Louise Gough, Screen Australia’s Director of Narrative Content said, “Fox Hunt is a standout project that brings fresh perspective to the thriller genre. Nicole Delprado’s unique vision, combined with the dynamic character of Mackenzie Fox, offers audiences a compelling narrative infused with wit and intensity. We and the team at Dynamic Television are proud to support such innovative storytelling that highlights Australia’s creative talent on the international stage.”

Carrie Stein, Dynamic’s President Global Scripted Television said, “Fox Hunt is exactly what we were looking for from our initiative with Screen Australia and we can't wait to begin further development of the series with Nicole and Kate. The pilot script instantly grabbed our attention because of its undeniable central character who's mysterious, flawed, brash and has a fantastic and surprising back story that comes to light slowly and suspensefully in service of the present-day season-long mystery.”
