Chris Pratt has become a household name thanks to his roles in blockbuster franchises like Guardians of the Galaxy and Jurassic World. But while those films have kept him busy, fans of his gritty TV work have been waiting patiently for the return of his Prime Video action thriller, The Terminal List. That wait is finally coming to an end.
Season 2 of The Terminal List is set to premiere on Prime Video on October 21, 2026, with all eight episodes dropping at once. The series, based on Jack Carr's novels, follows Pratt as Navy SEAL James Reece, who was thrust into a conspiracy after his entire platoon was ambushed. The first season ended with Reece executing his best friend, Ben Edwards (Taylor Kitsch), who had betrayed the team for money, and then fleeing to Mozambique.
The upcoming season is adapted from Carr's second novel, True Believer. This time, Reece embarks on a high-stakes mission that takes him from Moscow to Langley as he hunts down a former ally, Mo Farooq (Dar Salim), who has aligned with a resurgent terrorist group. The stakes are personal, and the action promises to be as explosive as ever.
While Pratt has been busy with other projects, including the Super Mario movie and the upcoming film Mercy with Rebecca Ferguson, he hasn't forgotten his TV roots. He also reprised his role in the spin-off The Terminal List: Dark Wolf, which centered on Kitsch's character. Now, fans are eager to see Reece's story continue.
One of the biggest challenges facing The Terminal List Season 2 is the long gap between seasons. A four-year hiatus is significant, and recent studies have shown that lengthy delays can hurt viewership. For instance, The Gentlemen saw a 45% drop in opening-week viewers after a two-year break. However, The Terminal List has a dedicated fan base, and the return of Pratt's character could buck that trend.
For those who can't get enough of action-packed thrillers, The Terminal List shares DNA with other popular series like Reacher and Taylor Sheridan's Lioness. If you're looking for more shows in that vein, check out our list of Reacher-style series to add to your watchlist.
As October 21 approaches, anticipation is building. Will Reece find the closure he seeks, or will new enemies emerge? One thing is certain: The Terminal List is back, and it's bringing the heat.
