DESCRIPTION:
(from Viaplay US's press release, March 2025) The multiple award-winning, acclaimed true crime Dutch drama series The Hunt follows the emotional 13-year search for the perpetrator of a horrific assault and killing of a 16-year-old girl - a tragedy that tore families and the village apart and terrified the entire country. Inspired by the real-life murder of teenager Marianne Vaatstra, The Hunt makes its exclusive debut in the U.S. on the Viaplay streaming service on Thursday, March 27, 2025. The Hunt opens in the spring of 1999, when a 16-year-old girl last seen bicycling home late at night after arguing with her boyfriend was found raped and murdered between a small village and a refugee center in a Dutch province. The murder of Anneke Boorsma tore apart not only entire families and a community, but also kept the whole nation in its grip. This six-episode crime drama series chronicles the long and frustrating search for the perpetrator, with each episode presenting the story from a different main character's perspective and exploring the impact of the murder on their lives. The crime remained unsolved until two main detectives managed to initiate a large-scale DNA investigation, which finally broke the case open. |
