Nothing successful is not flanked by more or less successful side tracks. Thus, "The Terminal List" also finds a continuation - or rather a prequel. With "Dark Wolf," author Jack Carr and David DiGilio as showrunner of the original season have now conceived a prequel series that centers on the character Ben Edwards (Taylor Kitsch). It shows how he transitions from the Navy Seals to the secret CIA unit. Available from Wednesday on Amazon Prime.
