Jordan Peele's next subversive specialty is on its way. Amazon has ordered a 10-episode Nazi-hunting series from the Get Out writer and director, Deadline first reported.

Peele will executive produce The Hunt, in which Nazi hunters discover the roots of a Fourth Reich in 1977 New York City. The drama stems from real events and will follow the diverse Hunters as they destroy the plot.

It's also going to be "noir" and "frighteningly relevant," Peele said. He's been working with The Hunt writer David Weil since September, per Deadline.
