It's been a busy few years for Chris Pratt, from wrapping up the Guardians of the Galaxy trilogy to voicing iconic characters like Mario and Garfield. But fans of his gritty action thriller The Terminal List have been waiting patiently for the next chapter. That wait is finally over, as Prime Video has unveiled the first trailer for Season 2, giving Pratt's vengeful Navy SEAL a new purpose—and a path to redemption.
The series, based on Jack Carr's novels, first introduced us to James Reece in 2022. After a brutal campaign of vengeance in Season 1, Reece was left adrift, heading to Mozambique with no clear direction. Now, the new trailer picks up right where we left him, but he's in rough shape—suffering from double vision, haunted by traumatic memories, and dealing with a ticking clock in the form of a brain tumor.
Despite his condition, the government sees Reece as a valuable asset. His old teammate Freddy Strain, played by newcomer Gabriel Luna, offers him a deal: a full presidential pardon in exchange for help with a dangerous operation. This mission will take Reece across Africa, the Middle East, and Europe, unraveling a conspiracy that stretches from Moscow to Langley and even connects to his own family's past. With nothing to lose, Reece is more willing than ever to take risks and get the job done by any means necessary.
The stakes are higher than ever in Season 2, which adapts Carr's novel True Believer. The trailer promises a global, action-packed thriller that expands the scope of the series while maintaining its signature gritty realism. The franchise has already amassed over 100 million viewers worldwide, making it one of Prime Video's biggest action hits alongside other streaming sensations.
Joining Luna in the cast are international stars like Costa Ronin, Olga Kurylenko, Yul Vazquez, Martin Sensmeier, Arnold Vosloo, Jeremy Bobb, and Shiraz Tzarfati. Fan favorites Tom Hopper, Constance Wu, Dar Salim, and Luke Hemsworth are also returning as series regulars. Creator David DiGilio is back as showrunner, ensuring the series stays true to its source material.
Authenticity remains a cornerstone of the production. Former Navy SEAL Jared Shaw and Army Ranger Max Adams serve as executive producers, while Ray Mendoza, a former SEAL and co-director of Warfare, contributes behind the camera. Veterans from all branches were employed throughout the production, from actors to advisors, to capture the true mindset of service members.
All eight episodes of The Terminal List Season 2 premiere on Prime Video on October 21. The trailer is now available, and it's clear that Reece's journey is far from over. For fans of high-octane action and deep conspiracy thrillers, this is one to mark on the calendar.
