# List of accolades received by the Predator film series

Predator is a science fiction/horror film franchise originally conceived by screenwriters Jim and John Thomas. Originating from a joke makings rounds around Hollywood about Rocky Balboa fighting an alien, the Thomas brothers penned a screenplay for the first film, Predator, which was acquired by 20th Century Fox and released in 1987. Since then, there have been three sequels released intermittently, including Predator 2 in 1990 and Predators in 2010 and The Predator, in 2018. A prequel Prey, was released in 2022.
