Chris Pratt returns as James Reece in Prime Video's 'Savage Son' series

Prime Video has ordered "Savage Son," a new drama in "The Terminal List" franchise, with Chris Pratt again playing former Navy SEAL James Reece.

The series adapts Jack Carr's novel of the same name, the third book in his Reece series. Carr's first novel, "The Terminal List," became the basis for the show's first season, and his second, "True Believer," was adapted for Season 2.

Amazon has not said whether "Savage Son" will be presented as the third season of "The Terminal List" or as a separate project. Variety, citing unnamed sources, reported that a standalone show is the more likely outcome. The franchise already has one standalone entry, the prequel "The Terminal List: Dark Wolf," in which Taylor Kitsch reprised his role as CIA operative and former SEAL Ben Edwards.

The Hollywood Reporter reported that Prime Video has not yet decided whether to renew "The Terminal List" itself.

The order arrives about two weeks after the main show returned on Oct. 21 with its second season, four years after it first premiered in 2022. Despite the long gap, the new season drew 830 million minutes of viewing for the week of Oct. 19-25.

Amazon's description says Reece "faces his most personal and dangerous mission yet," and calls the show "a gripping blend of military action, espionage, and wilderness survival."

In Carr's book, a traitorous CIA officer has taken shelter with the Russian mafia and is plotting to kill Reece. Reece, meanwhile, is recovering from brain surgery in the Montana wilderness where he grew up. Investigative journalist Katie Buranek and his longtime friend and fellow SEAL Raife Hastings help him rebuild his life. With someone inside the U.S. government compromised by Russian intelligence, Reece assembles a team of former commandos and takes the fight to the mafia on its own turf.

On the main series, Buranek is played by Constance Wu and Hastings by Tom Hopper. The novel brings back several "Terminal List" characters alongside Reece, but The Hollywood Reporter said it is not yet clear which cast members, if any, will join Pratt in the new show. The main series also stars Kitsch.

Peter Friedlander, head of global television for Amazon MGM Studios, credited the franchise's success to Carr's storytelling and to the dedication of Pratt and the production team.

"Savage Son takes the story into its most intense chapter yet," Friedlander said.

Amazon MGM Studios, MRC and Civic Center Media are producing the series. No writer or showrunner has been attached, and Amazon has not announced a premiere date.
