Predator: Badlands Hits Theaters in Latin America Today, U.S. and Spain Friday

Dan Trachtenberg expands the series off‑world, centering a Yautja protagonist alongside a Weyland‑Yutani synthetic.

Overview

  • The film opens November 6 across most of Latin America, with U.S. and Spain releases on November 7 in a theatrical‑only window.
  • Set on the remote planet Genna in a far future, the story follows Dek, a young exiled Yautja, who forms an unlikely alliance with Thia, a Weyland‑Yutani synthetic.
  • This entry is the first in the franchise to place a Predator in the lead role, arriving as the seventh film in the main series and the ninth overall.
  • A brief post‑credits scene is included, so audiences should stay through the credits to catch it.
  • Principal photography took place in New Zealand from late August to late October 2024 under the working title Backpack, and the Disney/20th Century release is expected to stream on Disney+ and Hulu around mid‑to‑late January 2026, pending official confirmation.
