Wiki.

Manhunt is an American reality television series that aired on UPN in 2001.

The contestants on the show posed as fugitives who tried to escape actors who pretended to be bounty hunters. The one who eluded the bounty hunters the longest would receive a cash prize.

Manhunt encountered multiple problems during its brief run. A deal collapsed with the World Wrestling Federation (where SmackDown! aired in the same network) in which a number of their "superstars" were to be a part of the show's cast. Later, separate investigative reports by Peter Lance and game-show enthusiast Steve Beverly revealed that portions of the show were being filmed at Griffith Park in Los Angeles, California, rather than entirely on location in Hawaii, as the producers were not satisfied with the original material. Allegations were also made that Paramount Television had convinced a producer to rig the show in favor of a particular contestant, which violated FCC regulations put in place following the 1950s quiz show scandals.

The program ended after six episodes.

John Cena (then a WWE developmental talent) and former American Gladiator Raye "Zap" Hollitt were among the cast members.
