Chris Pratt has had a whirlwind 2026, but one of his most enduring successes isn't a new release—it's the staying power of The Terminal List universe. The spin-off series The Terminal List: Dark Wolf, starring Taylor Kitsch, has now spent more than 200 days inside Prime Video's top 10 this year, a milestone that underscores the franchise's massive streaming appeal.
For those who've been following Pratt's year, it's been a mix of highs and lows. His sci-fi thriller Mercy, co-starring Rebecca Ferguson, stumbled at the box office before finding a second life as one of Prime Video's most-watched titles. Then came the animated juggernaut The Super Mario Galaxy Movie, where Pratt's voice work helped the sequel become the first film of 2026 to cross $1 billion globally. That movie is now streaming on Peacock and lands on Netflix later this month.
But the project fans were most eager to see was the long-awaited second season of The Terminal List, which finally premiered a few weeks ago. The first season debuted in 2022 alongside Reacher, and while that Alan Ritchson-led series has churned out four seasons, The Terminal List took its time—largely because of the spin-off Dark Wolf, which expanded the story of Kitsch's character, Ben Edwards.
That spin-off has become a phenomenon in its own right. Viewers have been binging Dark Wolf all year to prep for Season 2, and its 200-day streak in the top 10 is a testament to its gripping narrative and Kitsch's commanding performance. It's a rare feat for a spin-off to outshine its parent series, but Dark Wolf has done just that, proving the Terminal List universe has legs beyond Pratt's James Reece.
So, what's next? The franchise is set to continue with a new season based on Jack Carr's novel Savage Son, one of the most popular entries in the book series. Whether it'll be branded as The Terminal List Season 3 or a standalone project remains unclear, but given the marketing power of the Terminal List name, it's likely to carry that title in some form.
For fans of military thrillers, this is a golden era. The Terminal List universe is thriving, and Dark Wolf's longevity on the charts is a clear signal that audiences crave more of this gritty, tactical storytelling. If you haven't caught up yet, both seasons of The Terminal List and Dark Wolf are streaming on Prime Video.
