The Irishman and Godfather actor stars in the Amazon’s forthcoming drama series, Hunters. The new original series hails from executive producer Jordan Peele. 

Per the official description, “The Hunters, as they’re known, have discovered that hundreds of high-ranking Nazi officials are living among us and conspiring to create a Fourth Reich in the U.S. The eclectic team of Hunters will set out on a bloody quest to bring the Nazis to justice and thwart their new genocidal plans.”

Hunters will premiere on Amazon Prime Video in 2020. Watch the teaser below.

Earlier this year, Monkeypaw Productions released Peele’s second psychological thriller, Us. The movie also received great critical acclaim and starred Lupita Nyong’o, who gave a phenomenal Oscar-worthy performance. In 2020, he will release Candyman, which will follow in the footsteps of his previous features.

But what is it that makes Jordan Peele thrillers so… horrifying? There is minimal gore and there are no ghouls or monsters. Instead, the true horror of Peele’s thrillers lies in the horrors that exist in modern society.

Peele uses horror as a tool for bringing these underlying problems to the surface. At the core of the suspense in Get Out is the looming presence of institutionalized racism and in Us, Peele uses uncanny mirroring to depict the arbitrary division of class.

Speaking with Digital Edition, Peele explained the “social thriller” characteristic of his movies: “I define “social thriller” as thriller/horror movies where the ultimate villain is society.”

He continued: “The next movies will be very different, I think, in terms of how on the nose they are. I wanna be a little more allegorical and cinematic. But at the heart of all my future movies is this idea of giving (people) something fun but addressing some sort of innately human demon we’re dealing with every day. “

This is certainly apparent in Us, where the “villains” below suffer at the hands of those above. A downward escalator signifies the “social ladder” that working-class Americans are encouraged to climb. The ladder may be there, but that doesn’t make it any easier to climb when the odds are against you.

Having recently just re-watched both Us and Get Out, I now regard Candyman as one the most anticipated movies of 2020. As a director, Peele masters suspense and horror in a way that few others can. As a writer, he highlights underlying social issues which are more horrifying than any monster in the Insidious franchise.

Josh Radnor has been tapped to star in Amazon’s 1970s-set Nazi-hunting drama. The How I Men Your Mother alum will star opposite leads Al Pacino, Logan Lerman and Jerrika Hinton. 

The original series, which is somewhat based on real-life events, hails from David Weil. The series is executive produced by Get Out writer-director Jordan Peele, who has an overall TV deal at Amazon. Weil will also serve as co-showrunner with Nikki Toscano. Alfonso Gomez-Rejon (American Horror Story) will direct the first episode.

The Hunt follows a band of Nazi hunters who have discovered that hundreds of high-ranking Nazi officials are living among them and are conspiring to create a Fourth Reich in the US. According to The Hollywood Reporter Radnor will play Lonny Flash, a movie star who is secretly a member of the group led by Pacino’s character. 

Also starring are Lena Olin, Carol Kane, Saul Rubinek, Tiffany Boone, Louis Ozawa Changchien, Greg Austin and Dylan Baker.

The trailer begins with a family going on holiday, which starts out pretty ordinary until one of the children wonders off. Following his scolding, creepy things start happening and then a mysterious masked family silently show up outside the house one night.

At this point, it looks as if the movie will be another ripoff of The Strangers, but naturally, we expect more from Peele. Our faith pays off when it is revealed that the family of strangers are in fact identical to our protagonists. The son gasps: “They’re us.”

It is not clear from the rest of the trailer why this has happened and what the impostors want. What is clear, however, is that the movie will be a terrifying psychological thriller with quite possibly more twists and turns that last year’s Oscar winning script Get Out.

Jordan Peele also won “best director” in spite of the fact that this was his first writing and directing project. For those of you who didn’t catch the movie last year, Get Out is a psychological horror story about a black man visiting his white girlfriend’s family for the first time. He begins to get the impression that something is not right and the plot quickly unfolds to reveal that something more sinister is going on in the family. The movie contains some great horror and is genuinely funny at times.

The racial commentary implicit within the undertones and at the forefront of the movie adds a deeper level to the deliberately induced discomfort we feel watching. Peele clarifies his original intentions when making the movie claiming that:

“This project didn’t start as a statement – it began as me wanting to make a film in my favorite genre… mind-bending horror.”

It really is a mind-bending horror and the low-budget thriller is certainly deserving of the award. We are looking forward to finding out whether the movie does equally as well at the Oscars.
