Prey sequel still in development from Hulu
2022’s R-rated Prey movie became Hulu’s most-watched premiere out of all its titles in the U.S. Its sequel was officially confirmed earlier in 2024, but no other updates were provided.
Now with Deadline reporting that Dan Trachtenberg’s Badlands Predator movie could star Elle Fanning, the status of Prey 2 has been revealed as well. The outlet stated that Amber Midthunder is expected to return as Naru in the first movie’s 18th-century setting.
It will be the seventh solo Predator movie after 1987’s original featuring Arnold Schwarzenegger, 1990’s Predator 2, 2010’s Predators, 2018’s The Predator, 2022’s Prey, and Badlands. Fans of the franchise also got two crossovers with the Alien franchise, 2004’s Alien vs. Predator and 2007’s Aliens vs. Predator: Requiem, bringing the Predator franchise to a total of nine movies.
Directed by Dan Trachtenberg, 2022’s Prey also starred Dakota Beavers as Taabe, Michelle Thrush as Aruka, Stormee Kipp as Wasape, and Julian Black Antelope as Chief Kehetu, along with Amber Midthunder in the lead. Meanwhile, Dane DiLiegro portrayed the Predator alien.
The official synopsis of the movie reads:
“When danger threatens her camp, the fierce and highly skilled Comanche warrior Naru sets out to protect her people. But the prey she stalks turns out to be a highly evolved alien predator with a technically advanced arsenal.”
Prey 2 does not have a production window yet.
