According to creator David Weil, who spoke to Entertainment Weekly about what's to come in season two, fans of the series can now look forward to some answers. Weil addressed many of the cliffhangers and plotlines established in Hunters (2020) season 1 and hinted how they might be tied up when season two hits streaming on January 13th on Amazon Prime. The Hunters (2020) creator also revealed that this season would be the last, promising more shocks and intensity.
The show gave viewers a taste of the major narrative risks it's willing to take at the end of season one, with the revelation that Al Pacino's character, a Holocaust survivor named Meyer Offerman, is an infamous Nazi known as "The Wol.". After Jonah (the protagonist, played by Lerman) murders Meyer in an act of poetic justice, he is left to take over Meyer's operation and lead the Nazi hunters as they continue their exploits and travails in Europe. Pacino is set to return in season two, but his appearances will be relegated to flashbacks, given that his character is now deceased.
Despite season one's New York City basis, the meat of the second season is likely to take place in Europe. After all, it was in the season one finale that Kate Mulvaney's character, sister Harriet, revealed the eight new Nazi targets waiting to be terminated by the hunters in Europe. It wouldn't be hard to imagine these eight Nazis-in-hiding making up the bulk of the second season. But there's another twist to be ironed out: Harriet was also revealed to be some kind of double agent in the finale, doing the bidding of a shady puppet-master character whose identity will likely be pinpointed in the forthcoming episodes.
Is Harriet leading the hunters into a trap in Europe? And how exactly will they discover that Hitler is still alive? The answers to these questions will likely be revealed when Hunters (2020) hits streaming in January. Until then, fans will be left to their theories.
