Following the success of its predecessor, The Terminal List: Dark Wolf, the franchise is growing. Ben Edwards, played by Taylor Kitsch, is the main character in the prequel, which focuses on his background and missions before the events of the main series.

The second season of the main show is currently being developed. It is mainly based on Jack Carr's second book, True Believer, and follows James Reece on his international mission to bring down a dangerous terrorist group. While the emphasis remains on character development, this season promises more action and stakes than the previous one. Expect to see Reece battle with serious mental and physical challenges.

By the end of the first season, Reece had achieved his goal despite making several personal sacrifices. After surviving the attack that devastated his SEAL team and losing his wife and kid, he uncovers a scheme involving an experimental drug called RD4895. On his team, the drug was used to prevent PTSD, but an unconsented trial resulted in memory loss and brain cancer. The cover-up, orchestrated by Capstone Industries and government authorities, heightened tensions for future events.

Additionally, the show's creators, Chris Pratt and Jack Carr, have hinted at spinoff ideas, and the Reece and Hastings families may be the subject of future tales, and other book characters may be the subject of future television shows. Carr's next book, Cry Havoc, may also be adapted, and Dark Wolf may go on. In order to provide fans a more comprehensive understanding of the world of Navy SEALs and clandestine missions, the objective is to establish a connected Terminal List universe with several plotlines and characters.

As per Screenrant, Pratt stated:

"I'm down to do this for a really long time. We've got tons of ideas for spinoffs, for various characters. Jack Carr's an incredibly prolific author. He's got seven books so far, an eighth book coming out called Cry Havoc based on Tom Reece, so there's talk of doing a Cry Havoc series, there's talk of doing more Dark Wolf, there's talk of doing more The Terminal List. And I mean we just want to keep expanding the Jack Carr cinematic universe, tie 'em all together and create something, because it's unlike anything else on tv and I want to keep going."

Adding to this, Jack Carr said:

"From the very beginning I was very cognizant, very deliberately putting in these two families, the Reece family and the Hastings family, with backstories for their fathers and grandfathers that would be worth exploring in more depth. And I wanted to make sure they were interesting and made sure I could seed those very early on."

The franchise is rapidly growing. This is being done with new Dark Wolf episodes broadcast every week, and Season 2is now in production. Because of its intense plots, gripping character development, and stunning action, the series is popular among fans of action and military dramas. With the expansion of the Terminal List world, viewers may anticipate increasingly difficult missions, poignant themes, and new stories.
