James Reece has spent long enough hiding at sea; in Prime Video’s new THE TERMINAL LIST Season 2 trailer, Chris Pratt’s bruised ex-SEAL decides he is done running and heads straight back into danger.
“This season is a love letter to the special operations community,” Pratt, the series’ star and executive producer, said.
The tense official trailer opens with Reece alone, haunted by his murdered family and the bloody list he completed in Season 1. His retreat does not last: a new terrorist campaign threatens to hit home, and intelligence officials decide that the fugitive may be the one operator capable of stopping it. The quick pivot from lonely ocean calm to urban chaos makes the show’s wider scale impossible to miss.
Actor Gabriel Luna’s Freddy Strain arrives with the kind of deal that can wreck a quiet afternoon. Help track down Mohammed Farooq, and the president will grant Reece a full pardon, an offer that pulls Reece back toward the fight he tried to leave.
Season 2 adapts True Believer, the second James Reece novel by former Navy SEAL Jack Carr. The story widens Season 1’s personal revenge hunt into an international espionage thriller that crosses the Indian Ocean, Africa, the Middle East and Europe before tugging Reece into a conspiracy stretching from Moscow to Langley — and into his own family history.

Alongside Pratt, Season 2 starsTom Hopper as Raife Hastings, Constance Wu as Katie Buranek, Dar Salim as Farooq and Luke Hemsworth as Jules Landry. Luna joins an expanded cast that includes Costa Ronin, Olga Kurylenko, Yul Vazquez, Martin Sensmeier, Arnold Vosloo, Jeremy Bobb and Shiraz Tzarfati.
Prime Video will release all eight episodes worldwide on Wednesday, Oct. 21, 2026, according to its official announcement. Amazon MGM Studios, MRC and Civic Center Media produce the series; Pratt executive produces alongside writer-showrunner David DiGilio, Carr, Antoine Fuqua, Kat Samick, former Army Ranger Max Adams and former Navy SEAL Jared Shaw.
“We wanted to honor them and get it right. I couldn’t be more proud of what we made,” Pratt added of the special operations personnel who inspired the team.
That mission shaped the production as well as Pratt’s comments. Shaw and Adams oversaw the show’s action and military authenticity, while other veterans contributed as writers, actors, advisers and directors, including former Navy SEAL Ray Mendoza.
Deadline described Reece’s next chapter as a journey of violent redemption, and the trailer delivers gunfire, explosions, close combat, terrorist threats and flashes of death. Families should use viewer discretion with that material; this caution comes from the promotional footage and official premise, not a review of the unreleased season.
Movieguide® previously found moral, patriotic and family-centered elements in Season 1, but warned viewers about its excessive violence and foul language. Whether Season 2 balances its promised search for purpose and redemption with similar extremes will become clear only after the episodes arrive.
For now, Reece has his bargain, his target and one very long flight itinerary. THE TERMINAL LIST returns to Prime Video with all eight episodes Oct. 21.
