Based on an original idea and inspired by real events, The Hunt follows a diverse band of Nazi Hunters living in 1977 New York City, a press release said.
The cast will also include Logan Lerman, Jerrika Hinton, Lena Olin, Carol Kane, Saul Rubinek, Tiffany Boone, Louis Ozawa Changchien, Greg Austin and Dylan Baker.
Writer-producer David Weil will share show-running duties with producer Nikki Toscano, and Alfonso Gomez-Rejon is onboard to direct the pilot, then serve as a producer on the series.

After winning his Best Original Screenplay Oscar last year for penning the contemporary horror movie Get Out, Peele has signed on as the host/narrator of a new version of the sci-fi anthology series The Twilight Zone. He also wrote and directed the upcoming thriller Us.
