His conspiracy thriller seriesThe Terminal List, based on the book by Jack Carr,received a 94% Rotten Tomatoes audience score and has risen to the #6 spoton Prime Video’s streaming charts in the U.S.
Why The Terminal List Is So Popular 3 Years After Its Release
Its Prequel Series Dark Wolf Will Be Released In August
The Terminal Listis currently at #6 on Prime Video’s streaming charts in the U.S., 3 years after its original debut. Its rising popularity on streaming is mainly due to the prequel seriesThe Terminal List: Dark Wolf, which isset to premiere on June 19, 2025.
Dark Wolfis not technicallyThe Terminal Listseason 2but instead will be a prequel series that focuses on Taylor Kitsch’s character, Ben Edwards. Those who have seenThe Terminal Listseason 1 know all aboutBen Edwards and his relationship with Pratt’s protagonist, James Reece.
The Terminal List: Dark Wolfwill chronicleEdwards' journey from retiring as a Navy SEAL to becoming a CIA operative. Pratt’s James Reece is slated to be featured in Dark Wolf but not as extensively as he was in the original season.
Dark Wolfwill also feature performances byLuke Hemsworth, Tom Hooper, Robert Wisdom, and Wona-Lee Shimon.The prequel series will debut its first three of seven episodes on July 16, 2025, followed by weekly releases slated throughout September.
Viewers Are Rewatching Season 1 Or Checking It Out For The First Time
The Terminal Listis essentially required viewing before digging intoDark Wolfin August, so the recent surge makes sense for those who are either checking the series out for the first time or rewatching to freshen up after a three-year gap.
Some shows rely more on their viewership than critical reception to stay alive, andThe Terminal Listis certainly one of those series.
The Terminal List: Dark Wolfshould be an end-of-summer streaming hit for Amazon Prime Video based onThe Terminal Listseason 1’s viewership. That said,critics were widely opposed toThe Terminal Listseason 1, resulting in a surprisingly low Rotten Tomatoes audience score of just 40%.
Despite season 1’s lack of critical acclaim, Pratt, who is also an executive producer on both series, is doubling down withDark Wolfand the anticipated second season. Some shows rely more on their viewership than critical reception to stay alive, andThe Terminal Listis certainly one of those series.
