What turns a decorated Navy SEAL into a man willing to cross the darkest lines? The Terminal List: Dark Wolf takes viewers deep into the past of Ben Edwards, delivering a gripping military thriller filled with covert missions, dangerous alliances and decisions that can destroy even the strongest bonds of brotherhood.

Starring Taylor Kitsch as Ben Edwards, the series serves as a prequel to The Terminal List, exploring the events that shape Ben long before the original series. Once a trusted Navy SEAL, Ben finds himself drawn into the shadowy world of CIA special operations, where the rules of conventional warfare no longer seem to apply.

Set several years before the events of the original series, the story follows Ben and fellow Navy SEAL Raife Hastings (Tom Hopper) as a mission in Iraq leads them toward a dangerous international conspiracy. What initially appears to be another operation soon raises troubling questions about loyalty, intelligence agencies and the people pulling the strings behind the scenes.

As Ben becomes more deeply involved in covert operations, the distinction between right and wrong begins to blur. Every assignment carries a price, and the choices he makes threaten to change not only his career but also the person he becomes. The brotherhood that once defined his life is tested as trust becomes harder to maintain and survival demands increasingly difficult sacrifices.

Chris Pratt also returns as James Reece, connecting the prequel to the original series and expanding the story of this brutal military universe. The cast additionally includes Luke Hemsworth, Dar Salim and Robert Wisdom.

Created by Jack Carr and David DiGilio, The Terminal List: Dark Wolf combines intense combat sequences with a psychological exploration of warfare and its lasting consequences. Rather than simply delivering another action-packed spy story, it asks how far a soldier can go before the mission changes him forever.

For viewers who wondered how Ben Edwards became the complicated and dangerous figure seen in The Terminal List, this prequel offers a deeper look at the loyalties, betrayals and moral compromises behind his transformation.

Because in the world of Dark Wolf, surviving the mission may be possible — but coming out of it as the same person is another matter entirely.
