It's been a long road for fans of Chris Pratt's military thriller, but the wait is almost over. The Terminal List is officially set to premiere its second season on Prime Video on October 21, 2026, marking the actor's return to the streaming platform's action lineup.
The series, which debuted in 2022 alongside another Prime Video heavyweight, Reacher, has taken its sweet time coming back. While Reacher has churned out four seasons in that span, The Terminal List has remained in limbo—until now. The show's return is a major bet for Prime Video, which is banking on Pratt's star power to deliver a hit.
Pratt, who has headlined blockbuster franchises like Guardians of the Galaxy, Jurassic World, and the Super Mario movies, has seen his recent solo project Mercy underperform. But The Terminal List offers a chance for redemption, and the streaming service is clearly hoping the series can replicate the success of its action peers.
The second season brings back familiar faces, including Constance Wu and Taylor Kitsch, while introducing new cast members Tom Hopper, Olga Kurylenko, and Dar Salim. The first season may have received mixed reviews from critics—it holds a 42% score on Rotten Tomatoes—but audiences were far more enthusiastic, giving it a 94% approval rating. That disconnect suggests the show has found a dedicated fanbase that appreciates its gritty, no-nonsense approach.
With Reacher continuing to dominate and its spin-off Neagley in the works, The Terminal List faces stiff competition. But Pratt's loyal following and the show's strong audience reception could give it an edge. As the streaming wars heat up, Prime Video is clearly positioning this as a flagship title.
For those who can't get enough of the action genre, there's plenty to explore. Lee Child's recent comments on Reacher's tech evolution offer insight into how the character has adapted, while a potential spin-off featuring Susan Turner could expand the universe further.
As October approaches, anticipation is building. Will The Terminal List live up to the hype? Only time will tell, but one thing's for sure: Chris Pratt is back, and he's ready to deliver.
