Amazon renewed Hunters in August. Formerly based in New York, Hunters is heading out West thanks to some generous tax credits from the state of California.
The California Film Commission-run program gave the new season $18.8M – the second-largest relocating TV series tax credit award to date after the $24.7M given to Penny Dreadful: City of Angels.
The CFC estimates Hunters will bring in $75.2 million in qualified expenditures during a planned 107 shoot. Even with coronavirus safety protocols in place, the production plans on hiring 3,852 extras, 267 cast members, and a crew of 160.

Created by David Weil and executive produced by Jordan Peele. The first season featured Al Pacino, Logan Lerman, and Jerrika Hinton and premiered in February.
Inspired by true events, Hunters follows a diverse band of Nazi Hunters in 1977 New York City. They discover that hundreds of escaped Nazis are living in America. And so, they do what any bad-ass vigilante squad would do. They set out on a bloody quest for revenge and justice. But they soon discover a far-reaching conspiracy and must race against time to thwart the Nazis’ new genocidal plans.
The series also stars Josh Radnor, Kate Mulvany, Tiffany Boone, Greg Austin, Louis Ozawa, Carol Kane, Saul Rubinek, Lena Olin, and Dylan Baker (Trick ‘r Treat).
