New To TV: Hunters

From executive producer Jordan Peele comes Amazon Prime’s new series, Hunters, which sees Al Pacino and Logan Lerman star in the lead roles.

Hunters follows a diverse band of Nazi hunters living in 1977 New York City. The Hunters, as they’re known, have discovered that hundreds of high-ranking Nazi officials are living among us and conspiring to create a Fourth Reich in the U.S. The eclectic team of Hunters will set out on a bloody quest to bring the Nazis to justice and thwart their new genocidal plans.

The series sees Al Pacino (The Godfather) star as Meyer Offerman, the mastermind of the mysterious Nazi-assailing group, the Hunters, while co-lead Logan Lerman (Percy Jackson) plays Jonah Heidelbaum. His character is thrust into the world of Nazi hunting under the tutelage of Meyer after his grandmother is killed by a mysterious intruder in their apartment.
