Chris Pratt's Navy SEAL James Reece hunts for the truth behind the ambush of his platoon in this brutal thriller β and a prequel changes the viewing order. Here's how to watch it.
The Terminal List stars Chris Pratt as James Reece, a Navy SEAL who returns home after his entire platoon is ambushed, only to uncover a conspiracy that puts his family and freedom at risk. Based on Jack Carr's novels, the franchise expanded with a prequel series centered on Reece's ally Ben Edwards.
Based on former Navy SEAL Jack Carr's best-selling novels, The Terminal List delivers a grounded, intense military thriller elevated by Chris Pratt's against-type dramatic turn. The franchise's expansion with the Dark Wolf prequel gives fans a chance to explore the backstory of key characters, and its release adds a fun wrinkle for viewers deciding how to watch.
π Release Order
Release order follows the original revenge thriller and then the prequel that fills in the backstory.
- The Terminal List (2022)
- The Terminal List: Dark Wolf (2025)
Here's the wrinkle: Dark Wolf is a prequel, so watching by story chronology reverses the release order.
π Story Chronology
Story chronology begins with the prequel Dark Wolf, which explores Ben Edwards' path into the CIA before the events of the original series.
- The Terminal List: Dark Wolf (2025)
- The Terminal List (2022)
Which Order Should You Choose?
For first-time viewers, release order works best β start with the original 2022 series, then watch Dark Wolf for the backstory. If you prefer to follow events chronologically, begin with Dark Wolf and finish with The Terminal List.
