Season 2 is slated to begin on Jan. 13 and will wrap up the story about a group dedicated to murdering Nazis who have escaped prosecution after World War II and are now living in the United States.

Starring Al Pacino, Logan Lerman, Lena Olin, Jerrika Hinton, Josh Radnor, Tiffany Boone and Kate Mulvany, the show is set in the 1970s.

Jennifer Jason Leigh, Emily Rudd and Tommy Martinez will appear in the final episodes.

The show was created by Invasion co-creator David Weil and executive produced by Get Out Oscar winner Jordan Peele.

The new season will focus on the team's hunt for Nazi leader Adolf Hitler, played by German actor Udo Kier, who is still alive and wreaking havoc.

"I would only ever invoke Hitler if we're going to deliver justice in some, hopefully, satisfying way," Weil told EW.com.

"For me, as a kid growing up on Long Island, being Jewish, there was always this frustration and anger that Hitler got away with his crimes, that he was never brought to justice, he was never arrested, killed, tried, that he made a decision at the end of his life," Weil said.

"So Hunters, being a show about catharsis, about Jewish empowerment, and about wish fulfillment for Jewish kids like me who grew up wanting to reclaim power, Season 2, I hope, will be that catharsis."
