As a die-hard movie enthusiast, I can’t help but express my admiration for Amazon Prime Video’s adaptation of “The Terminal List.” Stepping into the shoes of Navy SEAL James Reece (played by Chris Pratt), this series has carved out a significant niche for itself within the streamer’s lineup, inspired by Jack Carr’s blockbuster novels.
The show’s gripping storyline about Reece’s relentless pursuit of vengeance after his platoon is ambushed may have received mixed reviews from critics, but it certainly struck a chord with viewers due to its high-octane action and close adherence to the original material. The series has garnered a dedicated fanbase as a result, and this success has led to an expansion of the “Terminal List” universe, with the prequel series, “The Terminal List: Dark Wolf,” set for release soon.
In an exclusive conversation with ComicBook, Chris Pratt shared some thrilling news for fans of Carr’s novels. He revealed his ambitious plans to adapt multiple books and establish a comprehensive cinematic universe. With this exciting development on the horizon, it seems that “The Terminal List” is poised to become a major player in the world of streaming entertainment.
As a passionate film enthusiast, I’m thrilled to share that our ambition is to establish what we’re referring to as the Jack Carr Cinematic Universe (JCCU). We’re eagerly looking forward to October, when a new book titled “Cry Havoc” will be released, focusing on Tom Reese during the tumultuous era of espionage around the Vietnam War and the Civil Rights Movement.
Another captivating read is “Savage Song,” the third installment in the series. We’ve also got “The Devil’s Hand” and “Red Sky Morning” lined up. If the audience shows interest, I’d be overjoyed to adapt multiple books featuring this character. I’m deeply invested in this project, relishing the opportunity to bring these stories to life alongside an exceptional team. So buckle up, folks! Let’s ride this cinematic journey together until the very end.
In development is already a second season of “The Terminal List,” based on the second book “True Believer.” Mentioning upcoming novels like “Savage Son,” where Reece battles the Russian mafia in Siberian wilderness, and “The Devil’s Hand,” which involves stopping a dangerous bioweapon plot, suggests that the producers have a detailed plan to bring these high-stakes thrillers to life on screen. If the audience continues to engage, they may also adapt “Red Sky Morning” which follows Reece’s pursuit of a former Russian intelligence officer. This indicates that the creators are committed to bringing these books to the small screen as faithful adaptations for fans to enjoy.
What Is Dark Wolf, The Terminal List Prequel?
Before delving back into the main storyline, Amazon Prime Video is introducing an expansion with “The Terminal List: Dark Wolf”, a prequel series. This original production features significant collaboration from author Jack Carr and showrunner David DiGilio. Set five years prior to “The Terminal List” events, this prequel follows the transformation of Ben Edwards (played by Taylor Kitsch) from a decorated Navy SEAL into a covert CIA paramilitary operative. The series delves into the incidents that resulted in his dishonorable discharge and his subsequent recruitment into the agency by a master spy from the CIA named Jed Haverford (portrayed by Robert Wisdom). This narrative trajectory aims to illuminate the ethical decay and psychological strain that eventually lead Edwards to betray his friend James Reece, a surprising turn of events in the first season finale of the primary series.
The prequel brings forth several crucial new characters who significantly contribute to Edwards’ tale. Firstly, Tom Hopper enters the scene as Raife Hastings, a Navy SEAL with traits of a “hunter, protector, and guardian,” set to have a substantial impact on the series. Additionally, Luke Hemsworth joins in a recurring role, playing Jules Landry, a self-centered and explosive CIA contractor. These newcomers, along with characters such as James Reece and Ernest “Boozer” Vickers (Jared Shaw), who return, will expand the universe and unveil the roots of the conspiracy that Reece eventually discovers.
The Terminal List: Dark Wolf premieres on Prime Video on August 27th.
