Prime Video is delving further into the depths with *The Terminal List: Dark Wolf*, a new origin narrative taking place prior to the storyline of the acclaimed original series. The Amazon-owned streaming platform has recently released first-look images and confirmed an Aug. 27 launch date for the action-laden prequel, which will debut with a triple episode premiere. Following that, viewers can anticipate new episodes each Wednesday, with the series concluding on Sept. 24.
This series brings back Taylor Kitsch as Ben Edwards, a former Navy SEAL whose evolution into CIA Special Operations sets the backdrop for the ethically ambiguous realm that *The Terminal List* is recognized for. Chris Pratt also reprises his role as James Reece, joining Kitsch in a narrative that promises high-stakes espionage, realism in combat, and an examination of what compels honorable individuals to breach moral boundaries in the name of service.
The new series was co-created by Jack Carr — the ex-Navy SEAL-turned-bestselling novelist of *The Terminal List* — along with returning showrunner David DiGilio. This endeavor is rich in authenticity: Military veterans participated at nearly every stage, from scripting and producing to providing on-set counsel. The aim: to ensure the tone and tactics are accurate while delving into the psychological burden of covert missions.
Prime Video has gathered a robust supporting cast for the prequel, featuring *The Umbrella Academy’s* Tom Hopper as Raife Hastings, *The Wire’s* Robert Wisdom, *Westworld’s* Luke Hemsworth, and international talents such as Rona-Lee Shimon and Shiraz Tzarfati. With its emotional resonance and ground-level intensity, *The Terminal List: Dark Wolf* is set to amplify the franchise in a manner that should easily resonate with enthusiasts of military thrillers — and in a way that continues Prime Video’s commitment to genre storytelling.
