By Shawn Lealos
Jodan Peele has been a busy man lately and his latest television effort The Hunt is coming to Amazon Prime Video.
This week alone, Peele has released a new trailer for his upcoming YouTube Premium series Weird City and now has announced his upcoming Amazon Prime series.
Add in his stop-motion produced Wendell and Wild with Henry Selick (The Nightmare Before Christmas) for Netflix, HBO series Lovecraft Country for HBO and the reboot of The Twilight Zone for CBS All Access, and it seems like Peele has his hands in all forms of television streaming.
He also has a new movie coming out in 2019 called Us starring Lupita Nyong’o (12 Years a Slave), Winston Duke (Black Panther) and Elisabeth Moss (The West Wing).

Jordan Peele is a very busy man.
When it comes to Ther Hunt, Peele has lined up Oscar-winning legend Al Pacino in a key role for the Amazon Prime Video series.
Deadline reports that Pacino stars along with Logan Lerman (Percy Jackson franchise) in a TV series about a team of Nazi hunters. However, this isn’t a World War II movie. It takes place in 1977 when hundreds of Nazis in New York City are trying to create a Fourth Reich in the United States.
It sounds like the perfect series to hit some big-time hot buttons in today’s world. It also joins The Man in the High Castle when it comes to the themes of the stories on Amazon Prime.
Lerman is Jonah Heidelbaum, a man who sets out to find out who killed his grandmother when he finds the mysterious group called The Hunt, who roots out Nazi murderers hiding in the United States.

Amazon Prime gave The Hunt a straight-to-series order in 2018 and with Al Pacino onboard, it should start shooting soon.
