Meet Al Pacino's merry band of Nazi hunters in the trailer for Amazon's Hunters
Aux Features Coming Distractions
Following the ominous, seven-word teaser that dropped earlier this month, Amazon has offered a deeper look at Hunters, a Jordan Peele-produced action series about New York Nazi hunters in 1977. Al Pacino narrates the clip, warning of an “evil among us” that begins as a “spot” but grows into a “scourge.” The time to act, he says, is now.
The trailer ends with a look at the newest recruits of “The Hunt,” with Logan Lerman, Carol Kane, Kate Mulvany, and Saul Rubinek stepping up as the team who discovers “a far-reaching conspiracy and must race against time to thwart the Nazis’ new genocidal plans,” per a synopsis.
The clip’s bloody glimpses are also flooded with flashes of MAGA hat red, which we doubt was a coincidence. Also of note: Character actor extraordinaire Dylan Baker looking downright manic in a “Kiss the Cook” apron.
Watch the trailer below.
Hunters doesn’t have a premiere date yet, but it’s set to debut sometime in 2020.

“This is not murder, this is mitzvah.”My new favorite catch-phrase.
“You just got mitzvahed in the face!”
Spoiler: Turns out they just had to go down to Cape Canaveral, where the Nazis were all working for NASA.
And the CIA. ESPECIALLY the CIA.
“a far-reaching conspiracy and must race against time to thwart the Nazis’ new genocidal plans,”The planning board they discover stretches all the way to the 2016 presidential election.
Based on the presence of Artie and the backdrop, are we sure this isn’t just a very special episode of Warehouse 13?
So they run around killing a bunch of frail 90+ year old men? Sounds great. They should have set it in 1960.
What? New York Nazi hunters in 1977.Most Nazis by that point would have been in their late 50’s-60’s.
Ah, still. 60 year old’s aren’t that agile.
You’d think so, but my wife is still like a greased pig after I turn off the lights. “You’ll never catch me!” she cackles. She still blames me for all our children. After she rushes out the door I shout “It takes two, {name redacted}! It takes two!” to her as she sprints out in to the night, down the street in her nightie.
Oh god, I love you. Also, I inserted the name “Margery.” ehehehe
Neither were the millions of Jews murdered by the Nazis. Wasn’t an equal fight then. A ‘70s film is likely to contain Jewish characters with a direct connection to the war. If a few Nazis go down, an excellent outcome.
Relax Kelly, we all know how the story really ended.
Oh, ok… so let’s let them live their lives out in peace. After all, they made it this far? … Dude. Stop typing.
They should have set it in 2019. Plenty of young Nazis.
Oh, it’s ON Amazon.I thought they’d be hunting Nazis IN the Amazon, which I frankly think is more interesting.
And historically accurate!
What happened to Pacino’s Cuban accent?
Man, I remember thinking Nazi villains had become old hat, and didn’t get why Hot Topic had “Nazi Punks Fuck Off” buttons. What a summer child I was
Tom Morello agrees and Bethesda can share their somewhat recent experiences. Oh what fun times.
Love it.
Saul Rubinek AND Dylan Baker? It’s like a great character actor smorgasbord!
I’m usually really good at not letting feelings regarding an actor’s prior role color their most recent, but, damn, “Happiness” just about put me off Dylan Baker forever.
Anything with Rubinek. Done deal.
I hope this turns out good, Josh Radnor needs a win for his post-HIMYM career.
