STORY
CAST
- 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, a Polish-Jewish philanthropist and Holocaust survivor who 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.” Creator David Weil, who created Hunters because his grandparents were both Holocaust survivors, describing writing Meyer as “me meeting my grandfather for the first time, and that was a really beautiful and kind of powerful thing.”
- 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. In studying the role as well as the nature of the FBI in the 1970s, she had conversations with a black woman who was an FBI agent in the 1970s like Millie, named Jerri Williams, which, in Hinton’s words, were “monumentally helpful.”
- Saul Rubinek as Murray Markowitz (season 1), Mindy’s husband and the Hunters’ electronics expert; a German-Jewish Holocaust survivor.
- Carol Kane as Mindy Markowitz, Murray’s wife and the Hunters’ signals expert; a German-Jewish Holocaust survivor.
- Josh Radnor as Lonny Flash, an actor and master of disguises for the Hunters.
- Greg Austin as Travis Leich, an American Neo-Nazi acolyte drawn into the Fourth Reich. Austin chose the role after doing many prior ones very close to his empathetic real-life personality, and wanting to challenge himself playing the opposite of that; he studied psychopathic characters in various television series, as well as the real-life Ted Bundy, for his role.
- Tiffany Boone as Roxy Jones, a member of the Hunters who specializes in counterfeiting and forgery.
- Louis Ozawa as Joe Mizushima, a Vietnam War veteran and the Hunters’ combat expert. He turns against the Hunters in Season 2 after being kidnapped by The Colonel.
- Kate Mulvany as Sister Harriet, a former MI6 operative who now works with the Hunters; a former German-Jewish child refugee named Rebecca.
- Dylan Baker as Biff Simpson, an Undersecretary of State in the Carter administration and secretly an undercover Nazi agent. (season 1, guest season 2)
- Jennifer Jason Leigh (season 2) as Chava “Ima” Apfelbaum, a Jewish Nazi hunter, Ruth’s sister and Jonah’s great-aunt.
- Udo Kier (season 2; stand-in guest season 1) as Adolf Hitler, the former Führer of the Third Reich, who faked his death, and mastermind of the Fourth Reich.
- Emily Rudd (season 2) as Clara, Jonah’s fiancée.
PRODUCTION
Development
I think as a young Jewish kid growing up on Long Island in New York, there are feelings of wanting to be powerful. You rarely see Jews depicted as superheroes; as having might and strength. They’re often nebbishes or Woody Allen or very intellectual. But to have the power to reclaim your place and get justice for your ancestors is definitely a wish fulfillment. And that’s what Hunters became.
— Hunters creator David Weil in an interview with Digital Spy
Creator David Weil’s inspiration for Hunters was bedtime stories of World War II experiences told by his grandmother Sarah, who was a survivor of the Auschwitz camp Birkenau; the stories had a long-lasting impact on David because they were about “great good vs. terrifying evil” and had themes of “hope, courage and survival,” elements he also noticed in comic book superhero stories he would read. Additional reasons for creating the show were a “lack of Jewish superheroes” in film and television, citing examples of films about Nazi Germany like Inglourious Basterds (2009) and Schindler’s List (1993) having non-Jewish protagonists, and a desire to expose “hidden truths” and to help those “who’ve always felt persecuted, who linger with trauma and injustice” in response to “rising anti-Semistism, racism, xenophobia.”
Despite the attachment of Get Out director Jordan Peele and Weil having an “80-page bible” of the show written, most buyers were wary of the project and refused to purchase it; the creator suggested that it was due to the series’ premise of “a diverse band of ‘others’ kind of rising up and trying to reclaim power in some way” not being typical in mainstream entertainment. Amazon Studios head Jen Salke bought the series. Nikki Toscano joined as producer for its ambitious concept: “I think that the juxtaposition of the 1970s New York City with the Holocaust, with some of the levity and the humour, was certainly a challenge for us to balance throughout. But it was a challenge that I thought was an obstacle worth trying to get over.”
On May 17, 2018, it was announced that Amazon Video had given the production a straight-to-series order for a first season consisting of ten episodes. Weil was set to executive produce alongside Jordan Peele, Tom Lesinski, Jenna Santoianni, and Win Rosenfeld. Weil was also expected to write for the series as well. Production companies involved with the series were slated to consist of Monkeypaw Productions and Sonar Entertainment. On August 7, 2018, it was announced that Nikki Toscano had joined the production as an executive producer and would also serve as co-showrunner alongside Weil. On August 3, 2020, Amazon renewed the series for a second and final season which was released on January 13, 2023.
