Hulu unveils the first Prey trailer revealing an August release date for the next installment in the Predator franchise and its prequel setting. The new sci-fi action film will shift the focus back to the 1700s and center on Naru, a Comanche warrior who finds herself pitted against a Predator visiting Earth and must rise up against traditions to protect her tribe from the alien threat. Legion star Amber Midthunder is leading the cast of Prey as Naru alongside Dane DiLiegro and Dakota Beavers.
Development on Prey first began in secret while Shane Black's The Predator was in production with 10 Cloverfield Lane director Dan Trachtenberg approaching franchise producer John Davis with the idea for a new story with a writer. Production kicked off on the film in early 2021 under the code name Skulls, which was originally intended to keep the film's Predator ties a secret until its release, and would wrap in September the same year. With Prey set for a Summer 2022 release, audiences are finally getting the first glimpse at what's to come from the next Predator outing.
