How did a former Navy SEAL end up in the CIA? Only part of Ben Edwards’ story was told in “The Terminal List.” James Reece’s best friend was a key part of its run, but there were lingering questions after the finale. Now, Prime Video is going back in time for a prequel focusing on this crucial character. “The Terminal List: Dark Wolf” follows Edwards from his time as a Navy SEAL to his work with CIA Special Operations.
The upcoming series prides itself on authenticity, something that is a hallmark of the burgeoning franchise. Military operations are just one aspect that benefits from this approach. ‘Dark Wolf’ also offers a realistic look at the physical and emotional aspects that many face while serving. A major factor in this sense of realism comes from its many veterans, both in front of the camera and behind the scenes.
Taylor Kitsch once again portrays Ben Edwards, with Chris Pratt returning as James Reece. Other ‘Dark Wolf’ cast members include Tom Hopper, Robert Wisdom, Luke Hemsworth, Dar Salim, Rona-Lee Shimon, Shiraz Tzarfati, and Jared Shaw.
