The Terminal List: Dark Wolf Season 1 Episode 5: Release date news, time, streaming details and more

The Terminal List: Dark Wolf has become one of Prime Video’s most thrilling spy dramas. A prequel to The Terminal List, the series departs from James Reece’s psychological revenge saga and dives into the world of Navy SEAL Ben Edwards. Set in 2015, the show follows his fall from glory as a decorated soldier to a covert operative caught up in shadowy missions and shaky alliances.

Beginning with its explosive premiere, which uncovered treachery in Mosul and its revolting twist in Episode 4, the series has effectively blended gritty realism with blockbuster spectacle. It has gained a reputation for mixing espionage with a moral grey area. Set to release on September 10, Episode will give answers to whether Edward can handle the betrayal as his group faces increased peril throughout Europe and the Middle East.

The Terminal List: Dark Wolf Episode 5 release date, time, and streaming details

The Terminal List: Dark Wolf Episode 5 titled "E&E" comes at 12:00 a.m. PT and 3:00 a.m. ET on September 10. Viewers can stream it exclusively on Amazon Prime Video. Fans from the United Kingdom, Canada, and Australia will also be able to stream it concurrently. The synopsis of the episode, as per Rotten Tomatoes, reads:

"Navy SEAL Ben Edwards becomes involved in a risky CIA operation; as he finds himself increasingly entangled in moral grey areas, an internal struggle erupts between his light and dark sides."

The release strategy is meant to preserve momentum with new episodes releasing weekly until the finale on September 24. After leaving off last time with Ben shot by Eliza’s betrayal, Episode 5 is set to send him down an even more perilous path as Raife’s interrogation methods bring out the murkier aspects of espionage.

The Terminal List: Dark Wolf cast and team

Taylor Kitsch leads the series as Ben Edwards with Tom Hopper as Raife Hastings, Dar Salim as Mo Farooq, Luke Hemsworth as Jules Landry, Robert Wisdom as Jed Haverford, and Rona-Lee Shimon as Eliza Perash. Chris Pratt winks in and out as James Reece, linking the prequel with the original.

The series, created by Jack Carr and David Digilio, was directed by Paul Cameron, Liz Friedlander, and Frederick E. O. Toye. In an interview with US Today, Jack Carr, who is also an author and has had his fair share of time in the Navy Seals, explained:

“I like to weave literature into the pages of my novels, which we've adopted to the TV series. You tip your hat to the authors who made you what you are.”

This combination of battlefield realism, action design, and literary slant makes the series’ immersive aspect.

The Terminal List: Dark Wolf storyline and themes explored

The Terminal List: Dark Wolf follows Edwards on his mission in Mosul, in which a suicide bomber obliterates his entire unit and sends his career into a downward spiral. Disgraced, he and Raife are recruited into service by the CIA and Mossad for a clandestine operation to halt the nuclear program. They zip across Europe on these missions, and deceit becomes the only constant.

Episode 4, The Sound of Guns, explored the result of misplaced trust. Ben’s trust in Eliza ultimately proved to be his undoing, just as the bigger picture of duplicity behaviour helped define his arc. Raife’s suspicion of Haverford and Ben only fueled the atmosphere and showed the first signs of cracks in their team.

Episode 5 will deepen this spiral, revealing how betrayal has influenced Ben’s actions, pushing him farther down the path toward the morally ambiguous man he becomes in The Terminal List.

As Episode 5 approaches, the show offers no shortage of contemplation on whether Ben’s arrogance and lack of regard for protocol are what will ultimately undo him. The Terminal List: Dark Wolf continues to be a high-speed, traitor-heavy thriller and asks viewers to think about just how loyal one can be when survival is the only mission.
