It seems like eons ago, but movie star Chris Pratt first rose to fame as silly TV star Chris Pratt in the series “Parks & Rec.” However, since then, he’s gone on to star in multiple billion-dollar franchises, playing a superhero in one and a dinosaur wrangler in another, among other blockbuster films. But according to Deadline, Pratt is ready to venture back into the realm of TV, but not in another workplace comedy. No, far from it.
The report claims that Pratt is set to star in a new series “The Terminal List” from writer David DiGilio and director Antoine Fuqua. The series stars Pratt as a Navy SEAL that returns from a deadly mission overseas but has a fractured memory of what exactly happened and how culpable he was in the outcome. However, while investigating the mission, he finds that there are dark forces working behind-the-scenes.
As mentioned, Pratt is probably best known nowadays as the star of the “Guardians of the Galaxy” film franchise, as well as the star of the “Jurassic World” franchise. He most recently appeared in the global record-breaking film, “Avengers: Endgame” and is set to star in the upcoming film “Onward” from Pixar, as well as the action film “The Tomorrow War” coming out this Christmas.
Pratt has also previously worked with Fuqua on the much-maligned “The Magnificent Seven” remake film. Fuqua is probably best known for his work on films such as “Training Day,” “Southpaw,” and the two “Equalizer” films. His most recent work, an action film titled “Infinite,” will arrive in theaters later this year.
“The Terminal List” is set to begin production courtesy of studio MRC Television. No network has been listed, but this seriously has those streaming vibes doesn’t it? We’ll just have to see which platform lands the rights.
