Amazon Nazi Hunter Series Casts Members of the Tribe

March 1, 2019

Amazon Prime’s upcoming series “The Hunt,” about a band of Nazi hunters in 1977 in New York City, has several Jewish actors in its cast.

Josh Radnor, Logan Lerman, Carol Kane, and Saul Rubinek star as members of an organization who discover that hundreds of high-ranking Nazi officials are secretly living in the U.S. and are conspiring to create a Fourth Reich.

Radnor (“How I Met Your Mother,” “Mercy Street”) will play Lonny Flash, a movie star who becomes involved in the organization, led by Meyer Offerman (Al Pacino). Lerman (“Fury”) will portray Jonah Heidelbaum, who seeks answers after his grandmother is murdered and joins the hunt. Kane (“Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt”) and Rubinek (“The Last Tycoon”) will play Mindy and Murray Markowitz.

The 10-episode series stems from the minds of creator/writer/producer David Weil and Jordan Peele (“Get Out”) who will executive produce.

“When David Weil first shared ‘The Hunt’ with me, I immediately knew that we had to be involved,” Peele said in a statement. “Its 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.”

Amazon has not announced a premiere date.
