Predator: Killer of Killers — First Look at Hulu’s Bold Animated Chapter in the Iconic Franchise
🗓 Streaming June 6, 2025 on Hulu and internationally via Disney+
🎯 With Hulu now on Disney+, the hunt just got a whole lot bigger.
The Predator is back — but this time, the story is unlike anything we’ve seen before.
Predator: Killer of Killers marks a daring and fresh entry in the legendary Predator franchise — this time, in the form of a high-stakes adult animated anthology film, directed by Dan Trachtenberg (Prey, 2022) and written by Micho Robert Rutare.
Known for its savage intergalactic hunter, this new installment flips the script by diving deep into the concept of what it means to be a “killer”… and who’s truly at the top of that food chain.
🔥 The Plot: History’s Greatest Killers… Hunted
This is no simple sequel — it’s a multi-era, animated bloodbath, featuring three stories across three brutal time periods:
Viking Revenge: A hardened Norse raider embarks on a merciless quest with her son, only to find herself stalked by something far more ruthless.
Feudal Betrayal: A skilled ninja defies his samurai brother in a deadly succession battle — but a far deadlier adversary lies in wait.
WWII Dogfight: A fearless Allied pilot investigates a mysterious enemy in the skies — an extraterrestrial threat no warplane can outmaneuver.
Each tale brings us a human “killer”… but all become prey when the Predator arrives. This isn’t just survival — it’s a hunt for the ultimate warrior.
🗣️ The Voice Cast
Leading this voice-driven carnage is an intense ensemble:
Lindsay LaVanchy
Louis Ozawa Changchien (returning to the Predator universe after Predators, 2010)
Rick Gonzalez
Michael Biehn (Aliens, The Terminator) — sci-fi royalty returns.
🎨 The Animation: Brutal Beauty
Produced by The Third Floor (famous for previsualization work on The Mandalorian, Avengers), the animation promises gritty, stylized violence and visceral storytelling with a cinematic punch. Think Love, Death + Robots but dripping with Predator-level intensity.
🔧 Behind the Scenes
Directed by: Dan Trachtenberg
Written by: Micho Robert Rutare
Produced by: John Davis, Dan Trachtenberg, Marc Toberoff, and Ben Rosenblatt
Production Studios: 20th Century Studios, Davis Entertainment, The Third Floor, and 20th Century Animation
Trachtenberg, who revived the franchise with the widely praised Prey (2022), returns to expand the universe with creative freedom — this time, unbound by live-action limits.
🩸 Why It Matters
With its bold format and multi-timeline setup, Predator: Killer of Killers honors the franchise’s bloody legacy while taking thrilling creative risks. It’s also the first animated film in the franchise, signaling a new path for Predator lore — one that dives deeper into myth, legend, and savagery.
And with Predator: Badlands on the horizon in 2025, this film sets the stage for even more interstellar chaos to come.
🎯 Final Thoughts
Whether you’re a longtime fan of the Yautja or just love a gritty, stylish action anthology — this is one to watch. The Predator isn’t just back — it’s evolved.
🩸 Predator: Killer of Killers premieres June 6, 2025, only on Hulu (and on Disney+ internationally).
