The Hollywood Reporter writes that Jordan Peele is currently shopping a network home for The Hunt. Intended as a series, this is another real-life story dramatically adapted. The Hunt traces the 1970s search and in some cases, the assassination of German Nazis. These were former Nazi Party members who were living in the United States, reportedly with protection from the government.

Sources told THR, “The package started going around town following the Charlottesville, Virginia, neo-Nazi protest and counter-protest.”
