The Amazon Prime historical drama Hunters, starring Logan Lerman and Al Pacino, receives a release date for its second and final season.
The upcoming second season of Amazon’s Hunters will be its last. Hunters features Logan Lerman and Al Pacino as Nazi hunters operating in 1970s New York. The show debuted to moderate success on Amazon in 2020 and left fans curious about what is to come after a drama-filled finale.
According to creator David Weil, who spoke to Entertainment Weekly about what’s to come in season two, fans of the series can now look forward to some answers. Weil addressed many of the cliffhangers and plotlines established in Hunters season 1 and hinted how they might be tied up when season two hits streaming on January 13th on Amazon Prime. The Hunters creator also revealed that this season would be the last, promising more shocks and intensity.
“This show is a massive risk. We always knew that. So I think you will see that same Hunters spirit, that same ferocity, that same risk taking, that same noisy, mischievous storytelling in season 2.”
How Hunters Season 2 Will Wrap Up The Show’s Storylines
The show gave viewers a taste of the major narrative risks it’s willing to take at the end of season one, with the revelation that Al Pacino’s character, a Holocaust survivor named Meyer Offerman, is an infamous Nazi known as “The Wol.”. After Jonah (the protagonist, played by Lerman) murders Meyer in an act of poetic justice, he is left to take over Meyer’s operation and lead the Nazi hunters as they continue their exploits and travails in Europe. Pacino is set to return in season two, but his appearances will be relegated to flashbacks, given that his character is now deceased.
Another major plot line that is sure to figure prominently in season two involves the most famous Nazi of all time: Adolf Hitler himself. After it was revealed in the season one finale that Hitler is still alive and living on a luxurious compound in Latin America, viewers will expect Lerman’s band of Nazi killers to take their hunt abroad. And it isn’t only Hitler: Eva Braun, his infamous wife, was also revealed to be still alive in season one, posing as the foreboding and powerful “Colonel.” How much Hitler and his wife will appear onscreen is yet to be determined, but audiences can expect that they will be dealt with by Lerman’s gang in one way or another come to the end of the show.
A New Location For The Hunters
Despite season one’s New York City basis, the meat of the second season is likely to take place in Europe. After all, it was in the season one finale that Kate Mulvaney’s character, sister Harriet, revealed the eight new Nazi targets waiting to be terminated by the hunters in Europe. It wouldn’t be hard to imagine these eight Nazis-in-hiding making up the bulk of the second season. But there’s another twist to be ironed out: Harriet was also revealed to be some kind of double agent in the finale, doing the bidding of a shady puppet-master character whose identity will likely be pinpointed in the forthcoming episodes.
Is Harriet leading the hunters into a trap in Europe? And how exactly will they discover that Hitler is still alive? The answers to these questions will likely be revealed when Hunters hits streaming in January. Until then, fans will be left to their theories.
