Now is the perfect time to watch Chris Pratt and Taylor Kitsch’s Amazon conspiracy thriller series The Terminal List ahead of its highly anticipated prequel series release. Pratt, known for leading massive franchises such as Marvel’s Guardians of the Galaxy and Universal’s Jurassic World, stars in The Terminal List as James Reece, a former Navy SEAL officer who investigates an ambush that killed his entire platoon. Kitsch, who rose to prominence in the classic TV series Friday Night Lights and recently starred in Netflix’s acclaimed Western series American Primeval, plays Ben Edwards, Reece’s ex-military friend, in The Terminal List.
All eight episodes of The Terminal List season 1 premiered on Amazon Prime Video on July 1, 2022. Although The Terminal List season 2 has yet to be released, it is currently in production and is expected to come out sometime in 2026. Interestingly, The Terminal List will release a prequel series called The Terminal List: Dark Wolf this August while season 2 is still filming. While The Terminal List focuses primarily on Pratt’s James Reece, The Terminal List: Dark Wolf will be centered more on Kitsch’s Ben Edwards. Pratt will reprise his role in Dark Wolf, which will also feature performances by Luke Hemsworth and Tom Hopper.
