The Terminal List: Dark Wolf is a new action/espionage series due on Prime Video from August 27, 2025. This prequel to The Terminal List follows Ben Edwards, played by Taylor Kitsch, from his days in the Navy SEALs to his integration into the CIA's clandestine operations. Created by Jack Carr and David DiGilio, the series explores the darker side of American military intelligence. Chris Pratt also makes an appearance as James Reece.
The trailer unveiled by Prime Video promises an intense thriller centered on the moral choices of a soldier turned paramilitary agent.
The Terminal List: Dark Wolf will be available on Prime Video from August 27, 2025.
Synopsis: Five years before the events of The Terminal List, Ben Edwards transfers from the Navy SEALs to the CIA as a paramilitary operator. As he discovers the inner workings of clandestine intelligence, he is confronted with moral dilemmas and high-risk operations far from the traditional battlefield.
The Terminal List: Dark Wolf follows on from the original series released in 2022, but takes the form of a prequel focusing on the past of a secondary character who has become central: Ben Edwards. The series explores the behind-the-scenes transition between special forces and covert operations, in a tense geopolitical context.
With a more introspective narrative than its predecessor, Dark Wolf focuses on the psychological dilemmas faced by those who operate behind the scenes. The setting is a post-9/11 America still engaged in multiple theaters of operation, giving the series a realistic, strategic dimension.
Already present in the main series, Taylor Kitsch reprises his character in a younger, more tormented version. He is joined by Maurice P. Kerry and Tom Hopper. Chris Pratt also makes an appearance as James Reece, ensuring narrative continuity with The Terminal List.
The project is produced by Amazon MGM Studios in collaboration with MRC and Civic Center Media. Executive producers include Taylor Kitsch, Chris Pratt, Jack Carr, David DiGilio, Antoine Fuqua and Kat Samick, reinforcing the link between the two series.
The Terminal List: Dark Wolf is aimed at fans of militarythrillers and tactical espionage. The series will appeal to fans of Jack Ryan, Reacher, Bodyguard and Zero Dark Thirty. Its tone is more serious and analytical than that of the main series, with an emphasis on the human consequences of secret warfare.
Viewers interested in tales of double agents, gray-zone decisions and special operations should find mature, dense content in a modern, fast-paced form.
Scheduled for release in August 2025, The Terminal List: Dark Wolf is a prequel and spin-off series to The Terminal List, conceived by Jack Carr and David DiGilio. It retraces Ben Edwards' beginnings in the murky world of the CIA, with a realistic look at the workings of the shadows. Available on Prime Video, it is positioned as both a tactical and psychological spy thriller.
