Directed by Dan Trachtenberg, Predator: Badlands tells the story of Dek (Dimitrius Schuster-Koloamatangi), a young and underestimated Yautja who attempts to hunt the dangerous Kalisk to earn the respect of his father, Njohrr (Reuben de Jong), and the rest of his clan.
During his journey, he allies with Thia (Elle Fanning) to track down the dangerous creature.
This is the seventh installment in the Predator series, and it picks up the story after the events of the 2018 film, The Predator.
