Fans are looking forward to another psychological film, After the Hunt, with the second trailer recently released. It takes place at a prestigious college, Yale University, and deals with issues such as accusations of sexual misconduct, evaluating the consequences of cancel culture, and unraveling the complexities of academic life.

The tension between the characters is evident in the trailer, which has heightened the fan excitement. After watching the trailer, a fan wrote:

"I've never been more ready to see this film than I am at LFF"

The trailer hints that Alma has some secrets hidden, and while handling Hank's case, she is bound to face the past. Will she lose her position at Yale and damage her reputation? Fans will only learn the truth after watching the film.

As explained earlier, After the Hunt has a star-studded cast with Julia Roberts leading the film, along with fan-favorites Andrew Garfield and Ayo Edebiri playing the key roles. While Julia will be seen as a principal and Garfield as the professor, Edebiri will be seen playing Margaret "Maggie" Resnick, a philosophy student.

The mentor-protégé relationship will take center stage as the film promises to explore how Alma and Maggie will navigate the challenges in their relationship. It's not just about teaching and learning, but also trust, loyalty, and each student dealing with the academic environment differently.

Amazon MGM Studios recently released a trailer, and fans couldn't help but share their excitement. One commented below the trailer:
