Ruth Barrett is scoring the new TV drama series Hunted.

The eight-part series is produced by Kudos Film & Television, in association with Big Light Productions and the BBC. Barrett’s previous credits include the Michael Caine-starring thriller Harry Brown, as well as the Helena Bonham Carter-starring Toast directed by S.J.

I wonder why he didn’t go with Mark Snow. It’s not unusual, looking over Snow’s credits, to see him scoring two TV shows at the same time and doing movies intermittedly during that. As far as I know, since his agency doesn’t update his resume very well, he’s only scoring “Blue Bloods” — assuming he came back for the new season.
