Who stars in The Terminal List Season 2?

The Season 2 cast features Chris Pratt as James Reece, Tom Hopper as Raife Hastings, Dar Salim as Mohammed Farooq, Gabriel Luna as Freddy Strain, Constance Wu as Katie Buranek, and Luke Hemsworth as Jules Landry.

Season 2 will also feature an expanded international cast including Costa Ronin, Olga Kurylenko, Yul Vazquez, Martin Sensmeier, Arnold Vosloo, Shiraz Tzarfati, and more.

Back in May 2025, Variety announced that Gabriel Luna (The Last of Us) would join the cast in a recurring role as the character Freddy. According to the description, Freddy is a former SEAL Team 6 Senior Chief and current officer with the CIA’s Ground Branch. He is a man of two worlds – equal parts elite sniper and dedicated family man. His belief that James Reece survived the events of The Terminal List Season 1 will pull the ‘Most Wanted Man on the Planet’ out of hiding and back into the fray. Reece shows Freddy that desperate times can call for operating outside the lines, while Freddy’s commitment to family, country, and cause will help guide Reece on his path to redemption.”

Hemsworth plays the character of Jules Landry in the prequel series The Terminal List: Dark Wolf, a slightly arrogant CIA contractor with a bit of a volatile personality.

When talking to Josh Horowitz on the Happy, Sad, Confused podcast, Pratt also talked about a little fantasy casting involving his father-in-law, Arnold Schwarzenegger. “Have you ever seriously talked about doing a movie together? You and your father-in-law?” asked Horowitz. “It would be so epic and amazing.”

“Honestly, I would love to incorporate Arnold in The Terminal List,” admitted Pratt. “If you follow some of the books, there’s a couple of characters, one in particular — I’m not going to say who it is, but fans of the book will know who it is — I haven’t even spoken to Arnold about that, but I could see him playing this character. I think it would be so f***ing epic.”

What is The Terminal List Season 2 about?

In the new trailer, it is revealed that a new terrorist attack in London brings Reece back into the fold as the only man who can go toe-to-toe with former friend and ally Mohammed “Mo” Farooq (Dar Salim), a former Iraqi Special Operations Forces (ISOF) officer last seen in The Terminal List: Dark Wolf. He’s now accused of perpetrating an attack using skills he learned from the CIA’s elite Scorpions training program, more specifically, from Reece himself. In exchange for hunting down Mo, Reece will get a full pardon. There is a lot on the line for Reece, as his history once again comes back to haunt him.

“For those who are fans of Taylor Kitsch’s Ben Edwards, I’m happy to say that we’re also working on a spinoff series that will delve deeper into his story and follow his journey from a Navy SEAL to a CIA operative,” Pratt said when the show was announced in February 2023. “And to make it even more exciting, I will also be appearing in this prequel series! I promise you it will be just as thrilling and engaging as The Terminal List.”

Added Kitsch at the time, ‘Thank you to all the fans for believing in this show. We wouldn’t be here without your support. I’m excited to continue this wild ride that is Ben Edwards and bring to life Jack Carr’s amazing stories.”
