Chris Pratt has come a long way from his Parks and Recreation days. Today, he's one of Hollywood's most bankable action stars, with blockbuster franchises like Guardians of the Galaxy and Jurassic World under his belt. His star power has translated to streaming success too, as his recent sci-fi epic Mercy—despite a modest theatrical run—became a massive hit on Prime Video after its debut earlier this year.
But before Mercy, Pratt had already proven his streaming appeal with The Terminal List, a gritty action-thriller series that premiered on Prime Video in 2022. Based on Jack Carr's novel, the show follows Navy SEAL commander James Reece as he uncovers a vast conspiracy after his team is ambushed. The series was an instant hit, leading to a spin-off starring Taylor Kitsch, with Pratt returning for guest appearances. Now, fans have been rewatching the first season, pushing it back into Prime Video's top 10 in multiple countries.
For those who love the bone-crunching action of Reacher and the stylish mayhem of John Wick, The Terminal List is the perfect blend of both. It's a conspiracy thriller with relentless pacing and visceral fight scenes, making it a must-watch for genre fans. If you're new to the series, catching up on season one is a great way to prepare for what's coming.
Season 2 Premiere Date Announced
Prime Video has finally confirmed the release date for The Terminal List Season 2. The new season will premiere on October 21, 2026, with all eight episodes dropping simultaneously. Pratt returns as James Reece for an expanded, high-stakes mission that takes him across the globe. The show promises even more intense action and deeper conspiracy layers, building on the foundation of the first season.
In addition to the series, Pratt has another project on the horizon. He'll star alongside Linda Cardellini in Way of the Warrior Kid, an Apple TV+ original movie directed by McG. The film follows a hardened Navy SEAL who moves in with his sister and discovers her son is being bullied. He then takes it upon himself to teach his nephew to stand up for himself. The movie is based on the novel by Jocko Willink and will premiere globally on Apple TV+ on November 20, 2026.
