The camera slowly pans across a vast, desolate desert. The sun is setting, casting long shadows across the cracked earth. In the distance, towering mesas rise against the darkening sky. The wind howls, lifting dust into the air, creating an eerie, lifeless scene.
NARRATOR (V.O.) In a land where no man dares to roam…
The screen cuts to a close-up of Naru (Amber Midthunder), her face streaked with dirt and sweat. She stands alone, silhouetted against the fading sun, her eyes scanning the horizon. Her breath is steady, but her expression is hardened by experience.
NARRATOR (V.O.) …a new predator emerges.
[EXT. DESERT CANYON – NIGHT]
Naru moves stealthily through a narrow canyon, her bow drawn, every step calculated and quiet. The silence is oppressive, broken only by the faint sound of her breathing. Suddenly, a shimmering figure moves in the shadows behind her, barely visible—a cloaked Predator.
The camera zooms in on Naru’s face as she freezes, sensing the danger. Her hand tightens on the bowstring, but she doesn’t turn around.
NARRATOR (V.O.) This time, survival means entering the unknown…
Cut to a rapid montage: Naru sprinting through the desert, her feet kicking up dust as she dodges laser blasts; her hand reaching out to steady herself as she clings to the edge of a cliff; the camera catching glimpses of Predator tech, glowing ominously in the darkness. The tension is palpable.
[EXT. ABANDONED OUTPOST – NIGHT]
Naru discovers an old, abandoned military outpost buried in the desert. The camera follows her as she enters cautiously, her footsteps echoing through the desolate corridors. Dust particles float in the air, illuminated by the beam of her flashlight. In the corner, a broken-down vehicle lies rusting, and old equipment is scattered across the floor.
She finds evidence of a brutal fight—scorched walls, bloodstains, and broken weapons. Her hand brushes against a wall, feeling the scars left behind by past battles.
NARRATOR (V.O.) And the past… has left its mark.
The camera cuts to a quick flash of Predator glyphs carved into stone, glowing faintly with an otherworldly light. Naru examines them closely, her brow furrowing in recognition. She knows what this means.
[EXT. DESERT NIGHT SKY – WIDE SHOT]
The camera zooms out to show the desert from above. In the distance, a glowing object streaks across the night sky, crashing into the earth with a violent explosion of light and sound. Dust and debris fly into the air.
NARRATOR (V.O.) In a land where no one is safe…
The screen cuts to rapid shots: Naru battling against the Predator with makeshift weapons, dodging deadly strikes, and using her environment to outsmart the creature. The fight is brutal, primal, and unforgiving.
In one final shot, Naru stands alone, bloodied but unbowed, staring down a fully revealed Predator. Its mandibles click ominously as it prepares to strike.
NARRATOR (V.O.) Who will be the prey?
The screen goes black. The sound of a Predator’s chilling roar echoes as the title card slowly fades in:
TEXT ON SCREEN: PREY 2: NO MAN’S LAND
TEXT ON SCREEN: ONLY ON HULU – 2024
The screen stays black for a beat longer, and then the sound of footsteps crunching on gravel is heard, followed by a faint, haunting Predator click.
This teaser trailer is designed to evoke the stark and unforgiving nature of the desert, introducing a new, harsher environment for Naru. The tension is built through the isolation of the setting and the threat of the Predator, with the emphasis on survival against overwhelming odds. The teaser sets up the stakes and hints at the brutal conflict to come without giving too much away.
