Amazon Prime Video, the studio and streamer behind the mammoth hit that is Reacher, launches their latest action thriller franchise with the first trailer for The Terminal List prequel, The Terminal List: Dark Wolf. While the initial show centered on MCU star Chris Pratt’s amnesiac US Navy SEAL James Reece, the spin-off series will put American Primeval’s Taylor Kitsch front-and-center, allowing audiences to get better acquainted with his character, former Navy SEAL-turned-CIA agent Ben Edwards.
Set before the first series, which first landed on Prime Video back in 2022, The Terminal List: Dark Wolf promises all the action, darkness, and intrigue that fans of the first outing are hoping for. Dark Wolf is due to land on the streamer on August 27, 2025, and you can check out the official synopsis and newly released trailer below…

Chris Pratt has been showing off a “rough” appearance in the name of his returning Prime Video action series.
“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.””
‘The Terminal List’ Proved Deeply Divisive Among Critics & Audiences
Based on the novel of the same name by Jack Carr, The Terminal List follows James Reece (Chris Pratt) who, after his entire platoon of Navy SEALs is ambushed while on a covert mission, returns home to his family with conflicting memories of the event and questions about his culpability. As new evidence comes to light, Reece discovers dark forces working against him, endangering not only his life but the lives of those he loves.
Featuring a cast that includes Constance Wu, Jeanne Tripplehorn, Riley Keough, Tom Hopper, Patrick Schwarzenegger, and Jai Courtney alongside Pratt and Kitsch, The Terminal List was a huge hit with audiences, garnering 1.1 billion minutes viewed across its eight-episode first season. However, the action thriller proved seriously divisive with critics and audiences (40% from the former and 94% from the latter), which executive producer and author Jack Carr blamed on the show not pandering to so-called “wokeness.”
“We don’t mention right, left, conservative, liberal, none of those things are even mentioned. The Daily Beast, in particular, their review was quite mean. But they see an American flag and they get upset. Or they see someone who is competent with weapons and has a certain mindset and holds those in power accountable for their actions and they just kind of lose it a little bit. We didn’t make it for critics. What’s important to me and to Chris Pratt was that we made something that would speak to those members of the military who went down range over the last 20 years so they could sit down and say, ‘These guys put in the work and made a show that speaks to me.’”
Once again, for those in the back, The Terminal List: Dark Wolf is due to debut on Prime Video on August 27, with The Terminal List having been renewed for a second season.
