Chris Pratt To Star In Antoine Fuqua’s Thriller Series ‘Terminal List’

Director Antoine Fuqua has tapped Chris Pratt to star in Terminal List, the upcoming action thriller series based on the novel by Jack Carr.

The production will be Pratt’s first major television role in five years since his involvement in NBC’s sitcom Parks and Recreation which ended its run in 2015.

Terminal List follows the character Reece whose platoon of Navy SEALs is ambushed during a high-stakes covert mission. He returns home with troubling memories of the episode and as new evidence comes to light he discovers dark forces working against him.

The description from the novel reads:

A Navy SEAL has nothing left to live for and everything to kill for after he discovers that the American government is behind the deaths of his team in this ripped-from-the-headlines political thriller.

On his last combat deployment, Lieutenant Commander James Reece’s entire team was killed in a catastrophic ambush that also claimed the lives of the aircrew sent in to rescue them. But when those dearest to him are murdered on the day of his homecoming, Reece discovers that this was not an act of war by a foreign enemy but a conspiracy that runs to the highest levels of government.

Now, with no family and free from the military’s command structure, Reece applies the lessons that he’s learned in over a decade of constant warfare toward avenging the deaths of his family and teammates. With breathless pacing and relentless suspense, Reece ruthlessly targets his enemies in the upper echelons of power without regard for the laws of combat or the rule of law.

This marks the second time that Pratt and Fuqua are working together as they collaborated in 2016 on the remake of the classic western The Magnificent Seven.
