Synopsis of Manhunt

Manhunt: Unabomber recreates the manhunt the FBI launched against Ted Kaczynski, a man who spread terror across the United States by sending letter bombs between the 1980s and the early 1990s. Sam Worthington and Paul Bettany lead the cast, and Bettany brings Kaczynski himself to life. Created by Andrew Sodroski, Jim Clemente and Tony Gittelson, the series airs on Discovery Channel and follows the investigators trying to figure out who is behind the attacks before the bomber strikes again. The story is based on real events, although it is a fictionalized account of the investigation. The central conflict revolves around the pressure to catch the culprit before he sends more letter bombs.

Trivia about Manhunt

Before it was called Manhunt, the series was titled Manifesto. Its order was announced in March 2016 during a presentation by Rich Ross, president of Discovery Communications.

In May 2016, Entertainment Weekly published several promotional photos offering a first look at Paul Bettany as Ted Kaczynski.

In July 2018, Charter Communications was negotiating advanced talks to order two more seasons that would air on its Spectrum cable service.

Netflix acquired the rights to the series in November 2017 and premiered it on December 12 in several territories.

The review aggregator Rotten Tomatoes gives the series a 93% approval rating, with an average score of 7.67/10 based on 29 reviews.

Production on the series began on January 30, 2017, in Atlanta, Georgia, and it premiered at the end of that same year.

The first season was supposed to be shot in Pittsburgh, but a lack of available funds for Pennsylvania's film tax credits, combined with delays in casting the lead, forced the production to move to Atlanta.

Dana Brunetti sued Lionsgate, Discovery Communications, and Charter Communications in an attempt to block the second season, which focuses on the bombing at the Atlanta Olympics in 1996.
