After a long wait, fans of The Terminal List finally got their fix when Season 2 dropped on Prime Video in October, four years after the show's debut. The new episodes, based on Jack Carr's novel True Believer, found Chris Pratt's James Reece washed ashore and thrust into a globe-trotting conspiracy spanning the Indian Ocean, Africa, the Middle East, and Europe—all leading back to his own backyard. The series has been a hit with both critics and audiences, earning 73% and 90% scores on Rotten Tomatoes respectively, and now the streamer has made its next move.
Prime Video Commits to More Reece
Prime Video has officially decided to continue adapting Carr's novels, with the third installment, Savage Son, now in the works. Whether it will be branded as Season 3 of the main series or a standalone project like the Taylor Kitsch-led prequel spin-off Terminal List: Dark Wolf remains to be seen. Either way, it's a clear signal that the streamer is all in on telling more stories with the former Navy SEAL. Amazon MGM Studios, MRC, and Civic Center Media are set to produce.
What to Expect from 'Savage Son'
Published in 2020, Savage Son raises the stakes for Reece like never before. The former sniper, still recovering from brain surgery, is trying to build a quiet life in the Montana wilderness with help from journalist Katie Buranek and his old SEAL buddy Raife Hastings. But that peace is shattered when a rogue CIA officer seeks refuge with the Russian mafia, who are determined to put Reece in the ground. When it becomes clear that someone in the U.S. government is compromised by foreign intelligence, Reece has no choice but to unleash his particular brand of vengeance and take the fight directly to the Russians.
The series has been praised for its cinematic action and high-stakes storytelling, and fans are already speculating about how the adaptation will handle the book's intense sequences. Given the show's track record, it's likely to stay close to the source material, with Reece assembling a team of commandos to confront his pursuers head-on.
For those who can't get enough of military thrillers, Taylor Sheridan's Lioness has been hailed as a worthy successor to The Terminal List in the streaming landscape. And if you're looking for more binge-worthy options, check out our list of Prime Video's best miniseries under eight episodes.
