It's been a long time coming but Hunters season 2 is finally here and set to bring this pulpy crime drama to an epic conclusion.

Executive produced by Jordan Peele, the show follows a group of Nazi hunters operating out of New York City in the 1970s as they seek to prevent fascism taking root once more.

The first season ended on perhaps the biggest bombshell imaginable, revealing that both Adolf Hitler (Udo Kier) and his wife Eva Braun (Lena Olin) are still alive and hiding out in South America.

But it's only a matter of time until they cross paths with our ragtag group, now led by a hardened Jonah Heidelbaum (Logan Lerman) – although his mentor Meyer Offerman (Al Pacino) is somehow still around.

Joining the action for this final chapter is Academy Award nominee Jennifer Jason Leigh, playing a new recruit as thirsty for vengeance as the rest of the team.
