Prey, the Predator franchise prequel, debuted in 2022 to critical and commercial acclaim. The film set several records on multiple streaming platforms, including the most-watched premiere, across both feature films and television series, in the United States on Hulu. It was also the most-watched program across all streaming platforms in the week of August 12, 2022. Despite this success, 20th Century Fox hasn't officially greenlit a sequel.
In what will be welcome news to fans of the movie, Prey star Amber Midthunder has hinted that a sequel is on the way. During a recent interview with Variety on the red carpet of the Bafta Tea Party, the actress was asked for updates on a sequel. In her response, she expressed her interest in reprising her role as Naru. She also stated, "I don't have a date for you. This is not an announcement, but I'm not saying it is not. We talk all the time about a lot of things and that's probably one. I'm ready. I loved that experience. I love that movie. And I would be happy to, you know, see where else we can take it."
Before Prey's debut, director Dan Trachtenberg had revealed that he was in conversations with 20th Century Studios to develop more installments in the Predator franchise. While there was no indication the installments will include a Prey sequel, the film's streaming numbers and rave reviews have made it a matter of when, and not if, it will happen.
