The Terminal List – Chris Pratt heads back to TV for a conspiracy thriller

The Star Lord actor lands on Prime Video for an eight-part action show asking “deep psychological questions”. 

Based on Jack Carr’s best-seller, The Terminal List tells the story of James Reece whose entire platoon of Navy SEALs is ambushed during a high-stakes covert mission.

As Reece returns home to his family with conflicting memories of the event, there are questions about his culpability. However, when new evidence comes to light, Reece discovers dark forces working against him; forces that endanger not only his life, but the lives of those he loves.

According to the show’s summary, it’s a “… conspiracy thriller that combines elevated action with deep psychological questions about the cost of pushing our nation’s highest trained operators too far.”

Certainly this feels like tougher material than the blockbusters Chris Pratt has become the poster boy for, with not a dinosaur in sight.

Led by Pratt as James Reece, the cast also includes some familiar names; Constance Wu (Solos), Taylor Kitsch, Jeanne Tripplehorn, Riley Keough and Patrick Schwarzenegger will also star. Also in the cast is Jai Courtney, plus Sean Gunn, Chris Pratt’s The Guardians of the Galaxy co-star.

It’s being executive produced by Chris Pratt and Jon Schumacher through Indivisible Productions, with Antoine Fuqua through Fuqua Films (Training Day), and writer/showrunner David DiGilio. Additionally, author Jack Carr is an executive produces, as is writer Daniel Shattuck (Graceland). The show is a co-production from Amazon Studios and Civic Center Media in association with MRC Television.

Away from Marvel, he is set to voice of both Super Mario and Garfield in two upcoming animated movie projects.

The Terminal List lands in its entirety at Prime Video on Friday, 1st of July 2022. We imagine there will be a trailer and more images soon – we’ll keep you posted.
