Linkin Park Announce First Australian Tour In 13 Years
Yara Sameh iconic US rock band Linkin Park will make their grand return to Australia next year for the first time in 13 years. They will kick off the tour on March 3rd at the Brisbane Entertainment Centre, and will be held at arenas in the capital cities of Brisbane, Melbourne, and Sydney from early to mid-March. (see full details below). The shows will be the band's first visit to Australia since the 2013 Soundwave Festival and the first since their new vocalist, Emily Armstrong, joined the group. Having toured the country in support of every album up to 2012's "Living Things", Linkin Park did not include Australia on the itinerary for 2014's "The Hunting Party" tour, and no Aussie dates were scheduled for their "One More Light" world tour at the time of vocalist Chester Bennington's death in July 2017. The performances will take place as part of the band's ongoing "From Zero World Tour," which launched in September 2024. "From Zero," their first album since 2017's "One More Light," debuted in November 2024.

The Hunting Party Season 2: Release date speculation, cast and plot details – Everything we know so far
By Aman Shukla Published on August 3, 2025, 20:00 IST Last updated August 3, 2025, 15:32 IST Fans of NBC's thrilling crime drama The Hunting Party can't wait to dive back into the high-stakes world of escaped serial killers and elite investigators. After a gripping first season that left everyone on the edge of their seats, anticipation for Season 2 is at an all-time high. Here's a detailed look at everything known so far about The Hunting Party Season 2, including release date speculation, cast and plot details. The Hunting Party Season 2 Potential Release Date NBC confirmed the show's renewal during the 2025 NBCUniversal Upfronts on May 12, giving fans plenty to celebrate. At first, there were whispers of a late 2025 return, but it looks like we'll have to wait just a bit longer. Season 2 is now expected to drop in early 2026. What caused the delay? For one, production is moving from Vancouver to New York City, which naturally shakes up the timeline. If filming kicks off by mid-2025 and follows a similar schedule to Season 1 (which shot from June to November 2024 before premiering in January), fans can probably expect a return around January or February 2026. NBC is reportedly keeping the same Thursday 10 PM slot, right after Law & Order: SVU . The Hunting Party Season 2 Expected Cast The core cast of The Hunting Party brought depth and chemistry to the Inmate Recovery Task Force in Season 1, and most are expected to return to tackle the next chapter of this intense drama. Here's who's likely to be back: Melissa Roxburgh as Rebecca 'Bex' Henderson : The former FBI profiler remains the heart of the series, navigating the mysteries of 'The Pit' and her own complex past. Bex's journey is far from over, and Roxburgh's performance is a cornerstone of the show. Nick Wechsler as Oliver Odell : Bex's ex-partner and lover, whose fate was left hanging in the Season 1 finale. Did Oliver die in Bex's arms? Executive producer JJ Bailey teased that answers will come in Season 2, so Wechsler's return seems likely. Patrick Sabongui as Ryan Hassani : The CIA agent grappling with personal loss—his wife's death—adds emotional weight to the team. His hidden motives could spark new conflicts. Josh McKenzie as Shane Florence : The ex-army guard's shocking discovery about his mother, Colonel Lazarus (Kari Matchett), sets up a major arc for Season 2. Shane's internal struggle will be a focal point. Sara Garcia as Jennifer Morales : The Army Intelligence officer's tech skills and loyalty make her indispensable to the team. Kyra Leroux in a recurring role: Details about her character are still under wraps, but her presence adds intrigue. Season 1 also featured weekly guest stars, and Season 2 is expected to continue this trend, introducing new serial killers and supporting characters to keep the 'killer-of-the-week' format fresh. Kari Matchett's Colonel Lazarus, revealed as a 'graduated' former inmate, is likely to play a larger role, especially in Shane's storyline. The Hunting Party Season 2 Potential Plot The Hunting Party Season 2 promises to blend its signature 'killer-of-the-week' procedural style with deeper exploration of the overarching mystery surrounding 'The Pit,' the top-secret prison that housed the nation's most dangerous serial killers. The Season 1 finale left fans with burning questions, and the showrunners have dropped some exciting hints about what's next. Resolving the Season 1 Cliffhangers The biggest question mark hangs over Oliver Odell's fate. After a dramatic moment in the Season 1 finale, fans are desperate to know whether he survived. Executive producer JJ Bailey told TV Insider , 'You have to wait until Season 2 to get the answer,' suggesting a resolution early in the new season. Another key plot point is whether the Inmate Recovery Task Force will stay together. Bailey noted that the Season 2 premiere will focus on how the team convinces Bex to keep the group intact, setting the stage for their next mission. Shane's Family Secrets Shane Florence's discovery that his mother is Colonel Lazarus, a former inmate now in a position of power, changes everything. Executive producer Jake Coburn teased that Shane's struggle with this revelation will be central, as he grapples with her past and her current role. This personal conflict will likely intersect with the team's broader investigation into The Pit's purpose and the conspiracy behind the explosion that set the killers free. A Bigger, Bolder Season With an expanded episode order, Season 2 has room to explore more standalone cases while weaving in the serialized conspiracy. The move to New York City for filming could introduce urban settings for the team's pursuits, contrasting with Season 1's rural Wyoming backdrop. Expect high-stakes chases, psychological tension, and twists that challenge the team's trust in each other and the system they serve.

NBC Pushes ‘The Hunting Party' to Midseason, As It Sets Fall Premiere Dates for NBA, ‘One Chicago' Wednesdays and ‘Law & Order' Thursdays
NBC is bringing 'Law & Order: Organized Crime' back to the network this fall, pushing 'The Hunting Party' to midseason. That's among the scheduling tweaks revealed by the network as it unveils premiere dates for its full fall lineup. NBC previously unveiled its fall 2025 schedule back in May, but the 'L&O:OG' and 'Hunting Party' switcheroo are among several notable changes. The second season of 'The Hunting Party' was originally scheduled to air following new episodes of 'Law & Order' and 'Law & Order: SVU' on Thursday nights. Instead, the sophomore season will now be held until after January. More from Variety Native American Community Center Comedy Pilot Not Moving Forward at NBC 'The Voice' Renewed for Season 29 With Format Revamp; Kelly Clarkson, John Legend, Adam Levine Returning NBC Orders Cheerleading Comedy 'Stumble' to Series In its place, NBC will air a three-hour 'Law & Order' block on Thursdays beginning Sept. 25. Following 'Law & Order' and 'SVU,' the fifth season of 'Law & Order: Organized Crime' will be re-aired on the broadcaster at 10 p.m. ET. Season 5 of the show originally debuted on Peacock in April after airing its first four seasons on NBC. According to an individual with knowledge of the situation, there is a chance 'The Hunting Party' will begin airing in February 2026 to take advantage of promotion around NBC's packed sports schedule that month. That includes the Super Bowl, the NBA All-Star game, and Olympics coverage. 'The Hunting Party' is also relocating from Canada to shoot in New York for its second season. In keeping with the Dick Wolf of it all, NBC's 'One Chicago' lineup returns on Wednesday, Oct. 1 led off by 'Chicago Med' at 8 p.m., followed by 'Chicago Fire' and 'Chicago PD.' One other change affects NBC's comedy lineup. Although the network originally left open time slots after returning comedies 'St. Denis Medical' and 'Happy's Place' on Mondays and Fridays respectively, both shows will now air back to back new episodes beginning on Monday, Nov. 3 and Friday, Nov. 7. NBC has two new comedies — cheerleading show 'Stumble' and 'The Fall and Rise of Reggie Dinkins' starring Tracy Morgan and Daniel Radcliffe — still waiting in the wings. The shows could still potentially air following 'St. Denis Medical' or 'Happy's Place' come fall, but no plans are locked at the time of this publishing. Looking elsewhere on the schedule, the NBA will make its highly-anticipated return to NBC officially on Oct. 21. The network will kick off coverage at 6:30 p.m. ET with the pregame show, followed by a double header starting at 7:30 p.m. The teams participating in those games will be announced shortly. The medical drama 'Brilliant Minds' will return for its second season on Monday, Sept. 22 at 10 p.m. following a the season premiere episode of 'The Voice.' The new unscripted series 'On Brand with Jimmy Fallon' will launch on Tuesday, Sept. 30 at 10 p.m. NBC will air two episodes of the marketing competition series per week, with an episode also airing on Fridays starting Oct 3. The 51st season of 'Saturday Night Live' begins on Oct. 4. As previously announced, NBC will air a two-hour 'Wicked' special on Thursday, Nov. 6 starting at 8 p.m., two weeks ahead of the launch of the film 'Wicked: For Good.'

‘Freaking obsessed': Josh McKenzie on meeting his 90s child star crush
Josh McKenzie, local star of The Hunting Party, Filthy Rich and La Brea, shares his life in television. Like almost every New Zealand actor who has made it into a big snazzy international TV show, Josh McKenzie cut his teeth on Shortland Street long before he starred in enormous American productions like La Brea and The Hunting Party. Playing the role of executive assistant Nate, McKenzie says the soap opera was 'one hell of a training ground' for a young actor. 'You learn how to deliver dialogue at pace with one or two takes convincingly, and you've just got to be pumping constantly – otherwise you look like an idiot,' he laughs. It's this stamina and work ethic that he says sets New Zealanders apart in the international industry, and came in very handy on the set of The Hunting Party. In the fast-paced procedural, in which a task force is assembled to hunt escaped serial killers after an explosion at a top secret prison facility, McKenzie plays former soldier and prison guard Shane Florence. 'It's a very fast turnaround show, but still nowhere near as fast as Shortland Street,' he says. 'Honestly, after you do Shortland Street, everything else feels like a luxury.' And while he acknowledges procedural shows might not be 'hip' at the moment, McKenzie says they always have a place in his watchlist. 'I'm a real sucker for any kind of procedural – killer of the week, crime of the week, medical case of the week. They're all nice little comfort watches for me.' Auspiciously, he was deep into rewatching House when he got the call to join The Hunting Party. 'It's a very different backdrop, but a similar format – you've got the central unit of people who are trying to solve a problem, and everyone fills an archetype.' The first episode of The Hunting Party opens with its gigantic, secret citadel blowing up in the middle of nowhere, and McKenzie still remembers how it felt to be there. 'It's kind of like stepping into a theme park,' he says. 'You're on your first day on set and there's the ruins of a giant top secret prison right there. That feeling never really gets old for me, where that inner child wakes up and just wants to run around and have fun.' And while we are channeling childhood, we then asked McKenzie to take us through his life in television. My earliest TV memory is… I was so freaking obsessed with McDonald's Young Entertainers that I wrote a handwritten letter to Drew Ne'emia. McDonald's Young Entertainers really awoke something in me, it was like our version of the Disney Kids. The show I would rush home from school to watch is… Malcolm in the Middle was my big after school show, which I've also started rewatching again recently. It really holds up and you can see how much of a genius Bryan Cranston was. He's actually incredible. My first TV crush was… I would honestly probably have to say Drew Ne'emia. I served him a drink when I was working at Lone Star and I was about to say, 'hey, man, I wrote you a letter when I was seven' but I didn't. My first time on screen was… I played like a handless skeleton in a Halloween special for Where in the World is Carmen Sandiego. I got to choose my costume and I wanted the skeleton, but he was missing one of the gloves. They were like 'can you choose something else' and I was like 'no, I want to be the skeleton'. So that's how I was a handless skeleton on Where in the World is Carmen Sandiego. My TV guilty pleasure is… My partner is obsessed with Shahs of Sunset, which is a show about some of the worst people. I was building some Ikea furniture and watching it with her, and then I found myself being totally engrossed by the episode. My favourite NZ TV ad is… My little sister was in the Milky Bar ad where Jemaine Clement played the bad guy with a moustache. It was set in a saloon with all the little kids playing the hokey typical roles in a Western. She played the saloon girl, and I vividly remember remembering visiting on set when she was doing that. My favourite TV character of all time is… What Anthony Starr did in Outrageous Fortune with Jethro and Vann made a huge impression on me as a budding young actor, so those twins are definitely up there as some of my favourites. I also love Ted Danson's character in Cheers, Robin Wright's character in House of Cards, Gillian Anderson in The Fall is fucking epic. The TV project I wish I could be involved in is… The Sopranos or The Wire – every character has something going on. I'm also a video game fan, so The Last of Us would also be a dream. A show that I'll never watch, no matter how many people say I should is… I won't watch TV shows on Tiktok. I just can't. It hurts my soul. And I'm sure it's the future of how we're going to digest media, but I just can't bring myself to do it. My friend always sends me these these micro soaps, three minute long episodes, and they are all so bad. It's always the richest man in the world, but his wife is cheating on him, but she's actually richer than him. All these terrible setups and they just churn them out. The last thing I watched on television was… I watched the latest episode of The Last of Us and the last episode of The Pitt, both in the same night.

The Voice Season 27 Finale Is Upon Us: Who Will Win… and Who Should?
The Blocks have been played. The Steals have been used. Even the Super Saves have been deployed. Now, all that's left of The Voice Season 27 is the two-night finale (airing Monday and Tuesday on NBC at 8/7c). Who's going to win? So glad you asked. Below, I've laid out the odds as I see 'em of each of the Top 5 emerging victorious. Jadyn Cree (Team Michael Bublé) | The daughter of Season 25 finalist Bryan Olesen seems to have found a fan base in kids. But as effervescent as she is, she's altogether outgunned by the competition. She's lucky she made the Top 5 over Bryson Battle, Conor James, Olivia Kuper Harris… heck, at all. Chances of winning: 5 percent. More from TVLine The Voice Season 28 Coaches Revealed: Who's Joining Snoop Dogg This Fall? NBC Fall Schedule: St. Denis to Lead Monday Comedy Block, NBA Tuesdays, The Hunting Party Replaces Found Chicago Med Very Nonchalantly Brings Back [Spoiler] After 5 Seasons - Plus, Hannah Gets Shocking News! Adam David (Team Michael Bublé) | Watching Adam, it's been easy to forget that he's a contestant, not a guest performer. He's just. That. Good. And though he hasn't generated as much hoopla as the rest of the Top 5 — he had to sing for the Wildcard Instant Save — the raw intensity of his vocals cannot be overstated. Chances of winning: 12 percent. Renzo (Team John Legend) | As the coaches have noted repeatedly, Renzo has star quality. But he isn't just a memorable image and compelling stage presence, he's got a formidable set of pipes that have allowed him to slay songs by everyone from Billie Eilish to Lynyrd Skynyrd. Chances of winning: 19 percent. Jaelen Johnston (Team Kelsea Ballerini) | You know a contestant has some heat behind him when his coach is branded a bad guy online for eliminating him. Easy on the ears as well as the eyes, the Super Save singer could well follow in the bootsteps of Season 22's victor, fellow country boy Bryce Leatherwood. Chances of winning: 26 percent. Lucia Flores-Wiseman (Team Adam Levine) | A frontrunner since the Blind Auditions, Lucia is poised, polished and blessed with a voice that's too uniquely tangy to be mistaken for anyone else's. She's not everyone's cup of tea, but even her detractors have to admit that she's special. Chances of winning: 38 percent. Every Winner of The Voice View List OK, your turn.
