Prime Video Confirms ‘The Terminal List’ Prequel, Chris Pratt to Co-Star

Summary

• Prime Video has officially confirmed ‘The Terminal List’ prequel, The Terminal List: Dark Wolf, starring Chris Pratt and Taylor Kitsch.
• The prequel will star Taylor Kitsch as Edwards and will narrate the story of his past and how the former Navy SEAL became rogue.

Prime Video has officially greenlit The Terminal List prequel series, ‘The Terminal List: Dark Wolf’. The flagship Amazon Prime show follows U.S. Navy SEAL James Reece (Chris Pratt), who sets out to search for truth after a mission goes horrendously wrong and jeopardizes his family. 

In spite of mixed reviews from both viewers and critics, the series has been officially renewed for a season 2, and now a prequel series has also been confirmed. 

According to TVLine, stars Chris Pratt and Taylor Kitsch have also agreed to appear as Reece and Ben Edwards in the prequel, respectively.

However, we don’t know how long it will take for the series to appear on Prime.

The Terminal List: Dark Wolf sparked a lot of buzz when it was first announced, and many wondered if Prime Video had plans to expand the show into a bigger universe. 

It is because the show is adapted from Jack Carr’s bestselling book series, which has six novels so far and a seventh one coming soon. However, it has been confirmed that Reece will not be the protagonist of the prequel.

Instead, the show will focus on the main villain, Edwards. Edward is Reece’s best friend and a former Navy SEAL in season 1. However, in the climax, Reece learns that Edward was the pioneer of an elaborate scheme that caused the death of his platoon and his family during the mission. 

Although the show follows the books in making Edward the villain, it makes him repent for his actions.

However, this deviation proved successful as it helped fans connect to the antagonist and gave him depth. In the prequel, we will learn more about Edwards’ backstory and what compelled him to take drastic measures to sabotage his best friend. 

While no other casting decisions are known, the backstory and main casting choices will excite fans about ‘The Terminal List: Dark Wolf’.
