Predators Was A Better Sequel Than The Predator

It took 23 years, but action-horror classic Predator finally got the perfect sequel. Then 8 years later, a vastly inferior film ruined everything.

A Look at the Full Predator Franchise on Hulu

With the entire Predator franchise landing on Hulu on March 1, fans will have access to every installment in the saga. Here’s a breakdown of what will be available to stream:

• Predator (1987) – The original film that started it all. Arnold Schwarzenegger leads a team of elite commandos on a mission in the Central American jungle, only to find themselves hunted by a technologically advanced alien warrior. This film is considered a genre-defining classic, blending sci-fi, horror, and action seamlessly.
• Predator 2 (1990) – Shifting the action from the jungle to the urban sprawl of Los Angeles, this sequel stars Danny Glover as a tough LAPD detective facing off against a Predator hunting in the midst of a citywide gang war.
• Predators (2010) – This installment takes the action off Earth and onto a Predator-controlled planet, where a group of skilled fighters—including Adrien Brody and Laurence Fishburne—are pitted against multiple Predators in a deadly survival game.
• The Predator (2018) – A modern sequel that expands the lore of the species and their genetic experimentation. While this film received mixed reviews, it adds another layer to the evolving mythology of the franchise.
• Prey (2022) – A critically acclaimed prequel set in 1719, following a young Comanche warrior (Amber Midthunder) as she fights to protect her tribe from one of the earliest Predators to arrive on Earth. Prey reinvigorated the franchise with a fresh perspective and stunning cinematography.

Additionally, Hulu will be streaming both crossover films:

• Aliens vs. Predator (2004) – A long-anticipated showdown between two legendary sci-fi creatures, this film sees humans caught in the middle of a battle between Xenomorphs and Predators in an ancient underground pyramid.
• Aliens vs. Predator: Requiem (2007) – A direct sequel that brings the chaos to a small town in Colorado, featuring a terrifying Predalien hybrid and intense action sequences.

Why This Streaming Release is a Big Deal for Predator Fans

Having the full Predator franchise on Hulu is significant for several reasons. First and foremost, it offers unparalleled convenience for fans who want to relive the series or introduce it to new viewers. Previously, Predator films were scattered across different streaming platforms, making it difficult to find a single place to watch them all. With Hulu now hosting the entire collection, fans can enjoy the series in one place without the hassle of switching between services.

Another reason this release is exciting is that it allows for a deeper appreciation of how the franchise has evolved. From the horror-thriller roots of the original Predator to the world-building elements introduced in later films, viewers can see how the series has grown and adapted over time. Watching the films back-to-back also highlights the shifting tones—from the action-packed survival of Predator to the more horror-leaning AVP: Requiem and the character-driven narrative of Prey.

The Future of the Predator Franchise

With the success of Prey, the Predator franchise is far from over. Director Dan Trachtenberg, who helmed Prey, has made it clear that there are more stories to be told, possibly exploring different historical periods and fresh perspectives. Additionally, recent reports suggest that multiple Predator projects are in development, which could expand the mythology even further.

Hulu’s decision to bring the full Predator catalog to its platform could also signal an investment in the franchise’s future. If the films perform well on streaming, it could increase the likelihood of sequels, spin-offs, or even a new Predator television series. Given Disney’s ownership of 20th Century Studios (which produces the Predator films), there’s potential for even bigger plans in the coming years.

For Predator fans, March 1 is a date to mark on the calendar. With Hulu offering the complete franchise, it’s the perfect time for a full series rewatch or a first-time journey into the world of these legendary alien hunters. Whether you’re in the mood for the suspenseful jungle warfare of the original Predator, the chaotic city battle of Predator 2, or the historical intensity of Prey, there’s something for every type of fan.
