The Terminal List Season 2: Release date rumors, cast updates and what to expect next
By Aman Shukla Published on July 2, 2025, 18:00 IST Last updated July 2, 2025, 11:00 IST Alright, The Terminal List fans, let's talk about Season 2. After that wild first season hit Amazon Prime Video back in July 2022, we've all been itching for more of Chris Pratt's Navy SEAL, James Reece, and his no-holds-barred mission. The show, based on Jack Carr's gritty novels, hooked us with its action and conspiracy vibes. Now, with Season 2 in the works, here's the latest scoop on when it might drop, who's coming back, and what's next for Reece. The Terminal List Season 2 Potential Release Date So, when can we expect to binge Season 2? Amazon gave the green light for a second season way back in February 2023, but we're still waiting on an official premiere date. Word on the street—or rather, posts on X and entertainment sites—says filming kicked off in Toronto in March 2025. They're supposedly wrapping up by late fall, maybe August or November 2025. Since Season 1 took about a year from filming to release, we're probably looking at mid-2026, like spring or summer, for Season 2 to land. The Terminal List Season 2 Expected Cast Season 1 didn't exactly leave a ton of survivors, but the core crew is back, and we've got some fresh talent joining the fray. Here's who to watch for: Chris Pratt as James Reece : Our guy Reece is back, still haunted but ready for more action. Pratt's been hyping up the season, saying it'll bring that same military grit with even more intensity. : Our guy Reece is back, still haunted but ready for more action.

Constance Wu as Katie Buranek : The journalist who helped Reece dig into the Season 1 conspiracy should return, especially since she's a big part of the books. : The journalist who helped Reece dig into the Season 1 conspiracy should return, especially since she's a big part of the books.

He's playing Raife in the prequel, and since Raife's a key figure in the book Season 2's based on, he might cross over. Taylor Kitsch as Ben Edwards: Ben's story ended rough in Season 1, but Kitsch is back for the Dark Wolf prequel, diving into his SEAL-to-CIA days. Pratt's also in the prequel, so we might see some timeline-crossing magic. Could we see Riley Keough or Arlo Mertz as Lauren and Lucy Reece? Maybe in flashbacks, since their Season 1 fates were heartbreaking. There's also buzz about new characters like Mohammed Farooq, possibly played by Dar Salim from the prequel. The Terminal List Season 2 Potential Plot Season 2's pulling from True Believer , the second book in Jack Carr's series. If Season 1 was all about revenge, this one's more of a global spy thriller. Reece is on the run, hiding out in Mozambique after Season 1's chaos. Then, a terrorist attack in London—a bomb at a holiday fair—flips the script. The CIA drags Reece back in to hunt down an Iraqi commando tied to the attacks. It's a wild ride across continents, with Reece dodging enemies and wrestling with his fugitive status. David DiGilio, the showrunner, says True Believer is a 'huge, epic story' that'll mix intense action with new twists to keep things fresh. Expect Reece to face some tough choices, maybe find a bit of redemption, and lean on new allies like Freddy Strain. The Dark Wolf prequel, focusing on Ben Edwards, will also tie in, setting up characters like Raife Hastings who could play a big role in Season 2.

Robbie Williams' key to the city award prompts rule overhaul at City of Melbourne
'There was a lot of issues with the process, conflict of interest, and ... approvals that I was seeking of who actually made decision wasn't available,' he said. 'Something so tremendous and valuable to the City of Melbourne should be not only made in secret, and not only should be made by a few, but it should be actually made by those who are elected.' Le Liu said decisions of this significance should not be made by Reece and Leighton alone. 'It should be a decision of council so that we have transparency,' he said. Being given a key to the city is a rare honour, with only 40 awarded in Melbourne's history. Past recipients include Australian icon Olivia Newton-John, philanthropist Dame Elisabeth Murdoch, boxing legend Muhammad Ali and US country singer Dolly Parton. Williams was the first person in seven years awarded the honour. Reece said he supported the motion and thanked Le Liu for ensuring more robust processes were put in place. 'The general rule that council will be going forward with is that the more meaningful, symbolic and rare the award, the more robust and considered the decision-making process should be,' Reece said at the meeting on Monday night. 'We do want to ensure that when council does make the decision to give somebody an award, that the community can know that there's been a robust process behind it.' Reece said this was good governance and something that he strongly supported. Loading 'I'm excited to explore more use of civic recognition awards over this council term,' he said. 'When Robbie Williams was awarded the keys to the city earlier this year, it was a truly magic moment for this city.' Councillor Gladys Liu attempted to move an amendment remove the award for LGBTIQA+ from the council's Melbourne Awards on the basis that 'the awards should be based on the contributions, the quality of the person, and it should not be based on sexuality'. Her amendment was supported by councillor Owen Guest but rejected by all other councillors. Councillor Davydd Griffiths said Liu's proposed amendment was horrible and warned it risked 'unlocking the culture wars here at Town Hall'. Loading The council meeting also considered the City of Melbourne's draft budget and $4.5 million of increased funding for bike lanes after the council received more than 1450 submissions from angry cyclists who said Reece had breached his election promise to maintain funding for cycling infrastructure. Reece said the updated four-year investment meant that the total put in by the city to cycling infrastructure was in line with the council's previous term. 'We've heard loud and clear about the importance of cycling safety, with close to 11 deaths on Melbourne roads from cycling accidents,' Reece said.

‘We've let the wolf into the den': Fresh allegations against Merivale raise further concerns
Reece said the City of Melbourne welcomed investment from Shanghai to Singapore and should also welcome investment from Sydney. 'Justin has served his apprenticeship in Sydney, where he has been very successful,' he said. 'He's now ready for the big time and taking on Australia's cultural and hospitality capital, Melbourne. He's ready to move from second division to the Premier League, and we welcome it.' After Monday's explosive revelations, The Age asked Reece whether he stood by his earlier comments. 'The allegations against Merivale should be properly investigated and responded to,' he said. However, council insiders have questioned whether the council should have embraced Merivale with such open arms in the first place. 'We've let the wolf into the den,' said one council insider, who requested anonymity to discuss internal matters. They said Melbourne's hospitality operators were furious that Merivale was able to amass cash in Sydney while Melbourne was in lockdown during the COVID-19 pandemic and then swoop in and buy such a prized asset at a cut price. Councillor Owen Guest raised concerns about the car park sale in February and said he was ropeable about the council's closed-door decision to sell the car park 'for a song'. Guest was one of three councillors to vote against the deal and said he had pushed for questions to be asked of Merivale. 'The investigation [published in this masthead] does concern me,' he said. 'Especially when it comes to what due diligence was done here at the Melbourne City Council because I did ask questions.' When asked last week whether the allegations against Merivale of sexual harassment, exploitation, drug use and the underpayment of staff concerned him, Reece defended the deal. Loading 'Justin Hemmes and Merivale stridently deny the allegations made in those reports,' he said. 'I have been advised that Merivale have in place very comprehensive workplace procedures that prioritise the safety and happiness of their workforce.' Reece flew to Sydney two weeks ago and met Hemmes for a tour of the Ivy, posting a photograph of the pair of them with arms around each other on his LinkedIn page. Last week Reece praised Hemmes' 'amazing hospitality and entertainment empire' while spruiking 'Merivale's biggest project ever, Parkade in Melbourne', raising eyebrows among some council insiders. 'I took the opportunity to tour the Ivy entertainment complex on George Street, I was mightily impressed by what I saw,' Reece said. 'It's an entire village of restaurants, bars, hospitality venues of different sizes and themes, and it all comes together brilliantly.' Reece said key politicians and staff at the City of Sydney had vouched for Merivale and Hemmes. 'When I met leading people in Sydney, whether that was the head of the business association, or Clover Moore, the lord mayor, or Chris Minns, the premier, they all spoke very positively of Justin Hemmes' impact on Sydney,' he said last week. On Monday, following further revelations regarding alleged underpayments of migrant workers, Reece clarified his position: 'The conversations I had with Lord Mayor of Sydney Clover Moore about Merivale were high level and extended only to matters relating to local government, such as planning and development applications.' Merivale has also faced opposition to the Parkade deal from the Melbourne Club, with the proposed development set to overlook the exclusive private garden of Melbourne's oldest men-only club. The Parkade plans include a Melbourne version of Coogee's Mimi's restaurant on its top floor – where patrons dine on caviar bumps – and another branch of Merivale's Italian restaurant, Totti's, which is in Bondi, Rozelle and Lorne. Melbourne Club has used a long-held option – a legally enforceable right – to acquire a 50 per cent stake in an existing lease of the car park from property giant Dexus. The lease has another 12 years to run, at a cost of $5.5 million. A source at Melbourne Club, which has observed a long-held convention of not discussing its affairs with the media, said it was unlikely to negotiate with Merivale to end the lease earlier than its 12-year term. Reece said he had not been party to any discussions between Melbourne Club, Merivale and Hemmes. 'I have spoken to people at the Melbourne Club who have told me that they are supportive of what Hemmes is proposing,' Reece said. 'I'm also aware that there are others at the club who have concerns.' Loading Reece said his understanding was Melbourne Club's committee of management overall had a 'positive disposition' towards Merivale's plans to develop the car park. 'I understand that there is an ongoing dialogue between Merivale, the Melbourne Club and Justin Hemmes, and that's a good thing,' he said. 'That's how it should be with a major project like this one.' Merivale's only operational outpost in Victoria is the Lorne Hotel, which houses the hospitality group's Italian trattoria, Totti's, in its lower level. Merivale bought the Lorne Hotel for $38 million in 2021, but plans to renovate the pub entirely have not progressed beyond the ground floor. In 2021, Merivale also purchased Flinders Street's Tomasetti House for $40 million, but the opening, originally slated for 2023, is three years behind schedule. In 2023, Merivale spent $15 million buying Kantay House at the top end of the CBD and next to the Parkade carpark, which houses independently owned Argentinian steak restaurant San Telmo and pizza restaurant and hidden bar Pizza Pizza Pizza. The purchase of the Parkade car park for $55 million brings Merivale's total investment in Melbourne to $110 million over five years, without opening a venue. In an interview with this masthead in 2023, Hemmes said he had a special affinity with Melbourne.
