Al Pacino Hunts Nazi's in First Teaser Trailer For Jordan Peele's Series HUNTERS
Amazon released the first teaser trailer for producer Jordan Peele’s upcoming action-thriller series Hunters. The series was previously titled The Hunt.
Al Pacino, Logan Lerman and Jerrika Hinton are all set to star in the series, which is described as a “Nazi-hunting vengeance drama”. The story 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.”
The Hunt was created by David Weil (Moonfall), and he is writing the series. This is an original idea and while it is a fictional story, it does draw from real-life events. It looks like it’s going to be a great show! While the trailer is short, it packs an energized and thrilling punch.
