First Reactions Drop for PREDATOR: KILLER OF KILLERS and It Sounds Like a Winner!

There was recently an early screening of director Dan Trachtenberg’s new animated Predator anthology seriesPredator: Killer of Killers, and those who attended loved what it delivered!

The animated series was described as “Compelling,” “Violent,” “Full of vicious kills,” “Badass incarnate,” and it’s said to be “made by Predator fans for Predator fans.” I can’t wait to see the series for myself! I’m excited about this thing!

Predator: Killer of Killers is a three-part anthology that puts the focus in Yautja warriors hunting human prey across world history.

The anthology story follows “three of the fiercest warriors in human history: a Viking raider guiding her young son on a bloody quest for revenge, a ninja in feudal Japan who turns against his Samurai brother in a brutal battle for succession, and a WWII pilot who takes to the sky to investigate an otherworldly threat to the Allied cause.

“But while all these warriors are killers in their own right, they are merely prey for their new opponent – the ultimate killer of killers.”

The voice cast includes Lindsay LaVanchy, Louis Ozawa, Rick Gonzalez, and Michael Biehn.

Trachtenberg co-directed this project alongside Josh Wassung while on location for Predator: Badlands. He said: “We were writing the script for [Killer of Killers] while we were prevising stuff on [Badlands], and then [once on location] in New Zealand, on the way to shoot [Badlands], we would remote with everyone back here and [watch footage] thanks to Starlink.” 

It’s set to premiere as a Hulu exclusive on June 6th, 2025. Check out the reactions below!

Psyched to say that #PredatorKillerOfKillers is the best PREDATOR movie, well, since PREY. Gorgeously animated, incredibly visceral action sequences, an ingenious structure for an anthology, and a fantastic expansion of the Yautja hunting grounds. This series is in GREAT hands. pic.twitter.com/u0r8GSulmD

I had the chance to see #PredatorKillerOfKillers early and feel like I just got off a 90 minute roller coaster. Another triumph by @DannyTRS, brought to life with gorgeous painterly animation by @TheThirdFloor. Can’t wait to see what they do next. pic.twitter.com/o7l3oXA95a

Building on the unique approach that Prey brought to the world of Predator, #PredatorKillerofKillers takes audiences on a journey throughout history. Vikings, feudal Japan and World War II, this anthology plays out with three distinct Predator encounters, each acting as its own… pic.twitter.com/PXA0Hmaw8W
