Hunter is an American police drama Tv series created by Frank Lupo, and starring Fred Dryer as Sgt. Rick Hunter and Stepfanie Kramer as Sgt. Dee Dee McCall, which ran on NBC from 1984 to 1991. However, Kramer left following the season to pursue musical and acting opportunities. From the season, Hunter partnered with two unique women officers. The titular character, Sgt. Rick Hunter, has been a wily, physically imposing, and usually rule-breaking homicide detective with the Los Angeles Police Department. The show's main characters, McCall and Hunter, resolve many of these cases. The show's executive producer during the first season was Stephen J. Cannell, whose company produced the sequence.
