The series was produced in Canada by The Danforth Studios Ltd. (a D'or/Jackson Company)[1] in association with Alliance Atlantis with some photography in the United Kingdom.
In season one, Starhunter starred Michael Paré, Tanya Allen, Claudette Roche and featured Murray Melvin and Stephen Marcus.
In season two Clive Robertson, Dawn Stern and Paul Fox were added to the cast, while the original actors except Allen and Marcus were dropped.
Contrary to the wishes of the series creators, the investors in the second season blocked the return of Paré and replaced Melvin.
Starhunter follows the exploits of a crew of 23rd-century bounty hunters aboard a refitted luxury-liner, led by Dante Montana (Paré).
Dante took the job to provide a means of traveling while also financing the search for his son, Travis, who was abducted a decade prior by a group of brigands called Raiders.
The Orchard comprises scientists and researchers dedicated to unlocking, in hopes of controlling, alien genes called "The Divinity Cluster".
Travis Montana, Dante's son and Percy's cousin, joins the crew along with his sidekick Marcus Fagen.
As the countdown to implement the crew's desperate measure to return to the normal universe reaches zero, the show cuts to black and the credits roll.
The same posts represent that the series will bring back most of Season one and Two regulars including explicitly Michael Pare.
These changes, involving CGI, green-screen and other processes were made as a part of bringing Starhunter: ReduX closer to the creators' original vision for Season two.
The two seasons of Starhunter are released separately on Region 1 DVDs, with each package bearing the somewhat misleading legend "The Complete Series."
Alliance Home Entertainment released season one in a 4-disc DVD set in Canada as Starhunter: The Complete Series on April 19, 2011.
Starhunter Redux was released as a complete series blu-ray set containing both seasons from SHOUT Factory on August 23, 2022.
