McCormack plays serial killer "The Boogeyman"

THE HUNTING PARTY has already racked up the ratings, scoring over 30 million viewers during its first season. Another way to measure how well this NBC procedural has caught on? By the guest stars lining up to appear in the second season! Eric McCormack (Will & Grace), Kelsey Grammer (Frasier), Jefferson White (Jimmy on Yellowstone) and Elizabeth Gillies (The CW's Dynasty) have all signed on for killer roles. Literally.

Melissa Roxburgh, who plays ex-FBI profiler Rebecca “Bex” Henderson, has assembled her own team to catch serial killers. The murderers have all escaped from the Pit, a secret prison located inside empty missile silos in Wyoming. And the prisoners weren't just locked away. They have also been experimented on— even being subjects for an empathy drug. Now they're on the run, and we don’t know if their killer instincts have been modified for better or for worse.
