“It’s going to be un-f**king-real, dude.”

Chris Pratt is back in action — and if his words are anything to go by, The Terminal List Season 2 is going to be next-level. Speaking to Collider’s Steve Weintraub at CinemaCon while promoting his upcoming sci-fi thriller Mercy, Pratt offered a major update on Amazon’s hit action series, and his excitement about the upcoming season couldn’t be more evident.

The first season of the show was a massive hit for Prime Video, racking up massive viewership numbers as the way it approached both government corruption but also PTSD seemed to really strike a chord with audiences. Now, according to Pratt, The Terminal List universe is gearing up the next stage. “I just got back from Africa. We’ve already started filming. It’s going to be un-fucking-real, dude. I’m telling you,” Pratt said. “The footage we’ve gotten already, we’ve set the bar so high for ourselves. We’re taking it out of the darkness of, like, the psychological thriller with an unreliable narrator and moving it into the world of true global spycraft.”

That pivot mirrors author Jack Carr’s original books, which escalate from intense psychological drama to globe-trotting espionage across the series. According to Pratt, that’s by design: “We’re following the sequence of the books.”
