Production
The show was filmed without the assistance of government or law enforcement. Each episode ends with a disclaimer stating that 'while the investigative techniques shown are real, some procedures have been replicated for broadcast.'
Some information the hunters obtained -- such as the Enterprise rental agreement and the car's location -- came from the production itself, provided to the hunters when they requested it. Also, participants granted access in advance to their personal records, homes and phones, and then that information was meted out to the hunters the same way it would have been during an actual investigation.
There was a clear firewall between the hunter team and fugitive team. The production team did considerable research to ensure that the requests and receipt of information simulated what would happen in the real world, such as waiting for a subpoena. Additionally, the hunters had to make proper requests, and were sometimes denied information by the production team.
Hunted was picked up by Channel 4 in the UK, but renamed Hunted USA to avoid confusion with the UK version.
