Say \u201cPredator period piece\u201d three times fast \u2014 or say it slow, because that\u2019s what Predator: Killer of Killers<\/em> is. A three-episode animated miniseries from the director of Prey<\/em>, featuring Predator attacks in three different periods of humanity\u2019s past. A newly released trailer for the show has all the gore, ominous de-cloaking, and weird clicking sounds you could want from the franchise.<\/p>\n

The series \u2014 which takes place in historical Japan, in Scandinavia, and during aerial combat of World War II \u2014 was written and co-directed by Dan Trachtenberg while he was <\/em>concurrently in production<\/a> on his Prey<\/em> sequel, Predator: Badlands<\/em>. Trachtenberg teased that he was working on a non-live-action Predator project<\/a> in October of 2024, but at the time it was assumed to be a movie \u2014 not an anthology.<\/p>\n

But while Badlands<\/em> takes the franchise into the future, set on a remote planet and following a young woman (Elle Fanning) finding an unlikely ally in an outcast Predator alien, Killer of Killers<\/em> has Trachtenberg exercising the same compelling hook that he delivered on so skillfully in Prey<\/em>: the universe\u2019s ultimate alien hunters going blade to blade with historic human warriors.<\/p>\n

Predator: Killer of Killers will premiere on Hulu on June 6. <\/em>Predator: Badlands will hit theaters on Nov. 7<\/em>.<\/p>\n
