It's confirmed: Jordan Peele's much-anticipated Hunters series is headed to Amazon Prime next month. 

The streaming giant announced the premiere date Friday, along with the action-thriller's official trailer. Previously titled The Hunt, the series follows a band of Nazi hunters living in 1970s NYC. The group discovers the city is occupied by hundreds of high-ranking Nazis who plan to create a Fourth Reich in the United States. So, in an effort to prevent another genocide, the Hunters go on a brutal quest to take down the undercover Nazis.

The Peele-produced show was created by David Weil and inspired by true events.

"When David Weil first shared The Hunt with me, I immediately knew that we had to be involved," Peele told Variety in 2018. "It's cathartic. It's noir. It’s frighteningly relevant. It’s exactly what I want to see on television. I am thrilled to be working with Amazon in bringing this incredible vision to the world."

Al Pacino leads the series as Meyer Offerman, a Holocaust survivor and the co-founder of the vigilante group.

"You know what the best revenge is?" Pacino asks at the top of the trailer. "Revenge."

Hunters is set to hit Amazon Prime on Feb. 21. The ensemble cast also includes Logan Lerman, Jerrika Hinton, Josh Radnor, Kate Mulvany, Tiffany Boone, Louis Ozawa Changchien, Dylan Baker, and Lena Olin.
