In an interview with IGN, director Shane Black explained how *Predator: Badlands* fits into the overall *Predator* timeline. He noted that during production, *Alien: Romulus* hadn’t been released yet, and he was unsure of the direction of *Alien: Earth*.

Black wanted to avoid creating a complicated timeline that would feel like ‘homework’ for viewers, making it easy to enjoy *Badlands* without needing to track where it fits relative to other films.
