Chris Pratt will reprise his role as former Navy SEAL James Reece in an upcoming Amazon series titled Savage Son. The new project adapts the third novel in Jack Carr's The Terminal List book series. While industry insiders have not confirmed whether the show will count as a third season of the original series, sources indicate it is more likely to function as a standalone spinoff.
The plot centers on Reece facing a mission described as his most personal and dangerous yet. The series blends military action, espionage, and wilderness survival. It explores the tension between civilization and primal instincts when survival becomes a personal matter. Pratt’s character is a sniper who must navigate these high-stakes scenarios.
Amazon MGM Studios, MRC, and Civic Center Media are producing the new installment. The Terminal List franchise already includes two other television productions. The original series debuted in 2022, and its second season premiered on Oct. 21, 2026. A prequel titled The Terminal List: Dark Wolf aired in 2025. Taylor Kitsch starred in that prequel as CIA operative and former SEAL Ben Edwards.
Peter Friedlander, head of global television for Amazon MGM Studios, commented on the expansion of the franchise. He stated that Carr’s work connects with audiences through the power of his storytelling. Friedlander also credited Pratt and the production team for their dedication to every episode. He noted that the franchise continues to resonate with viewers.
Friedlander added that Savage Son represents the most intense chapter in the story so far. The series expands the existing universe by introducing new narrative elements from Carr’s literary works. The production team is currently developing the show for a future release on the streaming platform.
