Hunters

Hunters is an American conspiracy drama television series created by David Weil. It premiered on February 21, 2020, on Amazon Prime Video. In August 2020, the series was renewed for a second and final season which premiered on January 13, 2023. Premise The series' characters draw from a number of real Nazi hunters through the decades, but are not meant to be a specific representation of any of them. It follows a diverse band of Nazi hunters living in 1977 New York City who discover that numerous escaped Nazi officers are conspiring to create a Fourth Reich in the United States. A parallel plot element is the discovery of Operation Paperclip, the U.S. government operation relocating German scientists (many of them Nazis) to the U.S. Cast and characters Main Logan Lerman as Jonah Heidelbaum, a young mathematics genius who takes his grandmother's place among the Hunters. Lerman joined the project due to the involvements of Jordan Peele, Alfonso Gomez-Rejon, David Weil, and Nikki Toscano, and the series' moral dilemma of being bad to fight evil. Al Pacino as Meyer Offerman / Wilhelm Zuchs, a Nazi who evaded arrest by murdering a Polish-Jewish Holocaust survivor named Meyer Offerman, then undergoing plastic surgery to resemble him so Zuchs could steal his identity. It is under this stolen identity that Zuchs, who has amassed great wealth and became a philanthropist, recruits and leads the Hunters. It is Pacino's first-ever TV series lead role; said the long-time actor, "I missed out on some great television offers I had in the past because the whole thing was: 'You don't do television.' That's what the advisors would say early on. I'm talking 30 years ago." Lena Olin as Eva Braun-Hitler / The Colonel, leader of the Fourth Reich and Hitler's wife. Jerrika Hinton as Millie Morris, an FBI agent who stumbles onto the Fourth Reich and the Hunters during a murder investigation. Hinton focused the most on the character's overwhelming faith on powerful institutions meant to protect citizens, such as the FBI.
