It is undeniable that the classic franchise is now seeing its resurgence amongst fans and the general connoisseurs of movies. According to a recent GFR report, a new Disney+Predatorseries is currently in talks. This news does not come off as a shocker, considering the popularity of the franchise has been re-established, all thanks to Trachtenberg’sPrey.
One thing to keep in mind about this speculatedPredatorseries is that the demographic it’ll target seems to be the younger, teenage audience — a choice that is quite perplexing.

Following the premise ofPrey,which is set 300 years back,where the Predator and a powerful female warrior named Naru square off in the Comanche Nation, many fans had expected to see the concept ofPredatorbe set in other eras and time periods. Some had hoped for a potentialPredatorfilm that would see itself be set in Medieval Japan, where Samurais could take on the Predator.
However, what people may have not seen coming is the franchise’s decision to aim for a series that would be teenager-centric. While this may be a confusing decision, as thePredatorfilms are known for being R-Rated, the plot details are not yet known and the series may pan out differently altogether than what people may be expecting.

Perhaps, the Dinsey+ series may involve younger characters combating the extraterrestrial species. Irrespective of how the series will tackle thePredatorpremise, fans can only hope that the legacy ofPreyis lived up to and the franchise, which has just been revived, doesn’t face another major setback. One promise of hope seems to be the way Disney+ has recently allowed for more mature projects to exist within its domain. Speculations of the series having adult themes may not be too far off reality. Only time can tell for sure.
While fans await more news on the potential Dinsey+Predatorseries,Prey, featuring Amber Midthunder, is now exclusively streaming on Hulu.
