Co-created by The Terminal List author Jack Carr and Season 1 creator-showrunner David DiGilio, the prequel, set five years before the mothership series, is an elevated espionage thriller that takes viewers on Ben Edwards’ (Taylor Kitsch) journey from Navy SEAL to CIA paramilitary operator, exploring the darker side of warfare and the human cost that comes with it.

Tom Hopper, Luke Hemsworth, Chris Pratt and Jared Shaw also star.

In addition to starring in the series, Kitsch executive produces alongside Pratt through Indivisible Productions, Antoine Fuqua and Kat Samick, through Hill District Media, author Jack Carr, showrunner David DiGilio, pilot director Frederick E.O. Toye, writer/former Army Ranger Max Adams, and actor/writer/former Navy SEAL Jared Shaw. The Terminal List: Dark Wolf is a co-production from Amazon Studios and MRC Television/Civic Center Media.

Last year, Prime Video also confirmed The Terminal List would return for a second season, based on Carr’s New York Times best-selling novel True Believer.

Salim can most recently be seen opposite Jake Gyllenhaal in Guy Ritchie’s Amazon and MGM Studios feature, The Covenant and reprising his lead role in the Danish Film Darkland II. Up next, he stars in the ensemble Netflix series, The Gentlemen.

Prior, he was seen opposite Sonja Richter in the first Danish-language original film from Netflix, Loving Adults, which came in at #1 for all non-English films on the platform. Additional credits include the Cinemax/HBO/Netflix series Warrior, which earned him the Svend’s Actor of the Year award; he also played a supporting role in the Academy Award-nominated Danish film, A War; and starred opposite Noomi Rapace in the international Netflix feature, Black Crab.

Salim is repped by Buchwald and Emptage Hallett.
