After the smashing hit of its predecessor, Prey 2 is finally confirmed to be in the works. The 2022 movie served as a prequel to the sci-fi action-horror franchise, centered on Amber Midthunder’s Naru during the early 1700s in the Great Plains as she fought to protect her tribe from the arrival of the iconic Predator.
Nearly two years after the last movie’s Hulu premiere, Deadline has brought word that Prey 2 is in the early stages of development at 20th Century Studios. Sources report that there are no talent confirmed to be returning as of yet, but that Midthunder is in talks to reprise her role of Naru for the sequel. Despite anticipation for the sequel, though, the studio is currently putting its focus on a new standalone Predator movie, Badlands, with Prey‘s Dan Trachtenberg returning to write and direct the project.

Prey
Serving as a prequel to the entire Predator series, Prey is set in the world of the Comanche Nation 300 years ago. The action-thriller follows Naru, the skilled warrior who fiercely protects her tribe against a highly evolved alien predator. The film will also reveal the origin of the Predator warrior race’s descent to Earth for the first time. Naru will have to utilize the tools of her time to combat a threat with skills and weapons that exist far beyond her time.
