Hunted 2024 cast: Meet the fugitives of season 7

With tools at their disposal including CCTV, ANPR, tracker dogs and publicity campaigns, it isn't easy to escape the grasp of Hunted HQ – but doing so would net the lucky winners an incredible reward.

Indeed, the fugitives that manage to stay on the run for the longest time will win a share of the £100,000 prize fund, which only adds to the immense pressure felt by the latest batch of participants.

Among the line-up for Hunted 2024 is a care home coordinator, a product developer and two prison officers, all of whom are bringing their unique skills and character traits to the daunting task at hand.

Get to know the Hunted 2024 cast in detail below – including updates on who has already been found.

Sade and Cameron

Age: 36 and 19

Job: Sade is a property business owner and Cameron is a retail sales assistant

Mother and son duo Sade and Cameron have long been big fans of the show, and have always said they want to give it a go.

"I thought it would just be a really brilliant and amazing opportunity for us to have this experience together, to spend quality time together and have a bit of fun before we kind of both start on new separate journeys," Sade said.

"Just have a bit of a fun life experience with my son before he leaves me forever!"

As for their tactics, Cameron is looking to "tease" the hunters. "Just tease and take the mick out of them," he said.

"Primarily this is a game of the hunters chasing us, and I want to switch it up so that we're annoying the hunters."

Christine and Munya – HUNTED

Age: 48

Job: Christine is a teacher and Munya is an ex-British Army officer

Childhood sweethearts Christine and Munya used to go on adventures with each other all the time before they had their children, from hiking to mountain climbing, and signed up for Hunted to do something adventurous.

The plan for the married couple was to "keep the patterns unpredictable", with the intention being to move to different parts of the UK mainland.

Having worked in the military, Munya hoped to think of many different routes to success, but alas, these didn't work out – the duo were caught in the first episode of the season.

Alex and Jack

Age: 27

Job: Alex is a financial consultant and Jack is a product developer

Alex and Jack are best friends living in London, and they both decided to take part in Hunted to test themselves. The pair have their fair share of tactics, with Alex explaining that they plan to lay low when trying to evade the hunters.

"[We're going to] try and really throw them off the scent, and then we're going to use connections to make our time [as] pleasurable as possible," Alex said.

"Then when we're at a point of advantage; we might even try and kind of mess with the hunters a little bit."

Steve and Beth – HUNTED

Age: 60 and 23

Job: Steve is a construction business owner and Beth is a quantity surveyor

Father and daughter duo Steve and Beth were looking for an experience like no other, and were hoping to raise some big money for charity.

Given their gap in age, the pair were hoping to bring different things to their Hunted partnership. For Beth, she wanted to bring a sense of modernity.

"I think I'll be able to prove to him and other people that you don't have to necessarily slum it to beat the hunters."

For Steve, he wanted to prove to his daughter that "dinosaurs are not dead".

He explained: "Beth has been very lucky. She's had a very privileged life, where I hadn't at her age, so I really wanted to try and strip her back and make her realise what it's like to rough it.

"Beth never had to rough it. That will be very interesting – I think we'll be having a few battles along the line."

Sadly, the pair are now out of contention – Steve was caught in episode 2, leaving Beth to briefly fly solo before being tracked down in the next instalment.

Annida and Cathy

Age: 55 and 56

Job: Annida is an aesthetic technician and Cathy is a care home activity coordinator

Best friends Annida and Cathy are taking on the hunters in season 7, whether they like it or not.

Ahead of her appearance on the show, Annida said she took part because Cathy asked her to. "I wouldn't have done it by choice," she said.

"But I've been dragged into it screaming and I'm here now. She's my friend and she asked me very nicely. I just thought, it's a challenge – if I've been asked to do something, I'm not going to say no. That's just who I am."

The duo are keen to prove that age is just a number, but will their number be up after a card transaction alerts the hunters to their location?

Jaxon and Nicola

Age: 28 and 26

Job: Jaxon and Nicola are both prison officers

Jaxon wanted to take part in Hunters to try and raise awareness for transgender people.

"I'm 18 months into transitioning from female to male myself, so I've just been trying to be visible for people and provide that education and awareness," Jaxon said.

"Just make it a lot more normal and show people that you can still have a life and you can still do whatever you want to do."

As for why Nicola signed up, she said: "I would like to do it just for something that we can do together as me and Jaxon, since he has transitioned to male, but also for myself. I wanted to do it to prove something to myself, really.

"I feel like I'm misjudged a lot in my appearance, and I just want to do something to prove people wrong."

Hunted will air on Channel 4 on Sunday 17th March at 9pm.
