The Prime Video prequel shows how a Navy SEAL’s life takes a dangerous turn.
Fans of “The Terminal List” have been waiting for more, and now we’re getting it — with a twist. Instead of jumping right into Season 2, Prime Video is taking us back in time with “The Terminal List: Dark Wolf,” a prequel that digs into Ben Edwards’ origin story. Taylor Kitsch is back as Ben, tracing how a Navy SEAL’s move into the CIA set the stage for the events of James Reece’s story. Chris Pratt also returns, but this time in a smaller role, as the focus stays squarely on Ben’s dark, complicated path. The series kicks off with a three-episode drop on Wednesday, Aug. 27, exclusively on Prime Video.

What is ‘The Terminal List: Dark Wolf’ about?
“The Terminal List: Dark Wolf” is a prequel to the hit series “The Terminal List,” and it puts the spotlight on Ben Edwards, played by Taylor Kitsch. Before he was mixed up in the events that rocked James Reece’s world, Ben was a Navy SEAL who got pushed out of the military after one life-changing decision. With no way back, he’s pulled into the secretive, high-stakes world of CIA Special Operations, where nothing is black and white.
The show dives into the messy side of covert missions — lots of action, dangerous choices, and the kind of moral gray areas that can change a person. It’s not just about gunfights and spy games, though. This is Ben’s story, showing how a loyal soldier ends up on a path that will eventually put him at odds with Reece. If you loved the intense, military realism of the original, this one looks like it’s going to deliver that same gritty vibe but with a deeper look at what makes Ben tick.

Who stars in ‘The Terminal List: Dark Wolf’?
Taylor Kitsch leads “The Terminal List: Dark Wolf” as Ben Edwards, the former Navy SEAL whose shift into CIA Special Operations sets the stage for everything that happens in the original series. Chris Pratt is back, too, reprising his role as James Reece, though this time he’s in a smaller, supporting role as the story keeps its focus on Ben’s journey.
The cast is loaded with familiar faces and some new ones. Tom Hopper plays Raife Haistings, Dar Salim takes on the role of Mohammed Farooq, and Luke Hemsworth appears as Jules Landry. You’ll also see Robert Wisdom as Jed Haverford, Rona-Lee Shimon as Eliza Perash, and Jared Shaw — who also serves as a technical advisor — returning as Ernest “Boozer” Vickers.
How is ‘The Terminal List: Dark Wolf’ connected to the original series?
“The Terminal List: Dark Wolf” is set before the events of “The Terminal List” and digs into Ben Edwards’ life long before James Reece’s story begins. It follows Ben’s journey from Navy SEAL to CIA Special Operations, showing the choices and dangerous missions that shaped who he became. Chris Pratt’s Reece does appear, but this series is all about Ben’s past and how it connects to the larger world of the original show.
Is ‘The Terminal List: Dark Wolf’ based on the books?
Not exactly. While “The Terminal List” is based on Jack Carr’s bestselling thriller novels, “The Terminal List: Dark Wolf” is an original story created specifically for TV. Carr is still heavily involved as a co-creator, writer, and executive producer, so it stays true to the world he built in the books. Think of it as a new chapter that fills in Ben Edwards’ backstory rather than an adaptation of one of Carr’s novels.
