Why The Terminal List Works Better as a Series Than a Movie
Being a series has offered The Terminal List quite a few advantages. Here’s why the show works better as a series than it would have done as a film.
The Terminal List: Dark Wolfwill be a prequel set before the events of the first season of the 2022 parent show, which starred Pratt in the lead role while Kitsch played a supporting part. Those roles will be switched around this time as audiences will learn more about the origins of former Navy SEAL Ben Edwards and his involvement with CIA Special Operations.The Terminal Listrevealed that Edwards was a traitor, not only to his unit but also to his best friend, Reece. With that in mind,Dark Wolfwill explain what happened leading up to the betrayal. Read the official description forDark Wolfbelow:
Co-created by The New York Times bestselling author of The Terminal List, Jack Carr, and Season One creator-showrunner David DiGilio, The Terminal List: Dark Wolf is a prequel series with an origin story that follows “Ben Edwards” (Taylor Kitsch) throughout his journey from the Navy SEALs to the clandestine side of CIA Special Operations. The series is an espionage thriller that explores the darker side of warfare and the human cost that comes with it. It also features Chris Pratt reprising his role as “James Reece.”
What’s Going on With ‘The Terminal List’ Season 2?
Based on the book series by Jack Carr, the future ofThe Terminal Listis as bright as ever, especially withSeason 2 officially on the way. It’s taken three years for a production update, but it was revealed in early May that Chris Pratt is back in action filming as James Reece. It’s unclear when the show will return on Prime Video, but it’s safe to say that fans will have to wait until late 2026, at the earliest. At that point, it would have been four years since the first season premiered on Prime Video. However, Dark Wolfshould be able to whet fans' appetite in the meantime.
