How to Watch the Predator Movies in Order (And Where to Stream)

If it bleeds, we can stream it. With Disney’s 20th Century Studios setting Predator: Badlands — director Dan Trachtenberg’s followup to Prey — and a second, secret Predator movie for 2025, fans may be on the hunt for the rest of the movies in the franchise that began with commando Dutch (Arnold Schwarzenegger) going to war against a tribal alien hunter in a Central American jungle in 1987’s Predator.

The Predator series has spanned five films to date (seven if you include the crossovers Alien vs. Predator and Aliens vs. Predator: Requiem). They include the 1990 loose sequel Predator 2; a standalone sequel, 2010’s Predators; an interquel, 2018’s The Predator; and, finally, a Predator prequel, 2022’s Prey.

Below, read on to find out how to watch the Predator movies in order, and then reference our guide to stream the Alien movies in order, including 2024’s Alien: Romulus.

How to watch the Predator series in order

Prey (2022)

Set 300 years ago, Prey tells the story of Naru (Amber Midthunder), a young Comanche woman, a fierce and highly skilled warrior, who stalks, and ultimately confronts, a highly evolved alien predator (Dane DiLiegro) with a technically advanced arsenal.

Predator (1987)

Deep in the jungle, several bodies have been discovered skinned and hanging from trees — although who or what could have done this is a mystery. Military covert specialist Dutch (Schwarzenegger) and his team are called in to eliminate the threat, but once in the heart of the menacing jungle, they discover something far worse than they could ever have imagined — the Predator — an alien which has come to earth with cloaking technology, extensive combat skills and a desire to hunt humans for sport.

Predator 2 (1990)

In the urban jungle of Los Angeles, detective-lieutenant Mike Harrigan’s (Danny Glover) police force is at war with drug lords and gangs. But just as Harrigan admits he’s losing the fight, one by one, gang lords are killed by a mysterious, fierce adversary with almost supernatural powers: the Predator. Before long, the vicious creature begins to hunt the hunters — Harrigan’s men. Now, Harrigan doesn’t just want to bring the creature in… he wants to bring it down in director Stephen Hopkins’ action-packed seque

Predators (2010)

Robert Rodriguez presents Predators, a bold new chapter in the Predator universe. Adrien Brody stars as Royce, a mercenary who reluctantly leads a group of elite warriors in a mysterious mission on an alien planet. Except for a disgraced physician (Topher Grace), they are all coldblooded killers – mercenaries, mobsters, convicts and death squad members – human “predators.” But when they begin to be systematically hunted and eliminated by a new predator breed, it becomes clear that suddenly, they are the prey.

The Predator (2018)

The hunt has evolved in the terrifying next chapter of the Predator series from director Shane Black (Iron Man 3).
