NBC's 'The Hunting Party' Fuels Fan Frenzy Over Bex & Shane Romance

The crime procedural "The Hunting Party," which premiered in 2025, has viewers on the edge of their seats, not just for its thrilling plot but also for the simmering romance between characters Bex and Shane. Actors Melissa Roxburgh, who plays Bex, and Josh Dallas, who guest-starred as a diabolical character, are particularly invested in this "slow burn" storyline. Roxburgh emphasized that while the show's core is about catching dangerous killers who escaped a secret prison, the onscreen relationships, like the potential one between Bex and Shane, keep audiences engaged episode after episode.

Roxburgh, who has been trying to get Dallas on the show for some time, finally got her wish when he appeared in a recent episode. Dallas described his character as "diabolical" but relished the opportunity to play someone with a vastly different moral code. He also expressed his joy at reuniting with Roxburgh on set, highlighting it as a personal high point. The narrative is building towards a potential love triangle, with Shane representing safety and a mysterious "bad boy" figure, who had a reason for his past actions, adding layers of intrigue to Bex's storyline.
