If you’re a fan of Jack Carr’s books and Prime Video’s hit streaming series The Terminal List, then you’ve got a lot to be excited about, according to A-list actor Chris Pratt.
Pratt (Guardians of the Galaxy, Jurassic World, etc.), one of Hollywood’s brightest stars, previously portrayed Carr’s beloved hero James Reece in Prime Video’s 2022 adaptation of Carr’s bestselling debut thriller, and is now set to reprise that role three years later in The Terminal List: Dark Wolf, which lands on Prime August 27th.
Dark Wolf, a prequel series that will explore the origin story of Ben Edwards, a CIA Ground Branch operative who is a former Navy SEAL and James Reece’s former teammate, is one of the year’s most anticipated new shows.
Starring Taylor Kitsch (best known for his roles as Tim Riggins in the NBC television series Friday Night Lights) as Edwards, Dark Wolf is an exciting expansion to Carr’s James Reece Universe. Currently, Pratt is filming season two of The Terminal List, which is based on Carr’s second book, True Believer.
While all eyes are on Dark Wolf, at least one person is talking about an additional future spinoff show—Chris Pratt, who teased this . . .
Praised as “One of the hardest working, most thoughtful, and fairest reviewers out there” by New York Times bestselling author Lisa Scottoline, Ryan Steck has “quickly established himself as the authority on mysteries and thrillers” (Author A.J. Tata). Steck also works full-time as a freelance editor in addition to running TRBS. He is the author of FIELDS OF FIRE, which #1 New York Times bestselling author Jack Carr says “will leave you speechless and begging for more,” LETHAL RANGE, OUT FOR BLOOD, GONE DARK, and TED BELL’S MONARCH.
