Let "The Hunt" begin. CW has ordered a (hopefully) bloodless version of "The Hunger Games."

"The Hunt" will be an hour-long reality series in which 12 teams of two compete in a wilderness competition taking place over 30 days without provisions of food, water or shelter. The contestants have to use their "physicality, survival skills and hunting skills" to stay in the game, capture other teams with the ultimate winning team earning a large cash prize, according to deadline.com.

The network also ordered a dating show titled "Perfect Score."

The contestants on the show have a chance to win both a date and cash if they can "successfully identify their perfect match," reported the website.

The half-hour show has two friends try to pick out their ideal date from a group of 12 singles after both the players and the contestants have taken compatibility tests, reported the website. The tests are used to set a cash value for each possible match and the player who selects the person with the highest cash value wins the money and the date.

Both series are set for summer on CW, channel 19, cable 12.

In other news, the network set the Feb. 19 premiere of "Cult" for February 19. It will replace "Emily Owens, M.D." when it's 13-episode run ends.

"Cult" stars Matt Davis as an investigative reporter who doesn't take his brother's fears about a TV show out to harm him until the brother goes missing. Then, Davis as Jeff Sefton learns hardcore fans of the series will literally kill to see what happens next on the show.

Here's the extended trailer for "Cult."
