Since the franchise’s 1987 debut, there’ve been six films starring the deadly extra-terrestrials. They’ve eviscerated ex-Vietnam vets, caused havoc in downtown LA, and taken on xenomorphs in the Antarctic. Now director Dan Trachtenberg brings the Predator to the native American tribe of Comanche , with the intergalactic hunter battling a fearless warrior circa 1700. Below we explain how to watch Prey online, available with the great valueHulu-Disney Plus-ESPN Plus bundlein the US.

Cast:Amber Midthunder, Dakota Beavers, Dane DiLiegro, Stormee Kipp, Michelle Thrush, Julian Black Antelope

The predators’ long history of hunting humans was alluded to back in the 1990 sequel, when Danny Glover’s character received a pistol engraved “1715” after vanquishing an alien clan member. Finally, Prey explores this fascinating element of the franchise: setting up a Battle Royale between a predator and the Comanche tribe caught in its laser beamed sights around 1719.
Writer Patrick Aison and director Trachtenberg (10 Cloverfield Lane) foster an authentic depiction of time, place, and Comanche culture, which includes hiring actors almost exclusively Native American or of Indigenous heritage.
Amber Midsummer (Legion, Roswell, New Mexico) plays Naru, a young woman determined to prove herself a fierce warrior and capable hunter, alongside Dakota Beavers, Julian Black Antelope, and Dane DiLiegro as the hulking predator itself.
Breathlessly action-packed and gleefully gory, Prey promises to be the best Predator movie since the first. So, read on below for our guide explaining how to watch Prey online where you are.
