Chris Pratt is set to reprise his role as former Navy SEAL James Reece in a new Amazon series titled 'Savage Son.' The project will adapt the third novel in Jack Carr's 'The Terminal List' book series. Pratt will lead the cast as the character faces a mission described as his most personal and dangerous to date.
Industry sources indicate that 'Savage Son' will function as a standalone project rather than the third season of the original 'The Terminal List' series. This distinction clarifies its place within the growing franchise, which already includes the main show and a prequel. The new series is currently in development under that specific standalone status.
Amazon MGM Studios, MRC, and Civic Center Media are producing the new thriller. The story is described as a blend of military action, espionage, and wilderness survival. It focuses on the thin line between civilization and primal survival instincts when a mission becomes deeply personal for the protagonist.
Peter Friedlander, head of global television for Amazon MGM Studios, praised the connection the franchise has built with viewers. He credited Jack Carr's storytelling and the dedication of Pratt and the production team for the series' success. Friedlander stated that the franchise continues to resonate while 'Savage Son' takes the narrative into its most intense chapter.
The 'Terminal List' universe has expanded significantly since its start. The original series debuted in 2022, and its second season premiered on October 21, 2026. In 2025, Amazon released the prequel 'The Terminal List: Dark Wolf,' which starred Taylor Kitsch as CIA operative Ben Edwards. Kitsch is also set to reprise that role in the new project.
