Hunting Season is an American LGBT-themed comedy-drama web series created by Jon Marcus. Following the romantic and sexual exploits of Alex (Ben Baur) and his small group of friends in New York City, the story was inspired by and largely based on the 2005–08 blog The Great Cock Hunt and the 2008 novel of the same name published by Kensington Books.

Season one premiered in September 2012 with eight short-format webisodes. Season two, funded by a 2013 Kickstarter crowdfunding campaign that raised $151,406, premiered in May 2015 and consisted of four longer episodes. The series's theme music was composed by Jake Monaco.

Development and production

Creator Jon Marcus was inspired to produce his own web series after watching The Guild (2007–2013) and later Web Therapy (2008–2014).[2] He said in 2012:

{{Quote|Show after show in development at American networks is a remake of something that was on the air first in another country ... Has the industry completely lost confidence in its own ability to come up with new ideas? The world of the Web was exciting to me. It reminded me of the ‘90s, when I started my career in indie film; when you could see filmmakers like Todd Haynes, Eddie Burns, Spike Lee, and Ang Lee telling unique stories with characters who hadn’t been given screen time before; and when there was a reliable audience who would show up to financially support them. I think the time is right now for audiences to be able to do that through the Web, and to support an entertainment economy that takes risks and tells original stories.[2]}}

The story is inspired by and largely based on the 2005–08 blog The Great Cock Hunt and the 2008 novel of the same name published by Kensington Books.[3][4][5][6] A fan of the blog as it was being published, Marcus told Next Magazine in 2012, "My friends all passed it around. It was really hot, it was really fun and it reminded us all of being in New York, which I had been in my 20s and it was just addictive."[5] During the period of the blog's run, three cable TV networks directed at LGBT viewers had been launched: Q, Here! and Logo.[7] Noting the popularity of the racy gay drama series Queer as Folk (2000–05) on Showtime, Marcus thought one of these networks would be interested in a show about single gay men in New York.[5][7] He contacted the anonymous writer of the blog and optioned it for development as a series.[5][7] Marcus said in a 2012 AfterElton interview:

{{Quote|I loved the characters. I loved Alex’s voice. I thought he was as smutty, but he was also really funny and really smart. I thought that there was something about the way that he was so unabashed and shameless about his sex life. An unrepentant slut. A lot of people that I know are like that, and certainly I had a phase like this. We all went through this period in our twenties of, you know, being quite taken with the complete availability of hot single gay men in New York. But I think that there’s real shame that accompanies that period for a lot of people. People don’t like to talk about it, and here was Alex writing gleefully about all the sex he was having. A lot more sex than I had, certainly, but I really identified with him and sort of felt great about the fact that he could just reach out and celebrate it and make it okay. Alex just flings open a second closet door that I think a lot of gay men have about being sexually active.[7]}}

Marcus shelved the idea for a few years when he found that "no one in the business wanted to make the show I wanted to make".[5][7] He revisited the project in 2010 as he noticed the increased popularity and accessibility of online programming.[7] Marcus enlisted Adam Baran, and the two began adapting the blog into scripts, while also fleshing out certain characters and expanding the concept to both appeal to a wider audience and to avoid stereotypes.[7]

Hunting Season is set and filmed in New York City.[5] Marcus financed the first season himself with "very, very little money",[7] and a 2013 Kickstarter crowdfunding campaign to finance season 2 of the series raised $151,406.[8]

Broadcast

The first three episodes of Hunting Season were released online on Wednesday, September 12, 2012.[6] Five more episodes followed, one released every subsequent Wednesday until October 17, 2012.[4] An uncensored edition of the series, containing nudity, was available for paid download at HuntingSeason.tv, while a censored edition was freely available LOGOtv.com.[4][5][6] In August 2013, the uncensored version of season 1 became available for paid download from Vimeo On Demand,[9] with the censored version free for viewing at HuntingSeason.tv.

Season 2 premiered on Vimeo on May 5, 2015.[10][11][12]

Season 1 consists of eight short-format webisodes of between 9 and 12 minutes in duration,[9] and the four episodes of season 2 are between 21 and 30 minutes long.[12]

Reception

Emily Rome of Entertainment Weekly called the series a "gay Sex and the City", and noted its "full-frontal nudity".[4] Next Magazine called Hunting Season "sexy" and "racy",[5][11] noting that "the series has also gained attention for its large amount of nude scenes".[5] In January 2016, Out named Alex as one of its "30 Most Eligible Gay TV Characters",[13] after previously naming Baur to its Out100 list in 2015.[14]
