Steve Pemberton joins Jack Whitehall's Bounty Hunters
Steve Pemberton will play a sinister private-school teacher in Bounty Hunters. The comedy thriller starring Jack Whitehall returns to Sky One for Series 2 on 14th March.
British Comedy Guide, 18th February 2019This Jack Whitehall vehicle has been a curious beast. There are shades of The Three Amigos as his art expert finds himself hopelessly floundering in the world of ruthless gangsterism into which he is cast. However, there are also moments of quite shocking violence, including the shooting of his own father, with which the comedy sits awkwardly. Tonight sees him summoned to Mexico to explain the value of the Syrian loot to its purchasers in a final showdown.
David Stubbs, The Guardian, 29th November 2017Bounty Hunters to return for Series 2
Sky One has ordered a second series of Jack Whitehall's comedy-thriller Bounty Hunters.
British Comedy Guide, 21st November 2017Bounty Hunters is a big ratings hit for Sky
The first episode of the Sky One series attracted a cumulative audience of 1.377 million, making it the biggest sitcom launch on Sky One for six years.
Bruce Dessau, Beyond The Joke, 14th November 2017Bounty Hunters, Jack Whitehall's crime/revenge fantasy, is grand fun. There's an obvious yet still delicious frisson to be had in the juxtaposition of Rosie Perez's angry Nuyorican finding herself in Wimbledon with Whitehall, his tiny electric car and his PhD in Flemish tapestry: much class war, some laughs, more missed chances.

The star talks showbiz godfathers, being embarrassed about how posh he is, and going to a Full Moon Party with his 77-year-old father...
The Mirror, 29th October 2017TV Review: Bounty Hunters
While it probably won't go down in history as one of the best, Bounty Hunters is worth tuning in to if you happen to be sitting in front of the TV when it's on.
Harley Rae, The National Student, 26th October 2017Bounty Hunters review: silly script & a lack of laughs
Rosie Perez can't save this odd-couple comedy-drama, co-starring (and co-written by) the overexposed Jack Whitehall.
Ellen E. Jones, The Guardian, 26th October 2017Preview - Bounty Hunters
Jack Whitehall does what he seems to best at: playing middle/upper class fools who are clearly out of their depth.
Ian Wolf, On The Box, 25th October 2017It is hard to imagine an more odd couple than Jack Whitehall in maximum mimsy mode and Do the Right Thing's spitfire Rosie Perez, the chalk-and-gelignite pairing at the heart of Sky1's madcap new action comedy. Whitehall plays bumbling student Barnaby who, while minding his dad's antiques shop, gets embroiled in a plot involving looted Syrian treasure. Enter Nina: a streetwise Brooklyn skip-tracer with some special skills and her own covert agenda.
