Critical popcorn

I love a teaser trailer that plays with you and after the first one a few weeks back, this new one seriously twists at the end for Amazon Prime Video’s Hunters, coming in 2020 to the streaming service. Not only does it star Al Pacino, who’s having a welcome renaissance at the moment, but there’s something different happening here and I’m hopeful this is a good thing.

The series also stars Logan Lerman, Jerrika Hinton, Josh Radnor, Kate Mulvany, Tiffany Boone, Greg Austin, Louis Ozawa Changchien, Carol Kane, Saul Rubinek, Dylan Baker and Lena Olin. Watch this teaser trailer, it doesn’t quite do what you expect:

Exec produced by Jordan Peele, as well as being led by the legendary Pacino, Hunters follows a diverse band of Nazi hunters living in 1977 New York City. The Hunters, as they’re known, have discovered that hundreds of high-ranking Nazi officials are living among us and conspiring to create a Fourth Reich in the U.S. The eclectic team of Hunters will set out on a bloody quest to bring the Nazis to justice and thwart their new genocidal plans.

Hunters, produced by Peele’s Monkeypaw Productions and Sonar Entertainment, was created by David Weil (Moonfall), who serves as executive producer and co-showrunner alongside executive producer Nikki Toscano (Shades of Blue). Alfonso Gomez-Rejon (American Horror Story) will direct the pilot and is an executive producer.

Hunters is awaiting a UK release streaming date, we’ll share when we get it!
