“Predator: Killer of Killers” is a bunch of bloody, action-filled animated stories in one neat, 90-minute package.

Overview

  • Dan Trachtenberg co-wrote and directed the three-part anthology, which premiered June 6 on Hulu.
  • Each 25-minute segment pits the Predator against a Viking raider, a Japanese nobleman turned ninja, and a World War II pilot in brief, violent showdowns.
  • The production was animated entirely in Unreal Engine with creative contributions from Arcane’s lead animators and thematic nods to the anime classic Akira.
  • Critics praised its concentrated action but criticized the thinly drawn characters, leading to middling reviews around 6/10.
  • Predator: Killer of Killers was developed alongside the live-action sequel Predator: Badlands, which is scheduled for theatrical release November 7, 2025.
