Amazon has become a go-to source for exciting action shows, with hits like Reacher and Tom Clancy’s Jack Ryan. They’re continuing to expand their offerings, adding more thrilling series every year, making Prime Video a great place to find fantastic action TV.
Amazon Prime Video has a great selection of action shows, including hits like Reacher, Jack Ryan, The Boys, and Citadel. While the action genre can be hit or miss, Amazon has consistently delivered high-quality series.
While not every action series on Amazon is a masterpiece, the quality is consistently strong, and they’ve produced several truly outstanding shows recently. With The Terminal List, Amazon continues to excel in the action genre, and they’ve even successfully launched a new franchise based on the series.
The action series The Terminal List debuted in 2022, featuring Chris Pratt as James Reece, a Navy SEAL whose team falls into a trap during a secret operation. A prequel called The Terminal List: Dark Wolf introduces Ben Edwards, played by Taylor Kitsch, and revisits some characters from the first series.
The Terminal List Extends Amazon’s Dominance Of The Action Genre
Amazon Prime Video has added another success to its lineup with The Terminal List. Although critics weren’t impressed, the first season of the eight-episode show was popular enough to earn a second season, which finished filming in October 2025.
The first season of this series takes a little while to get going, which is common for new shows. However, it has potential, largely thanks to its strong cast. Action movie fans know that a great cast can really make up for a weak plot.
While some criticize The Terminal List for being overly complex, violent, and taking itself too seriously, these qualities actually create a strong base for a potential action series that any streaming service would want. The first spin-off suggests the creators are now better understanding the story and characters.
The Terminal List: Dark Wolf Might Be Even Better Than The Original
The Terminal List: Dark Wolf is a spin-off and prequel to The Terminal List, first released in August 2025. This new story features a shift in roles: Chris Pratt moves from the lead to a supporting character, while Jay Kitsch, who had a supporting role in the original, now takes center stage.
The Terminal List: Dark Wolf follows Ben Edwards’ experiences as a Navy SEAL and CIA operative, offering a realistic portrayal of the emotional toll of war on those who fight it. Chris Kitsch delivers a standout performance, marking another high point in the actor’s impressive career comeback.
The show definitely features the strong sense of camaraderie often found in military culture, but Dark Wolf explores how that loyalty can be exploited, turning someone into a pawn for those with bad intentions. The Terminal List is already a solid addition to Amazon’s lineup, and a second season has the potential to make it truly outstanding.
