Taylor Kitsch Promises The Terminal List: Dark Wolf Season 2 Will Go Way Darker — You Won’t Believe What’s Coming
No renewal yet for The Terminal List: Dark Wolf, but Taylor Kitsch says season 2 already has a hard outline—and the next chapter dives even darker.
Prime Video dropped The Terminal List: Dark Wolf last month, and even though the prequel hasn’t been renewed for season 2 yet, Taylor Kitsch is already talking like there’s a roadmap—and it’s not exactly sunshine and puppies.
Where things stand
- Dark Wolf is a prequel to The Terminal List, tracking Ben Edwards (Taylor Kitsch) from Navy SEAL to CIA operative.
- The series is set seven years before The Terminal List, which gives the creative team a lot of room to play with Ben’s backstory.
- Kitsch told Entertainment Weekly there’s a hard outline for a potential season 2, even though Prime Video hasn’t ordered it yet.
- If it happens, season 2 would push the story into a darker place as Ben spirals toward the choices he makes in The Terminal List season 1.
- Meanwhile, the main The Terminal List series has already been renewed for season 2.
The pitch for season 2: darker, messier, more Ben
Kitsch isn’t coy about where he wants to take this character if they get another run. The plan is to really lean into the cost of service and the choices that break a person. In other words, if season 1 showed how Ben becomes useful, season 2 would show how he becomes dangerous—to others and to himself. Inside baseball detail here: that seven-year gap is intentional runway so they can line up Ben’s arc with the stuff we already know from The Terminal List.
"We have a pretty hard outline of where Ben's gonna go if we're lucky enough to do season 2. We get way darker and you're finally gonna see Ben truly fall."
How the show is playing
Our review dug Dark Wolf more than the original series. The prequel comes off more engaging and balanced, gives Kitsch the kind of showcase he doesn’t always get, and avoids the chest-thumping that sometimes weighed down The Terminal List. It still dives into the politics and the ways the military-industrial machine can twist good intentions, and it isn’t shy about the grit or the violence. Bottom line: it’s a sharper, more fun watch that still scratches the action itch—and it even boosted our excitement for The Terminal List season 2 with Chris Pratt back at the center.
Dark Wolf hasn’t been renewed yet, but the team clearly has a path mapped out. Would you want to see season 2 follow Ben all the way down?
