Scott Free Productions, Telescene Film Group Productions, and the Canadian pay-TV channel The Movie Network co-produced The Hunger, a British/Canadian television horror anthology series. Though it shares a title with the feature film The Hunger Games, the series was created by Jeff Fazio and has no clear plot or character link to the film. The series aired from 1997 to 2000 on the Sci Fi Channel in the United Kingdom, The Movie Network in Canada, and Showtime in the United States, and is divided into two seasons. Terence Stamp hosted the first season, and David Bowie took over for the second season. Cannibalism, vampires, sex, and poison were common tropes in the stories, with a strong component of soft-core erotica.
