This story contains spoilers from The Terminal List: Dark Wolf season 1 finale, “The Wolf You Feed.”
Ben Edwards has found where he belongs.
When viewers first met Ben (Taylor Kitsch) in season 1 of The Terminal List, he was a member of the CIA’s Ground Branch and the best friend of James Reece (Chris Pratt). But in season 1 of prequel series The Terminal List: Dark Wolf, we’re introduced to a very different Ben.
The story starts with the events leading up to Ben’s departure from the Navy SEALs. “It starts with why he gets stripped,” Kitsch tells Entertainment Weekly when discussing what drives the character. “It’s obviously a personal thing with the promise he made to his translator’s family that [he’s] gonna protect him. He has something to prove. So that drives him, just making a difference. And then once you unleash him, once you take the cuffs off him and he’s free in the sense of lack of rules of engagement, now he gets to figure out how much of a difference he gets to make.”

Chris Pratt and Taylor Kitsch on ‘The Terminal List: Dark Wolf’
In The Terminal List: Dark Wolf‘s season 1 finale, the cuffs were all the way off. Ben had all but accepted that he was probably going to die in order to expose the truth and take down Haverford (Robert Wisdom), even sending a goodbye to his wife. “I just know he was willing to die,” Kitsch says.
Of course, he doesn’t die, thanks to a little help from Reece and a few of their buddies. But he is able to turn in Haverford before later heading to the CIA offices. When asked why he’s interested in the Ground Branch, he simply responds, “Because I belong here.”
In other words, the CIA agent we met in The Terminal List still isn’t the Ben we leave behind in Dark Wolf. So, could there be more to the story? “We’re seven years earlier, which gives us a long runway,” Kitsch says, adding, “We have a pretty hard outline of where Ben’s gonna go if we’re lucky enough to do season 2.”

As for what that hard outline contains, Kitsch continues, “We shine a brighter light into the darkness of service. I love where we ended because we get way darker and I think you’re finally gonna see Ben truly fall in season 2, which obviously goes toward Terminal List season 1 and why he makes the decisions he makes. I’m excited. I hope we can take one more swing and truly see this guy fall.”
The Terminal List: Dark Wolf is streaming on Prime Video.
