It's been a wild year for Chris Pratt. After the box office stumble of Mercy and the massive success of The Super Mario Galaxy Movie, the actor is gearing up for a busy fall. His action-comedy Way of the Warrior Kid hits Apple TV+ on November 25, but before that, he's finally returning to one of his most intense roles.
Pratt is back as James Reece in The Terminal List Season 2, which will premiere on Prime Video on October 21. The first season dropped back in 2022, so fans have waited four years for this follow-up. To make the wait feel even more worth it, the show is getting a special big-screen send-off.
On October 20, the day before the streaming debut, The Terminal List Season 2 will be screened in select Regal theaters in the premium RPX format. Pratt and creator Jack Carr shared the news on Instagram, with Pratt emphasizing that the show's "old-school filmmaking deserves to be seen on the big screen." It's a one-night-only event, so fans will want to grab tickets fast.
The series has often been compared to another Prime Video heavyweight, Reacher, starring Alan Ritchson. Both shows follow former military operatives navigating a world of conspiracies and violence, but they have their own flavors. Reacher is more grounded and procedural, while The Terminal List takes a more globetrotting, high-octane approach. If you're a fan of one, you'll likely enjoy the other.
Interestingly, Reacher has been on a roll lately. Season 4 premiered this summer, and the show has already been renewed for Seasons 5 and 6. Meanwhile, The Terminal List is just getting its second season off the ground. But with this theatrical event, it's clear Prime Video is betting big on Pratt's series.
For those who haven't caught up, the first season of The Terminal List is available to stream on Prime Video. It's a great way to refresh your memory before the new episodes drop. And if you're in the mood for more action, you might want to check out how another film stole the streaming crown recently.
The theatrical screening is a smart move, especially given the recent trend of streaming shows getting limited cinema releases. It gives fans a chance to experience the action on the biggest screen possible, and it builds buzz for the streaming premiere. Plus, it's a nice nod to the old-school action movies that clearly inspire the series.
So mark your calendars: October 20 for the big-screen experience, and October 21 for the binge-watch. Either way, Chris Pratt is back in action, and it looks like it's going to be a wild ride.
