“Hunger Games” Like Reality Series Green Lit By CW

The CW has picked up two new reality series, one of which is similar to the Hunger Games.

The hour-long reality contest The Hunt  is an intense wilderness competition taking place over one month, as 12 teams of two are provided no food, water, or shelter, but must compete in a game where they’ll rely on their physicality, survival skills, and hunting skills to endure their conditions, capture one another, and ultimately win a huge cash prize.

This is the network’s second attempt at a reality show like the popular movie and books.   In last year’s development cycle, a similar project was in development but didn’t get picked up by the network.
