The Terminal List Season 2: Latest News

While there is not much in the way of exciting The Terminal List season 2 news, Chris Pratt did remind everyone that the second season is on the way. Pratt took to Instagram to celebrate the first anniversary of season 1's release. Along with Pratt's heartfelt thanks to fans for watching the first season, he teased that there was more to come, adding "You ain’t ready for what we have in store for you!" There are big plans for the franchise beyond The Terminal List season 2, as there is the spinoff series with Taylor Kitsch in the works too.

The Terminal List Season 2 Has Been Confirmed

The Terminal List season 2 has been confirmed. There was a considerable delay between the end of the first season and the new announcement that the show would return, casting some doubt among fans. However, those involved with the show — including Pratt and Carr — expressed optimism that the series would be moving forward. With the second season now confirmed and a prequel series also in the works, it seems as though Amazon Prime Video is betting that this could be a new franchise for the streaming service.

The Terminal List Season 2: Cast

The only confirmed The Terminal List season 2 cast member is Chris Pratt returning as James Reece. Reece racked up a high body count in season 1, so there aren't too many characters left standing. One potential co-star to return is Constance Wu's determined reporter Katie Buranek. Though Kitsch's Ben Edwards was seemingly killed in season 1, he will continue in his prequel series.

The Terminal List Season 2: Story Details

It has been confirmed that The Terminal List season 2 will adapt Carr's follow-up novel, True Believer. The book picks up with Reece living as a wanted fugitive, who gets pulled back into government service after a series of terrorist attacks. Recruited into the CIA and given a Presidential pardon for his actions in The Terminal List, Reece is thrust back into battle, traveling the globe to combat a deadly new threat that he's uniquely suited for.

Showrunner David DiGilio (Black Sails) has said that True Believer is an "epic blueprint for an epic season." The Terminal List differed from the book in notable ways in the first season and can be expected to do the same in season 2, but True Believer offers insight into where the season will go.

The Terminal List Prequel Series

With the success of The Terminal List season 1 and with the second season on the way, the franchise is expanding with a prequel series as well. Following the revelation that Ben Edwards (Taylor Kitsch) was one of the villains in The Terminal List season 1, the new show will examine how Edwards went from a respected soldier to turning on his friends. The show is being touted as an elevated espionage thriller. Kitsch is confirmed to return, and it would not be surprising if Pratt made an appearance as James Reece at some point given his history with Edwards.
