The Predator fights the greatest warriors across human history in a gloriously fun streaming treat co-directed by "Prey" mastermind Dan Trachtenberg.

Predator: Killer of Killers was released on June 6, 2025, on Hulu. The anthology film is in the science fiction, animation, and horror genres, and it's the eighth entry in the Predator franchise.

Predator: Killer of Killers co-directors Dan Trachtenberg and Josh Wassung address the Alien vs. Predator speculation and the animated anthology's unexpected connection to 2022's Prey. Spoilers

“The Sword,” taking place in feudal Japan, focuses on the fierce rivalry between two brothers that becomes a fight to the death after their father’s demise. When a Predator shows up, they overcome their hostility to join forces against it.

Prey’ director Dan Trachtenberg travels through history with the ruthless aliens, bringing a stylized aesthetic to the impressive action set-pieces.

While Trachtenberg is obviously drawing heavily on his own Predator franchise fandom, we weren’t expecting to talk to him about Killer of Killers and find out that one of the movies most on his mind in conceiving the animated project was Christopher Guest’s 2000 ensemble comedy Best in Show.
