'Terminal List' Thread #2

Production begins: March 2021
Scheduled release date: TBA

Taylor Kitsch will star alongside Chris Pratt in Amazon’s television adaptation of Jack Carr’s bestselling novel “The Terminal List,” Variety has confirmed. The series is a co-production from Amazon Studios and Civic Center Media in association with MRC Television. The “Friday Night Lights” actor will play Ben Edwards, a former Navy SEAL and the best friend of James Reece, played by Pratt. “The Terminal List” follows Reece after his entire platoon of SEALS is ambushed during a high-stakes covert mission. When Reece returns home to his family, he questions his own culpability with muddled memories of the event. However, as new evidence comes to light, Reece discovers dark forces working against him. Edwards uses his CIA Ground Branch access and operator skillset to help Reece seek his vengeance. The series is executive produced by Pratt and Jon Schumacher through Indivisible Productions, Antonia Fuqua through Fuqua Films and writer Daniel Shattuck. Carr is also attached to executive produce, as well as showrunner and writer David DiGilio. The show was first reported as being in development last February, with Amazon ordering it to series last May. For the small screen, Kitsch most recently portrayed cult leader David Koresh in Paramount Networks’ “Waco,” which he also executive produced. Prior to that, he starred in HBO’s “True Detective” with Colin Farrell, Rachel McAdams and Vince Vaughn. Up next, Kitsch will star in StudioCanal TV’s “Shadowplay,” in which he headlines along with Michael C. Hall and Logan Marshall-Green. Kitsch is repped by Untitled Entertainment and Range Media Partners. Deadline first reported the casting announcement.

Yes, his fingers were missing the tattoos when they were on the boat.


But definitely there in other scenes we've seen him in.

[SouthernSweetieTX]

That's fun. We'll have to see how it plays out in the series.

I thought for sure the boat scene they were filming in Lake Arrowhead was a very specific scene which would take place later in the book but maybe not.

Could be an over site on the tattoos? A movie oops.

[worthyoflove]

That's my guess? I don't know.

Patiently waiting for a teaser trailer and/or release date.

I'm hopeful for January 2022. Is that too soon? I don't think so.

[worthyoflove]

It doesn't seem too soon. TV always moves so much faster.

[SouthernSweetieTX]

I’m holding out for January!

[worthyoflove]

That would be nice!

I did see that Chris is pulling in 1.4 million an episode on this series. Amazon pays.

That’s nice.

Brought to my attention it's not on the fall schedule so looks like we're definitely looking at 2022, which we kind of knew already.

That would have been a super-fast turn around.

[worthyoflove]

With TV it's not that unusual. I forgot that it's going to be on Amazon Prime...that means we're going to have to suffer through weekly releases. Which in some cases I like because I can't roll through it in like 24 hours but in some ways...ugh, I'm more of a binge person.
