First Trailer for ‘Predator: Killer of Killers’ Unveils Animated Hunt Coming to Hulu in June

We’ve got some exciting news for anyone who loves a good sci-fi thriller with a twist. There’s a new Predator project coming our way, and it’s shaking things up in a big way. This time, the iconic alien hunter is stepping into a fresh format, bringing its deadly charm to a whole new audience.
If you’ve been keeping up with the franchise, you know it’s had its share of ups and downs, but this latest move feels like a bold step forward.
The Predator series kicked off back in 1987 with Arnold Schwarzenegger facing off against the cloaked extraterrestrial in a jungle showdown.
Since then, we’ve seen the creature stalk prey across cities, alien planets, and even centuries past in the 2022 prequel ‘Prey’. That film, directed by Dan Trachtenberg, took us to the Comanche Nation in 1719 and proved the franchise still has plenty of life left. Now, Trachtenberg is back, and he’s bringing something totally different to the table.
I’m talking about ‘Predator: Killer of Killers’, the first-ever animated Predator film. It’s set to drop on Hulu on June 6, and it’s got everyone curious about what an animated take on this classic hunter will look like.
Unlike the live-action gore-fests we’re used to, this one’s diving into animation, which opens up all kinds of wild possibilities for the story and visuals. Trachtenberg’s already shown he can rethink the Predator world with ‘Prey’, so I’m betting this will be just as creative.
This film explores multiple tales of Predators clashing with warriors across different eras—think pirates, samurai, and maybe more. That anthology vibe could give us a fresh look at the Yautja, as they’re officially called, without being tied to one time or place. Hulu’s been a solid home for Predator lately, with ‘Prey’ skipping theaters and landing straight on the platform to great reviews. Looks like they’re doubling down with this animated adventure.
If you’re wondering about the team behind it, Dan Trachtenberg’s name is a big draw. He’s got a knack for blending tension and action, and his work on ‘10 Cloverfield Lane’ showed he can handle suspense like a pro.
The Predator franchise itself has a wild history—five main films, two Alien crossovers, and now this. Each entry tweaks the formula, but the core stays the same: a deadly alien hunting for sport, and humans fighting to survive. ‘Predator: Killer of Killers’ could be the shake-up we’ve been waiting for. Mark your calendars for June 6—this hunt’s going animated, and it’s coming straight to your screen.
