London, 8 October 2019 - Amazon Prime Video today announced its first unscripted Italian Amazon Original series Celebrity Hunted - Caccia all'uomo, a real-life thriller over six episodes where celebrities go on the run from a team of expert hunters. The show brings together eight Italian celebrities including football player Francesco Totti, artist Fedez, YouTuber Luis Sal, actor Claudio Santamaria alongside the journalist and writer Francesca Barra, popular anchorman Costantino della Gherardesca (Pechino Express), plus actors Diana Del Bufalo (Che Dio ci aiuti, C'era una volta Studio Uno) and Cristiano Caccamo (Matrimonio italiano, Questo il mio paese).

Celebrity Hunted - Caccia all'uomo will see the celebrities attempt to stay off the radar and remain at large for 14 days across Italy with limited financial resources. Hunting them down are some of the most renowned and feared Italian professional investigators, cyber analysts, online profilers and human trackers from law enforcement and military intelligence. The Hunters can use any legal means to trace the celebrities including call tracing, CCTV, number plate recognition and freedom of information requests.

With Celebrity Hunted - Caccia all'uomo we are bringing a truly innovative concept to viewers, said Georgia Brown, Director of European Amazon Original Series, Amazon Studios. Quality production and A-list talent make this show unique and we are excited to bring this never-seen-before manhunt adventure exclusively to Prime Video in Italy.

Celebrity Hunted - Caccia all'uomo is a revolutionary format with innovative storytelling thanks to its suspenseful and thrilling elements. The show sets up a unique challenge that will never have been seen on TV before .

Hunted was originally created in the UK by Shine TV, part of Endemol Shine Group and this deal marks the eighth adaptation for the format around the world.
