Amazon Prime’s Hunters Season 2 will feature Oscar-nominated Jennifer Jason Leigh in a new legendary Nazi hunter look. Well, Leigh has been known for her exceptional acting skills, and it would be fascinating to see her in such an iconic role. Hunters ended with a huge twist where everyone bawls during the major character’s death. Not only it left fans in a fragile position, but the survival of two real-life Nazis made fans clamor for more.
Hunters, created by David Well, is a period drama on Amazon Prime. The series took place in 1977, and it’s loosely based on the real-life Nazi hunters over the decades. It centered on the diverse ally of Nazi hunters in 1977 New York City. During their stay in New York, they discovered that many Nazi war criminals plan to form a Fourth Reich in the United States. Meanwhile, the US government has some other plans to follow.
Hunters Season 2: Who Will Join The Cast?
Deadline recently broke the news that Leigh would join the second season of Hunters. She will play the plum role of Chava Apfelbaum. Though the role isn’t brand new, as the young actress, Cassidy Layton appeared as Chava in the series pilot “In The Belly Of The Whale.” However, she appeared for a small part. And it seems the show is looking to expand Chava’s story in the upcoming season.
As per the reports, Chava is a Holocaust survivor and also deemed as a legendary Nazi hunter who will help Jonah Heidelbaum in the mission. Besides her, Logan Lerman as Jonah Heidelbaum, will return in a prominent role. It’s unclear whether Oscar winner Al Pacino as Meyer Offerman will return. But most likely, Al Pacino’s Meyer would return in the form of flashbacks or dream sequences. Jerrika Hinton will definitely return as investigator Millie Morris.
Hunters Season 2: What Will Happen Next?
Considering what happened in the final moments, we can expect that the upcoming season would focus on the clashes between Millie’s task force and Jonah’s Hunters. Further, Chava will appear as an asset who can help Jonah to sneak the information about the Nazis living close to them. Meanwhile, Sister Harriet and her loyalty will play a part in the second season. We can also expect more of Adolf Hitler in the upcoming season.
Further, the executive producer Nikki Toscano said in an interview that the upcoming season would count as a soul searching. Joe’s (Louis Ozama) real motives will explore how Nazis will use him as a key destruction tool. Furthermore, the survival of two Nazis might impact hunters. Though the second season’s storyline kept under wraps yet, we can expect these questions would resolve in the future.
Hunters Season 2: When To Expect?
The series got renewed for the second season last August. But due to the ongoing crisis, the production stayed on hold. As of now, we haven’t learned when production for the upcoming season would begin. So, it’s pretty early to guess the release date. But we can expect Hunters Season 2 would air later this year or early 2022.
