The Terminal List: Dark Wolf season 1 takes a step back, chronicling Ben Edwards’ early years as a Navy SEAL and his eventual recruitment into the CIA. The series reveals the events that led him to betray James Reece, which became a pivotal twist in the original series.

This prequel will highlight the darker psychological toll of covert operations, with a narrative that delves into betrayal, brotherhood, and clandestine warfare. While the original Terminal List focused on Reece’s journey of revenge, Dark Wolf focuses on Ben Edwards’s moral unraveling.

Key themes include:

  • The transformation of Ben Edwards from soldier to spy.
  • His complex relationship with James Reece.
  • Insights into covert CIA operations.
  • The emergence of key antagonists like Mohammed Farooq.
  • The early threads of the conspiracy are introduced in The Terminal List season 1.

Though Chris Pratt appears in a supporting role, his presence reinforces the continuity and bridges both series. The timeline of The Terminal List: Dark Wolf season 1 takes place entirely before Reece’s mission in Syria, which sparked the events of the main series.
