Badlands has finally arrived, and it's safe to say this new entry is doubling down on the series' sci-fi worldbuilding.

The “Predator” franchise came back swinging with “Prey,” and now we've got Hulu's animated “Killer of Killers” on the way, plus the live-action “Badlands” coming on November 7. That’s solid momentum and proof that this franchise has gained its spark again.

Badlands trailer has sparked a discussion among fans of the long-running sci-fi movie franchise. Amid debate about the new-look Yautja that appears to be the protagonist this time around, there is also excited talk about various Easter eggs that very much look like they’re setting up an Alien tie-in.
