‘The Terminal List’ Season 2 Release Date, Cast, Plot, Trailer, and Where to Watch
Chris Pratt is set to return as Navy SEAL Commander James Reece when ‘The Terminal List’ comes back to Prime Video on Wednesday, October 21, with all eight episodes of the second season arriving together. The wait has been a long one for fans of the action thriller.
The new episodes land nearly five years after the show’s debut, and the franchise has gathered more than 100 million viewers worldwide. This guide covers the release date, the cast, the story, the trailer and how to stream ‘The Terminal List’ without missing a beat.
‘The Terminal List’ Release Date Is Set for October 21
Prime Video will release the full season on October 21, 2026, exclusively on its service in more than 240 countries and territories. Because all eight episodes premiere at once, viewers will not have to wait week to week for the story to unfold.
The first season was released on July 1, 2022, and the series was renewed for a second season in February 2023. That gap explains why the return has felt so distant for a show that built its audience quickly.
The series is produced by Amazon MGM Studios, MRC and Civic Center Media, with Pratt, showrunner David DiGilio, author Jack Carr and Antoine Fuqua among the executive producers. Former Navy SEAL Jared Shaw and former Army Ranger Max Adams oversee the action and authenticity work, and the directors include former Navy SEAL Ray Mendoza.
‘The Terminal List’ Cast Brings Back Familiar Faces and Adds New Ones
Pratt returns as James Reece, joined by Tom Hopper as Raife Hastings, Constance Wu as Katie Buranek, Dar Salim as Mohammed Farooq and Luke Hemsworth as Jules Landry. These returning characters give the new season a connection to the events that closed out the first run.
The expanded international cast includes Gabriel Luna as Freddy Strain, along with Costa Ronin, Olga Kurylenko, Yul Vazquez, Arnold Vosloo, Martin Sensmeier, Shiraz Tzarfati and Jeremy Bobb. Reference listings also place Sensmeier as Sergeant Major Otatkay and Ronin as Vasili Adrenov.
Based on the teaser, Luna’s Freddy Strain appears to be the figure who pulls Reece back into a life of counterterrorism and intrigue. That makes the newcomer an important piece of the season’s central mission.
Plot Takes James Reece Into a Global Conspiracy
The season adapts Jack Carr’s second novel, True Believer, which puts Reece on a journey of violent redemption as he looks for a new purpose after finishing his list. The shift in focus signals a different kind of story from the one that opened the series.
Reece will uncover a conspiracy that reaches from Moscow to Langley and ties into his own family’s history. The psychological revenge thriller of the first season expands into an espionage saga that moves from the Indian Ocean across Africa, through the Middle East and into Europe.
In one description of the story, the CIA corners Reece, who must clear his name by stopping a terrorist group that has converted one of his allies to its cause. Coverage of the teaser also points to a full presidential pardon being part of what draws him back in.
Pratt has framed the season as a tribute to the military community. In comments shared by Amazon News, Pratt said, “This season is a love letter to the Special Operations community.” He described the season as dedicated to the people who operate in the shadows and rarely ask for recognition.
Trailer and Where to Watch ‘The Terminal List’ on Prime Video
Prime Video revealed the first teaser trailer and key art on August 20, 2026. The official trailer followed on September 17, 2026.
The teaser shows a leaner Pratt with a heavy beard, still carrying the intensity of the role while Reece searches for purpose after clearing his list. The footage suggests a quieter and more weathered version of the character before the mission pulls him back in.
The new season streams on Prime Video, which is included with an Amazon Prime membership that costs $14.99 monthly or $139 annually in the United States, and new members can start a free trial lasting 30 days. Pricing in other regions may differ, so local Amazon sites are the best place to confirm.
Viewers who want to catch up can stream the first season and a prequel series on Prime Video right now. If you have followed James Reece since the revenge story of the first season, share in the comments whether trading a personal list for a conspiracy running from Moscow to Langley feels like the right next step for the character.
