Predator: Killer of Killers brings animated action to Hulu this June
20th Century Studios' animated film Predator: Killer of Killers premieres June 6, 2025, exclusively on Hulu.
Directed by Dan Trachtenberg (Prey), with Josh Wassung of The Third Floor serving as co-director, Predator: Killer of Killers explores three brutal time periods through an anthology-style narrative. Written by Micho Robert Rutare, the story follows a Viking raider seeking vengeance alongside her son, a ninja in feudal Japan battling his samurai brother, and a WWII fighter pilot investigating a mysterious airborne threat.
While each warrior is deadly in their own right, they all become prey to the ultimate enemy: the Predator—an extraterrestrial hunter known as the 'killer of killers.'
The film is produced by John Davis, Dan Trachtenberg, Marc Toberoff, and Ben Rosenblatt, with executive producers including Lawrence Gordon, James E. Thomas, John C. Thomas, and Stefan Grube.
Predator: Killer of Killers builds on the success of 2022's Prey and aims to expand the Predator franchise into bold new creative territory through animation. By blending historical action, sci-fi, and horror with stylized animation, the film offers a fresh take on the legendary Predator mythology.
With high-caliber talent behind the project and an exclusive Hulu release, Predator: Killer of Killers is positioned to be a standout streaming event for fans of action, animation, and the Predator legacy.

Predator Killer of Killers expands franchise with time-traveling animated carnage
Dan Trachtenberg, known for Prey, returns to the Predator franchise with Killer of Killers, a blood-soaked animated anthology spanning centuries. Directed by Trachtenberg and Joshua Wassung, and written by Micho Robert Rutare, the R-rated film unfolds across three time periods, blending stylized action with heavy doses of gore. Part of a growing trend to animate mature franchises, Killer of Killers joins the ranks of The Lord of the Rings: The War of the Rohirrim, Netflix's Terminator Zero, and Disney's Star Wars: Visions. These projects aim to captivate adult audiences with bold storytelling and graphic visual styles. This latest Predator installment leans into the violence while using animation to stylize its brutality, making the carnage palatable while still intense. The first chapter introduces Ursa (Lindsay LaVanchy), a 9th-century Viking warrior haunted by trauma. When a Predator arrives, she shifts from vengeance to survival, protecting her son Anders (Damien Haas) in a battle of brawn and cunning. The second story, set in 17th-century Japan, follows two estranged samurai brothers whose long-standing feud is interrupted by a new enemy—one that forces them to put their blades and grievances to use together. Here, green Predator blood and elegant choreography heighten the tension. The final section brings viewers to World War II, where Torres (Rick Gonzalez), a Latino mechanic with pilot dreams, takes flight in a thrilling aerial showdown after a Predator wipes out his squadron. The trio ultimately joins forces for a gladiator-style final act, blending weapons and strategies from their respective eras. As with Prey, Trachtenberg's latest effort emphasizes gender and racial diversity while pushing genre boundaries.
