Paramount+ today announced the premiere of PREDATORS, the acclaimed, provocative film from EMMY® and Peabody Award-winning director David Osit, set for Monday, December 8th, around the world.

Deeply surprising and entirely gripping, PREDATORS dives deep into an unnerving investigation of Dateline’s To Catch a Predator, pulling back the curtain on the show’s complicated legacy.

PREDATORS will be released theatrically in the UK on November 14th. PREDATORS was released theatrically in over 50 markets in the US, beginning September 19th in New York at the Film Forum.

PREDATORS had its world premiere in the US Documentary Competition at the 2025 Sundance Film Festival and internationally at CPH:DOX. The film was recently a New York Times Critics’ Pick and is Certified Fresh @ 98% on Rotten Tomatoes.

Dateline’s To Catch a Predator was a popular television show designed to hunt down child predators and lure them to a film set, where they would be interviewed and eventually arrested. PREDATORS is a thought-provoking exploration of the fascinating rise and staggering fall of the show, and the true-crime genre it helped create.

PREDATORS is directed, produced, edited, and filmed by David Osit, produced by Jamie Gonçalves and Kellen Quinn, edited by Nicolás Nørgaard Staffolani. Music by Tim Hecker. Executive Produced by Jennifer Ollman and Co-Executive Produced by Arthur Bradford and Chad Beck. The film is presented by Sweet Relief Productions in association with Rosewater Pictures.

Osit is an Emmy® and Peabody Award-winning director, editor, and composer. His previous film MAYOR won a Peabody and Emmy Award, was a New York Times Critics’ Pick, and holds a 100% Certified Fresh rating on Rotten Tomatoes. David directed, produced, edited, filmed, and composed the feature documentary THANK YOU FOR PLAYING, which was broadcast on POV in 2016, and was nominated for three Emmy awards, winning for Outstanding Arts & Culture Documentary. David’s feature directorial debut, BUILDING BABEL, premiered at True/False in 2012 and was featured as the series premiere of PBS’s America Reframed in 2013.
