How to watch Predator: Killer of Killers in New Zealand

It’s a blood-soaked romp through history with our happy hunting pals, the Predators.

Never in a million years did I ever think I’d type the phrase “Disney’s doing a Predator cartoon,” but here we are. Strange times.

How to watch Predator: Killer of Killers in New Zealand

Predator: Killer of Killers is streaming in New Zealand exclusively on Disney+ from June 6, 2025.

What is Predator: Killer of Killers about?

This one comes to us from Dan Trachtenberg, who previously gave us the excellent Prey and the hotly anticipated Predator: Badlands. It’s an animated anthology movie that ranges across the sweep of history, offering up three Predator-centric stories. Essentially, if you ever wanted to see a Predator fight samurai, or Vikings, or World War II era fighter planes, this is your lucky day. And it appears there may be an overarching meta-narrative tying all three together, and connecting it to the events of the wider franchise, so that’s certainly intriguing.

The cast of Predator: Killer of Killers

All we know is we’ll be hearing the voices of Lindsay LaVanchy, Louis Ozawa Changchien, Rick Gonzalez, and Corporal Dwayne Hicks himself, Michael Biehn. But exactly who they’re lending their voices to remains a mystery. Vikings, samurai, and fighter pilots, we expect.

Why we’re excited about Predator: Killer of Killers

The Predator universe, and by association the Alien universe, is pretty hot property right now, what with the critical success of Prey and the commercial success of Alien: Romulus. Plus it looks like the upcoming Predator: Badlands strengthens the ties between the two related franchises.

Fans have been clamoring for more historical hunt ‘n’ kills starring our dreadlocked extraterrestrial pals, and with this effort, we’re getting three of ’em. If you’re ride-or-die for the big, green-blooded, intergalactic poachers—and God help us, we are, even after The Predator—this is a must watch. Now, if only we could get an animated Arnie in the next one…
