Good news, Predator fans: soon you can double-feature 2025\u2019s live-action Predator: Badlands<\/a> with 2025\u2019s straight-to-Hulu Predator: Killer of Killers<\/a>, when the former joins the latter on the streamer.<\/p>\n

In fact, you can stream the whole Predator family on Hulu and Hulu on Disney+, including the 1987 original and 2022\u2019s Prey<\/a>, though you\u2019re allowed to forget 2018\u2019s lackluster The Predator exists if you want.<\/p>\n

Fortunately, there\u2019s nothing lackluster about Dan Trachtenberg\u2019s Predator: Badlands, which introduces new characters (Dimitrius Schuster-Koloamatangi\u2019s Dek and Elle Fanning\u2019s Thia), a new setting on an alien planet, and the wild concept of making a Predator\u2014traditionally a brutal bad guy\u2014the heroic center of the story.<\/p>\n

The concept clicked with critics and moviegoers alike, and Predator:\u00a0Badlands now stands as the highest-grossing Predator movie to date. Hulu and Disney+ are capitalizing on its popularity by adding 15 \u201cPredator-themed creator videos\u201d to their libraries, if you want to venture beyond the boundaries of Hollywood and stream some fan-made Predator content.<\/p>\n

Hulu released a new trailer to hype the streaming release:<\/p>\n

Predator: Badlands has been available to rent or buy on digital since early January<\/a>, but it hits Hulu and Hulu on Disney+ starting February 12. Physical media fans can pick it up on Blu-ray and UHD on February 17; there\u2019s also a vinyl soundtrack release<\/a> coming soon.<\/p>\n
