Countdown: Eric Dane Weighs In on Team's First Big Loss — and Who Is Most Affected by It
The following contains spoilers from the July 2 episode of Prime Video's . Task Force Hurricane weathered a big loss this Wednesday. More from TVLine Ironheart Boss Talks About [Spoiler] Finally Joining the MCU, and Where/If Finale Cliffhanger Will Get Resolved The Terminal List: Dark Wolf Drops First Trailer Ahead of August Premiere on Amazon Étoile Cast Shares Disappointment About Ballet Dramedy's Cancellation, Wants to 'Celebrate the Fact That It Existed' Yes, Prime Video's Countdown last week opened with — and was set in motion by — the murder of a DHS agent, played by guest star Milo Ventimiglia. But in Episode 4, the task force assembled by Special Agent in Charge Nathan Blythe (Euphoria's Eric Dane) — comprised of LAPD detective Mark Meachum (Supernatural's Jensen Ackles), DEA undercover vet Amber Oliveras (All Rise's Jessica Camacho), LAPD gangs unit officer Lucas Finau (Young Rock's Uli Latukefu), and FBI agents Evan Shepherd (The Flash's Violett Beane) and Keyonte Bell (The Boys' Elliot Knight) — sustained a personal loss when DHS intelligence offer Damon Drew (The Chosen's Jonathan Togo) died from the gunshot he sustained outside the dance hall where Meachum had unknowingly come face to face with prime target Volchek. 'Officer Drew… Damon… died in surgery,' Blythe shared with the team in the cold open, after getting the bad news from the doctors. 'They said he lost too much blood. They did everything they could, but….' Afterwards, Blythe brought Shepherd with him as he delivered the death notification to Drew's wife Cora (Dexter: Original Sin's Amanda Brooks). Later, back at HQ, he reminded the team of who Drew was, and how now was not the time to fall off Volchek's scent. 'Damon Drew was a man who loved his family, his job, his country…,' Blythe noted. 'He knew the pressures and the dangers, and the relentlessness of chasing down threats who wished to do harm to the United States… and he did so with grace and determination.' Blythe suggested that the task force had already disrupted Volchek's plans, and as such, 'Now is not the time to retreat.' Rather, 'I'd like us to focus and be the elite task force I know we can be. Can we do that?' The team implicitly nodded en masse, but how will Blythe himself hold up? After all, the little we'd gotten to know about Mason was via glimpses of him coaching his late son's Little League team, or through brief heart-to-hearts with longtime friend Blythe. Speaking with TVLine, Eric Dane affirmed that his team leader 'absolutely' will be the one most impacted by Mason's death. Speaking in character, he reminded, 'I had worked with Drew for a while, I knew his family, I knew his child, I knew his history….' As asked by their boss, Meachum, Oliveras et al indeed kept their nose to the grindstone and — with a clever assist from Shepherd, who realized she favored POI Mihail's co-ed daughter — leveraged the man who shot Mason into setting up a meeting with Volchek. Alas, the team staking out the tarmac that night was duped by a stand-in for the elusive terrorist. Ugh. In the wake of that setback, Blythe told the team, 'Every investigation I've been a part of has had its peaks and valleys. This is a valley, for sure, but we're going to find this guy, and we're going to stop him.' He then invited Cora, who was on hand for the installation of a plaque in Agent Mason's memory, to inspire the team further. 'I wanted look you in the eye and tell you that what Drew would want, what I want, is for you to finish what he started,' she said.

Prime Video teases brutal origin story in first trailer for 'The Terminal List' prequel series — here's what you should know
The world of 'The Terminal List' is expanding, and if the first Prime Video trailer for 'Dark Wolf' is anything to go by, things are about to get even darker. 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. While Pratt doesn't take center stage this time, his presence is still made obvious in the teaser, reminding fans that these stories are deeply connected. Whether you're a fan of the original series or just love a military thriller, 'Dark Wolf' looks like it could be another hit for the streaming service. Here's everything you need to know before it lands on Prime Video on August 27, 2025. A few weeks ago, Prime Video released a batch of first-look images, and while this press release kept most of the plot under wraps, the photos did give us a glimpse at the core cast. Now, with this new trailer, it seems like more of the narrative has been revealed. Get instant access to breaking news, the hottest reviews, great deals and helpful tips. The series dives into Edwards' backstory, tracing his journey from a disciplined Navy SEAL to a covert CIA operative, and uncovering the path that led him deep into the web of corruption central to 'The Terminal List.' It also shows his early connection with James Reece (a bond rooted in loyalty and shared experience) while revealing the choices and circumstances that hardened him into the conflicted man fans came to know. As his moral compass begins to falter, the story underscores a key theme of the franchise: that even the most principled soldiers can be broken by grief, ambition, and the seduction of power. The plot synopsis reads: '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.' Kitsch said in an interview with USA Today: '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.' The prequel series brings together an impressive supporting cast, with Tom Hopper stepping into the role of Raife Hastings, Robert Wisdom playing Jed Haverford, and Luke Hemsworth appearing as Jules Landry. Joining them are Dar Salim as Mohammed Farooq, Rona-Lee Shimon as Eliza Perash, Shiraz Tzarfati as Tal Varon, and Jared Shaw as Ernest 'Boozer' Vickers, along with a number of other familiar faces filling out the ensemble. Following the breakout success of 'The Terminal List,' season 2 is officially in production, with Chris Pratt set to return as Reece. So it seems like this prequel series is arriving at the perfect time. With 'Dark Wolf' expanding the unflinching universe of 'The Terminal List,' Prime Video is doubling down on the franchise's intense action and fan-favorite characters. If the first trailer is any indication, viewers should brace themselves for what could be another brutal ride. 'The Terminal List: Dark Wolf' premieres with three episodes on August 27 on Prime Video, with new episodes dropping every Wednesday after that.
