Here's your first look at Jordan Peele and Al Pacino's Nazi-hunting show, Hunters
Aux Features Coming Distractions
There’s only seven words in the first teaser for Amazon’s Hunters—previously titled The Hunt, but changed for obvious reasons—but they speak volumes. “It’s not murder,” intones a shaggy, accented Al Pacino. “It’s mitzvah.”
As we’ve previously reported, the series, which is produced by Jordan Peele’s Monkeypaw Productions and Sonar Entertainment, chronicles a band of Nazi hunters in New York City in 1977. “The Hunters, as they’re known, have discovered that hundreds of high-ranking Nazi officials are living among us and conspiring to create a Fourth Reich in the U.S.,” reads a synopsis. “The eclectic team of Hunters will set out on a bloody quest to bring the Nazis to justice and thwart their new genocidal plans.”
The stacked cast includes not just Pacino, but also Logan Lerman, Jerrika Hinton, Josh Radnor, Kate Mulvany, Carol Kane, Saul Rubinek, and Dylan Baker. David Weill (Moonfall) and Nikki Toscano (24: Legacy) serve as showrunners on the series, which, per the teaser, will debut in 2020.

In the last episode Josh Radnor will marry Eva Braun, but after she dies we’ll learn he was secretly in love with Leni Riefenstahl the whole time…..
Baby Nazis are so cute.
That would explain how Baby Hitler has survived all the time travel.
I hope they let Dylan Baker behave like a psycho for once. He always gets stuck being the level-headed one. So start him out as the seeming voice of reason, only to reveal he goes violently berserk when confronted with finding an actual Nazi.
On the other hand, Happiness.
I don’t know why, but I have a sudden craving for a tuna salad sandwich!
TOO SOON!
Ah, haven’t seen that one. Does it let Dylan off the chain a bit?
Just watch it
It’s always looked great and Macy is a long-time favorite, my TV depth chart has just been too crowded. I’ll check it out.
…Yes….A bit.
Have you seen The Good Wife? He’s pretty psycho.
But in such a charming way!
Trick ‘r Treat!
I think my enjoyment of this will hinge on if this is good Pacino or scenery chewing Pacino. I’m not sure which based on the trailer because while he seems uncharacteristically sedate, he’s also got a heavy accent which is never a good sign.
Is it safe?
So this is fiction? Like Tarentino’s Inglorious Basterds?
Is Saul Rubinek going to be one of the hunters or one of the Nazis?
“. . . stacked cast includes . . .”I’ve never heard of any of these motherfuckers before in my life.
Right? “Al Pacino”? Come on, that’s not even a realistic name.
…but also Logan Lerman, Jerrika Hinton, Josh Radnor, Kate Mulvany, Carol Kane, Saul Rubinek, and Dylan Baker. Who, who,who, who, who, who and who? Let’s be fair… they did say stacked didn’t they? One single, very famous star (Pacino) does not make for a stacked cast.
I was joking, not making any sort of point. Just ‘aving a giggle. (although I will go to bat for Carol Kane’s recognizability, she’s not AAA-list, but she’s definitely not nobody, either)
S’all good. Gotta admit though that Coral Kane’s name just didn’t register for some reason but it is now. Her I recognize and yeah, maybe she’s not AAA but she’s a veteran for sure. Hell, I’m admittedly interested with just Pacino.

I always get an extra shot of espresso in my alpaccino.
I hope Carol Kane gets to play the wacky neighbor.
The ghost of Nazi hunting present.
sure Al Pacino can hunt nazis and he gets a tv show but when I do it the FBI shows up and the DA charges me with crimes and dirty liberals call me a “vigilante” and “part of a violent gang”
Ah, another nigger pulling the Jew bullshit cart. just grand.
This sounds bad. Like, insensitive bad.
Is there a scene where an affable but racist Bradley Whitford says he would have voted for Hitler a second time if he could?
