Chris Pratt Cast in Antoine Fuqua’s Conspiracy Action Thriller Series THE TERMINAL LIST
Chris Pratt is set to star in a new conspiracy action thriller series from director Antoine Fuqua titled The Terminal List, which will be an adaptation of the novel by Jack Carr.
The story follows a character named Reece, “whose entire platoon of Navy SEALs is ambushed during a high-stakes covert mission. As he returns home with conflicting memories of the event and questions about culpability, new evidence comes to light as Reece discovers dark forces working against him.”
This project will be Pratt’s first major TV role in five years since NBC’s hilarious sitcom Parks and Recreation, which ended in 2015. Here’s the description from the novel:
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 is the second project that Pratt and Fuqua have worked on together. They previously worked on the 2016 remake of the classic western The Magnificent Seven. The Terminal List seems like it will be a great project for both of them. I enjoy watching stories like this, so I’ll be looking forward to this.
