The BBC has released a poster image for Hunted, BBC One’s new contemporary spy series.

The eight-part series features Grey’s Anatomy star Melissa George as Sam, a “highly skilled operative for an elite private intelligence firm”, alongside Adam Rayner (Mistresses) as her love interest.

Hunted sees Sam survive an attempt on her life that may have been orchestrated by members of her own team. Once she returns to the firm, she performs her secretive duties without knowing who to trust and who wants her dead.

Written by Frank Spotnitz, best known for writing nearly 50 episodes of The X Files, the show (previously titled Nemesis) began filming last November and is produced by the makers of Spooks.

Hunted is due to begin on BBC One this autumn.
