The Truth Unveiled: Hunters Season 3 Update - Everything You Need to Know
Hunters concludes with a gripping final season, leaving viewers satisfied with its thrilling storyline Discover what could have unfolded in Season 3 and hear from the cast and crew about the impactful ending
WARNING! This article includes SPOILERS for the second season of Hunters! Despite the arrival of the second season of Hunters three years after its debut, Amazon Prime has announced that there will not be a third season. When Hunters premiered in February 2020, it received mixed reviews (according to Rotten Tomatoes). The second season was released in January 2023, leaving audiences questioning the possibility of a third season. Due to the long wait for the second season to air, it seemed unlikely that there would have been a continuation. However, with numerous unresolved storylines, a captivating plot, and an exceptional cast, it was necessary to conclude Jonah's Nazi-hunting journey.
In Hunters season 2, the narrative unfolds through two distinct storylines set in different time periods. The first takes place in 1979, as Jonah and the hunters search for Adolf Hitler in Argentina. The second storyline focuses on Al Pacino's character, Meyer Offerman (who was revealed in the season 1 twist ending to be Nazi Wilhelm Zuchs, also known as "The Wolf"), from 1975 when he begins his mission of killing Nazis, until 1977 when he orders the execution of Ruth Heidelbaum. Hunters season 2 concludes both storylines satisfactorily, providing a sense of catharsis and empowerment for the Jewish characters, as stated by creator David Weil in an interview with EW. Though the finale leaves room for potential future adventures in Nazi hunting for Jonah, there will not be a Hunters season 3.
Prime Video Announced Hunters Season 2 As The Final Season
Hunters season 2 has been confirmed to be its last, with no plans for a season 3. The cancellation of the show, as well as the ending of Carnival Row after two seasons, has been announced by Prime Video. The second season of Hunters is ending earlier than expected, with only eight episodes compared to the first season's 10. This decision comes after the first season revealed that Adolf Hitler and Eva Braun were alive in Argentina, making it fitting for the series to conclude with their ultimate capture. The successful capture of Hitler by Jonah and his team, resulting in his imprisonment, provides a satisfying conclusion and eliminates the need for a third season.
What Hunters Season 3 Could Have Been About
Although Hunters season 3 isn't happening, it would have followed a similar plot to the first season. The group of hunters would have continued their mission to hunt down the remaining Nazis who have not yet faced justice. However, instead of targeting figures like Hitler, Wilhelm Zuchs, or The Colonel/Eva Braun, the main antagonist of Hunters season 3 would have been Travis, the evil neo-Nazi who managed to escape in the season 2 finale. Travis's whereabouts are unknown at the end of season 2, creating a major mystery surrounding how his plans to establish the "Fourth Reich" would be thwarted.
The closing scene of Jonah subtly tracking another Nazi at a restaurant in Miami hints that he would eventually locate Travis and put an end to his villainous schemes. Although Hunters season 2 suggests that Hitler may be in prison, it also highlights that evil still persists. Consequently, there will inevitably be more villainous Nazis for the characters to hunt down and eliminate. Just as the finale suggests, Jonah and his allies would continue their perilous work in Hunters season 3 and beyond, only stopping once every Nazi is exposed and held accountable for their crimes.
What The Cast & Crew Had To Say About Hunters Ending
While many are disappointed that there won't be a season 3 of Hunters, the cast and crew have a positive outlook on the series' ending. Lead actor Logan Lerman expressed his satisfaction with the series finale, stating that it was a great experience for him and that his character had a significant arc from season one to season two. Showrunner David Weil also shared his contentment with the story, despite the absence of a third season. He emphasized the importance of putting Adolf Hitler on trial and allowing Jonah to make a choice between darkness and light. Weil believed that telling this story was urgent and important, as it shed light on the violence, genocide, and hatred that still exists today.
