The Terminal List was a big hit for Prime Video in 2022, and it's confirmed that Amazon has renewed the series for season 2. Based on the novel by Jack Carr, The Terminal List is the first book featuring protagonist Commander James Reece (Chris Pratt), a former Navy SEAL who goes on a mission of revenge when he discovers a conspiracy that goes deep into the upper levels of government. In addition to Pratt, the show stars Taylor Kitsch, Jai Courtney, Jeanne Tripplehorn, Constance Wu, Riley Keough, Arlo Mertz, JD Pardo, and more.

The Terminal List season 1 featured 8 single-hour episodes and premiered on July 1, 2022. Created for TV by Dan DiGilio (Black Sails) and directed/executive produced by Antoine Fuqua, The Terminal List has the distinction of the book's author, Jack Carr, also being an executive producer and advisor to the series. After his family is targeted, James Reece creates a list, called "The Terminal List", and hunts down those responsible. With his mission complete, it's unclear what happens next in The Terminal List season 2.

The Terminal List Season 2 Latest News

A New Star & Filming Details

Though news has been rather scant regarding the series' return, the latest update confirms a new cast member has ed The Terminal List season 2.

Reece shows Freddy that desperate times can call for operating outside the lines, while Freddy’s commitment to family, country, and cause will help guide Reece on his path to redemption.”

The Terminal List Season 2 Has Been Confirmed

A Second Season Is Coming Soon

The Terminal List season 2 has been confirmed. There was a considerable delay between the end of the first season and the announcement that the show would return, casting some doubt on the project. However, those involved with the show — including Pratt and Carr — expressed optimism that the series would be moving forward. With the second season now confirmed and a prequel series also in the works, it seems as though Amazon Prime Video is betting big on the new franchise.

The Terminal List season 2 was announced at the same time as the spinoff, The Terminal List: Dark Wolf.

However, it would take many months for concrete details to surface, including when production is due to begin. Now, it has been announced that The Terminal List season 2 will start shooting in late March or early April 2025, though a full timeline remains elusive. It's also unclear when Prime Video hopes to deliver the sophomore season, or how the release of Dark Wolf will impact season 2.

The Terminal List Season 2 Cast Details

Who Can Return After Season 1?

For the longest time, the only confirmed season 2 cast member was Chris Pratt as James Reece. Reece racked up a high body count in season 1, so there aren't too many characters left standing. One other potential return is Constance Wu's determined reporter Katie Buranek. Likewise, JD Pardo has teased the return of FBI Agent Tony Layun. Taylor Kitsch's Ben Edwards was killed in season 1, but he will continue in his prequel series. One newcomer, however, is Diego Luna, who will play former Navy SEAL and current CIA operative Freddy Strain.

The presumptive cast of The Terminal List season 2 includes:

The Terminal List Season 2 Story Details

Season 2 Adapts Carr's True Believer

The book picks up with Reece living as a wanted fugitive, who gets pulled back into government service after a series of terrorist attacks.

It has been confirmed that The Terminal List season 2 will adapt Carr's follow-up novel, True Believer. The book picks up with Reece living as a wanted fugitive, who gets pulled back into government service after a series of terrorist attacks. Recruited into the CIA and given a Presidential pardon for his actions in The Terminal List, Reece is thrust back into battle, traveling the globe to combat a deadly new threat that he's uniquely suited for.

Showrunner David DiGilio (Black Sails) has said that True Believer is an "epic blueprint for an epic season." The Terminal List differed from the book in notable ways in the first season and can be expected to do the same in season 2, but True Believer offers insight into where the season will go.

A Terminal List Prequel Series Is Also In The Works

The Terminal List: Dark Wolf Will Follow Taylor Kitsch's Edwards

With the success of The Terminal List season 1 and with the second season on the way, the franchise is expanding with a prequel series as well. Following the revelation that Ben Edwards (Taylor Kitsch) was one of the villains in The Terminal List season 1, the new show will examine how Edwards went from a respected soldier to turning on his friends. The Terminal List: Dark Wolf is being touted as an elevated espionage thriller. Kitsch is confirmed to return, and it would not be surprising if Pratt made an appearance as James Reece at some point given his history with Edwards.
