'Hunters': Release date, plot, cast, trailer, and everything else about the drama series led by Al Pacino
We finally have a new project from Jordan Peele!
After the absolute mind-boggling roller-coaster rides that his last two films 'Get Out' and 'Us' have been, we cannot wait for his next project to hit the screens.
An original idea drawing inspiration from real historical events, 'Hunters' is a story about a group identifying themselves as The Hunters and their quest to bring the remaining, underground Nazis in New York City to justice. And the premise for the series is not its only selling point! The Amazon Prime series features a star-studded cast as well.
