Key details about Predator: 'Killers of killers'
Directed by Dan Trachtenberg, who took the helm of the Predator franchise with the 2022 Hulu hit Prey, Killer of Killers is an anthology that follows three legendary warriors from history: a Viking raider leading her son on a vengeful mission, a ninja in feudal Japan betraying his Samurai brother in a brutal battle for power, and a WWII pilot investigating a mysterious threat to the Allies. While these warriors are formidable, they become prey for a new, superior opponent — the ultimate killer of killers.
The project was co-directed by Josh Wassung from animation company The Third Floor. The script, written by Micho Robert Rutare, is based on a story developed with Trachtenberg and inspired by characters created by Jim Thomas and John Thomas. Produced by John Davis, Trachtenberg, Marc Toberoff, and Ben Rosenblatt, with Lawrence Gordon, James E. Thomas, John C. Thomas, and Stefan Grube serving as executive producers.
