New Release: “Predator: Badlands” Premieres on Hulu Next Week

Exciting news for Predator fans! In the not-so-distant future, you’ll have the opportunity to enjoy both 2025’s live-action “Predator: Badlands” and 2025’s straight-to-Hulu “Predator: Killer of Killers” in a double feature when the former makes its way to the streaming platform. And that’s not all – you can now dive into the entire Predator franchise on Hulu, with additional access on Disney+, from the original 1987 film to the latest installment in 2022, “Predator: Prey.” If you’re not a fan of the 2018 release “The Predator,” no worries – just pretend it never happened!

But let’s talk about the real star of the show here. Directed by Dan Trachtenberg, “Predator: Badlands” brings us fresh faces like Dimitrius Schuster-Koloamatangi’s character Dek and Elle Fanning as Thia, set in an intriguing new location on an alien planet. This installment flips the script by putting the Predator, typically known as the villain, at the heroic center of the story.

This innovative approach has struck a chord with both critics and fans, making “Predator: Badlands” the highest-grossing Predator movie in history. Eager to ride the wave of its success, Hulu and Disney+ have added 15 “Predator-themed creator videos” to their content lineup. If you’re feeling adventurous, step outside Hollywood’s boundaries and check out some of the fan-created Predator content available for streaming.
