you thought the criminals of The Pit couldn’t get more unsettling, think again.
This episode guest stars Kelsey Grammer as the titular character in a dark and eerie episode about Noah’s reign as a cult leader. And yes—it’s exactly as twisted as it sounds
Kelsey Grammer Like You’ve Never Seen Him Before
Kelsey’s performance is dark yet fun to watch as his character Noah embodies the energy of characters like Jack Torrence (The Shining) and Dr. Hannibal Lector (The Silence of the Lambs). There’s a chilling stillness to him. A calculated calm that makes you lean in closer even when everything within you screams not to.
Known mostly for his comedic roles and charming wit, Grammer as Noah Cyrus is cold, calculating, manipulating, and psychotic…and he’s scary good. And as the episode progresses and we dive deeper into Noah’s life, we learn that there’s a much darker side of him that no one is prepared to confront. The layers unfold slowly, revealing a man whose power extends far beyond magnetic charisma.
Bex and her team must move swiftly to stop the man whose gift of manipulation makes him one of the most powerful criminals of The Pit; his teachings so hypnotic that he amasses followers to do his bidding, making the path between Noah and the hunt that much more dangerous.
This isn’t a simple chase.
It’s psychological warfare.
Tonight, expect a cliffhanger that will leave you gasping for air, taking The Hunting Party down even more deceptive roads. And just when you think you see the direction the story is heading, the series pivots—and it pivots hard.
If you need a quick refresher on where Season 1 left us and what to expect from Season 2, you can catch up here before tonight’s episode.
The hunt continues tonight and every Thursday at 10pm ET/PT only on NBC. Episodes are available to stream next day on Peacock. Check out the promo for “Noah Cyrus” below.
