Al Pacino Leads a Band of Anti-Nazi Vigilantes in First Trailer for Jordan Peele’s ‘Hunters’

By Jordan Moreau

LOS ANGELES (Variety.com) – Executive produced by Academy Award-winning director Jordan Peele and starring Al Pacino, a new teaser trailer for “Hunters” on Amazon Prime Video has dropped.

Set in New York City in 1977, the show follows a band of Nazi who have discovered hundreds of high-ranking Nazi officials are living among us and planning a Fourth Reich in the U.S. The Hunters, as they’re known, set out on a violent quest to bring the Nazis to justice and stop their genocidal plans. The trailer shows several of their members stab, shoot and blow up Nazis around town.

“There comes a time where we all must choose between the light and the darkness. But when there’s great darkness in this world, perhaps a choice is made for us,” Pacino monologues in the trailer. “For eons, people like us have been degraded and exterminated, but no more. There is evil among us and you must remember, this evil starts with but a spot inside of them. Then it grows to a stain. Then it becomes a scourge. And we can’t know such evil until it strikes. So the time to act is now before everything we hold dear to us is destroyed. This is not murder. This is mitzvah. Welcome to the hunt.”

The cast includes Logan Lerman, Jerrika Hinton, Josh Radnor, Kate Mulvany, Tiffany Boone, Greg Austin, Louis Ozawa Changchien, Carol Kane, Saul Rubinek, Dylan Baker and Lena Olin.

Created by David Weil, “Hunters” is produced by Peele’s Monkeypaw Productions and Sonar Entertainment. Weil and Nikki Toscano serve as executive producers and showrunners, and Alfonso Gomez-Rejon (“American Horror Story”) directed the pilot.

“Hunters” comes to Amazon Prime Video in 2020.
