WARNING! This article contains major SPOILERS for Hunters’ season 2 ending!Hunters‘ season 2 soundtrack is full of songs from the 1970s and some modern-day covers, with a surprising amount of classical and operatic pieces included as well. Hunters season 2 jumps between multiple timelines and sees the Nazi hunters travel across Europe, North America, and South America, with the music in each episode reflecting these changes. While not all songs included in the soundtrack of Hunters season 2 abide by the 1979 timeline, such as episode 1’s inclusion of a cover of a pop song from 2003, all the diegetic music in the series was released before the 1980s.
From Creedence Clearwater Revival to Vivaldi, Hunters season 2 features a wide variety of musical genres and artists as the Nazi hunters venture to Argentina. As Jonah and Hunters‘ main characters get closer to capturing real-life Nazis Adolf Hitler and Eva Braun in Argentina, the music shifts to become more suspenseful, with far more classical pieces mixed in when depicting flashbacks to Meyer in the mid-1970s and Zev in the 1940s.
