If you love the 1987 action/horror classic Predator, there's some very good news. While the next live action movie, Predator: Badlands, won't hit theaters until November 7, this week, there's another new Predator movie sneakily coming to streaming.

Directed by Dan Trachtenberg, the same guy who brought us Prey in 2022, a new animated movie called Predator: Killer of Killers is hitting Hulu this Friday.

Here's what to know about the plot, the trailers, and when to stream the newest Predator romp.

Predator: Killer of Killers Release Date

Predator: Killer of Killers will hit Hulu on Friday, June 5, 2025. If you have Disney+ with a Hulu add-on, you can stream it that way, too.

Predator: Killer of Killers Trailers

There have been two major trailers for Killer of Killers, one that reveals the basic premise of the movie, and another, a behind-the-scenes video detailing how this animated movie tries to take striking concept art and bring it to life.

Unlike other Predator movies, Killer of Killers is an anthology concept, meaning the roughly 90-minute film has three sections, each depicting people battling Predators in different historical periods. The movie starts with ancient Vikings, moves to feudal Japan, and eventually, depicts Predators attacking WWII fighter planes.

There is a method to this madness, though. All three stories are linked, and by the end of the movie, you'll see why.

Is Killers of Killers a Sequel to Prey?

If the concept of Predators battling humans in historical settings sounds familiar, it should. In 2022, Trachtenberg's film Prey depicted a Comanche woman named Naru (Amber Midthunder) battling a Predator in 1719. The vibe of Killer of Killers very much follows the mood of Prey, and if you're paying attention, there's even some pretty big Easter eggs connected to that movie.

Presumably, all of this is setting up the next big movie, Predator: Badlands. Starring Elle Fanning, that sci-fi action flick hits theaters on November 7.
