The upcoming prequel series dives deep into the past of Ben Edwards (Taylor Kitsch), offering fans a gritty look at the events that shaped one of the franchise's most complicated characters. Set years before the events of the original series led by Chris Pratt's James Reece, 'Dark Wolf' trades covert operations for explosive chaos, showing the moral compromises and haunting choices that turned Edwards into the man viewers met in 'The Terminal List.' In the trailer, a voiceover says, 'I need two shooters for a time sensitive op. I'm offering you a chance to finish what you started, and to keep your brothers from danger.' It all builds to a chilling final line: 'The only way out is right through it.' From intense shootouts to hand-to-hand combat, the trailer shows just how brutal this origin story really is, and it doesn't look like it holds back when it comes to the emotional toll of war.

'Co-created by The New York Times bestselling author of The Terminal List, Jack Carr, and Season One creator-showrunner David DiGilio, The Terminal List: Dark Wolf is a prequel series with an origin story that follows Ben Edwards (Taylor Kitsch) throughout his journey from the Navy SEALs to the clandestine side of CIA Special Operations. 'The series is an espionage thriller that explores the darker side of warfare and the human cost that comes with it. It also features Chris Pratt reprising his role as James Reece.'

Behind the scenes, real military veterans have had a hand in shaping the story — as writers, actors, advisors, and executive producers — helping to ensure the show captures the mindset, camaraderie, and moral gray areas that come with life in Special Operations. At the end of 'The Terminal List,' James Reece uncovers a deadly conspiracy that links his team's ambush and his family's murder to a failed government drug trial. One by one, he eliminates those responsible — including close friend Ben Edwards, who betrayed him for money. When speaking with USA Today, Kitsch said: 'This is the origin story. This is the story that gets us to that point. There was so much heat around Edwards with that twist and all these questions about how. You're going to learn a heck of a lot more about who Ben really is and these twists and turns that led to that decision.'

Other cast members include Dar Salim as Mohammed Farooq, Rona-Lee Shimon as Eliza Perash, Shiraz Tzarfati as Tal Varon, and Jared Shaw as Ernest 'Boozer' Vickers, with several more names rounding out the ensemble. This show also brings together an impressive team behind the scenes, with Kitsch and Pratt both serving as executive producers. The series is also executive produced by returning showrunner David DiGilio, original author Jack Carr, and director Antoine Fuqua alongside Kat Samick via Hill District Media.
