If you missed 2022’s The Terminal List Season 1, here’s a brief explanation. The series follows Navy SEAL James Reece as his world is shattered after his entire platoon is ambushed. The tragedy leads him down an unsparing journey of vengeance as Reece unravels a conspiracy that reaches the highest echelons, endangering everyone he has left.
What can we expect from The Terminal List Season 2?
The Terminal List Season 2 was officially confirmed in February 2023. A press release from the streamer included a note from Chris Pratt, “I’m excited to announce that the second season of The Terminal List is on its way, and I couldn’t be more thrilled to reprise my role as James Reece. This season promises to be even more intense and action-packed than the first, and I can’t wait for everyone to see it.” Production on The Terminal List Season 2 has already started in March 2025, with Pratt’s comments to entertainment outlets letting the audience anticipate a global take for the second season.
While Chris Pratt is back as Executive Producer and the vengeance-driven James Reece, Gabriel Luna is joining the cast as Freddy Strain. A former SEAL Team 6 Senior Chief turned CIA Ground Branch officer, Freddy, adds a new dynamic to The Terminal List Season 2.
The Terminal List Season 2 will adapt Jack Carr’s True Believer book, which takes Reece’s revenge tour global. Pratt spoke with Collider about how the second season is investing in going on location. “I just got back from Africa. We’ve already started filming. It’s going to be un-f*cking-real, dude. I’m telling you.”
Pratt added, “The footage we’ve gotten already, we’ve set the bar so high for ourselves. We’re taking it out of the darkness of, like, the psychological thriller with an unreliable narrator and moving it into the world of true global spycraft.” Jack Carr’s “The True Believer” picks up with Reece taking refuge in Mozambique, South Africa. Labelled a domestic terrorist by the CIA, they’ve made an offer which leads him to go on the hunt for an Iraqi ex-commando coordinating terrorist attacks.
While The Terminal List Season 2 will seemingly debut in 2026, characters from the previously announced prequel series Dark Wolf will make appearances. If the story follows the book, then this is what we can expect:
“When a bomb goes off during a holiday fair in London, the body count is horrific and the nation’s market goes into a tailspin. This, it turns out, is just the beginning of a series of coordinated and murderous attacks against the whole of the Western world. As the scope of the mayhem grows ever wider, pulling in country after country, the United States goes on the offensive. Who is pulling the strings? What is their motive? And most important of all, how can the attacks be stopped before bloodshed and economic free fall bring America and her allies to their knees?”
Who does Gabriel Luna play in The Terminal List Season 2?
Gabriel Luna will play Freddy Strain. According to Variety, Luna’s Freddy is described as a “Former SEAL Team 6 Senior Chief and current officer with CIA’s Ground Branch, Freddy Strain is a man of two worlds – equal parts elite sniper and dedicated family man. His belief that James Reece survived the events of ‘The Terminal List’ S1 will pull the ‘Most Wanted Man on the Planet’ out of hiding and back into the fray. Reece shows Freddy that desperate times can call for operating outside the lines, while Freddy’s commitment to family, country, and cause will help guide Reece on his path to redemption.”
