The Terminal List Season 2: Release date rumors, cast updates and what to expect next
Alright, The Terminal List fans, let's talk about Season 2. After that wild first season hit Amazon Prime Video back in July 2022, we've all been itching for more of Chris Pratt's Navy SEAL, James Reece, and his no-holds-barred mission. The show, based on Jack Carr's gritty novels, hooked us with its action and conspiracy vibes. Now, with Season 2 in the works, here's the latest scoop on when it might drop, who's coming back, and what's next for Reece. The Terminal List Season 2 Potential Release Date
So, when can we expect to binge Season 2? Amazon gave the green light for a second season way back in February 2023, but we're still waiting on an official premiere date. Word on the street—or rather, posts on X and entertainment sites—says filming kicked off in Toronto in March 2025. They're supposedly wrapping up by late fall, maybe August or November 2025. Since Season 1 took about a year from filming to release, we're probably looking at mid-2026, like spring or summer, for Season 2 to land. The Terminal List Season 2 Expected Cast
Season 1 didn't exactly leave a ton of survivors, but the core crew is back, and we've got some fresh talent joining the fray. Here's who to watch for: Chris Pratt as James Reece : Our guy Reece is back, still haunted but ready for more action. Pratt's been hyping up the season, saying it'll bring that same military grit with even more intensity.
: Our guy Reece is back, still haunted but ready for more action. Pratt's been hyping up the season, saying it'll bring that same military grit with even more intensity. Constance Wu as Katie Buranek : The journalist who helped Reece dig into the Season 1 conspiracy should return, especially since she's a big part of the books.

Luna, who you might know from The Last of Us , plays a former SEAL turned CIA operative. He's a sniper with a heart, balancing family life with high-stakes missions, and he's set to guide Reece toward some kind of redemption.

He's a sniper with a heart, balancing family life with high-stakes missions, and he's set to guide Reece toward some kind of redemption. Martin Sensmeier as Sergeant Major Otaktay : This 1883 alum joins as a warrior who's all about justice, which could spark some serious tension with Reece.
: This alum joins as a warrior who's all about justice, which could spark some serious tension with Reece. Tom Hopper as Raife Hastings : You might've seen Hopper in The Umbrella Academy . He's playing Raife in the Dark Wolf prequel, and since Raife's a key figure in the book Season 2's based on, he might cross over.
: You might've seen Hopper in . He's playing Raife in the prequel, and since Raife's a key figure in the book Season 2's based on, he might cross over. Taylor Kitsch as Ben Edwards: Ben's story ended rough in Season 1, but Kitsch is back for the Dark Wolf prequel, diving into his SEAL-to-CIA days. Pratt's also in the prequel, so we might see some timeline-crossing magic.
Could we see Riley Keough or Arlo Mertz as Lauren and Lucy Reece? Maybe in flashbacks, since their Season 1 fates were heartbreaking. There's also buzz about new characters like Mohammed Farooq, possibly played by Dar Salim from the prequel. The Terminal List Season 2 Potential Plot
Season 2's pulling from True Believer , the second book in Jack Carr's series. If Season 1 was all about revenge, this one's more of a global spy thriller. Reece is on the run, hiding out in Mozambique after Season 1's chaos. Then, a terrorist attack in London—a bomb at a holiday fair—flips the script. The CIA drags Reece back in to hunt down an Iraqi commando tied to the attacks. It's a wild ride across continents, with Reece dodging enemies and wrestling with his fugitive status.
David DiGilio, the showrunner, says True Believer is a 'huge, epic story' that'll mix intense action with new twists to keep things fresh. Expect Reece to face some tough choices, maybe find a bit of redemption, and lean on new allies like Freddy Strain. The Dark Wolf prequel, focusing on Ben Edwards, will also tie in, setting up characters like Raife Hastings who could play a big role in Season 2.

Netflix's original movies aren't moving the needle — but it might not matter
Netflix's "The Electric State," starring Millie Bobby Brown and Chris Pratt, was widely watched but got panned by critics.

Impact Link This story is available exclusively to Business Insider subscribers. Become an Insider and start reading now. Netflix has seemingly solved the economics of streaming, but it hasn't yet mastered movies. Viewership for Netflix's original films shrank in the last two years, even as inventory rose, according to new research from MoffettNathanson based on data from Netflix's self-published engagement report. Movies made for Netflix generated 9.2 billion viewing hours in the first half of 2025, 7% lower than the back half of 2024, and well down from 10.3 billion viewing hours in the first half of 2023. Those declines came despite an increase in the number of original film titles available on the platform. That suggests Netflix's original movies have "gotten less popular," Joe Bonner, who covers Netflix for Argus Research, told Business Insider. The soft viewership comes despite a slight increase in Netflix's overall viewership, which the company said rose 1% year-over-year in the first six months of 2025. Netflix's original movie output has also declined since 2022, according to research from Kasey Moore, who runs the What's on Netflix site that tracks Netflix releases. (The streamer's original film output is typically lower in the first half of the year, and company executives remarked last week that this year's slate is "unusually second-half weighted.") Netflix has made original films at a slower pace in recent years. Kasey Moore Moore said instead of making its own movies, Netflix is increasingly leaning on licensing new and existing movies from other studios. "They're using other people's movies to boost their viewership all around the world," Moore told BI. A Netflix spokesperson said the company doesn't comment on analyst reports but pointed to the company's latest shareholder letter. Netflix's movie misses may not matter much Although Netflix has made a slew of smash-hit shows, like "Squid Game" and "Adolescence," its original movies haven't often caught fire — or impressed critics. Related stories Business Insider tells the innovative stories you want to know Business Insider tells the innovative stories you want to know Audience reviews for Netflix's most-watched original movies have trended lower in the last two years, according to ratings from Rotten Tomatoes cited by MoffettNathanson's Robert Fishman, who authored the report. MoffettNathanson "While the critical reception to Netflix's original series has improved considerably over the past two years, the reception to Netflix's original films remains muted," Fishman wrote in the note. Exhibit A is "The Electric State," a straight-to-Netflix movie that Puck reported cost in the neighborhood of $300 million. Critics panned the flick, which garnered a 14% Rotten Tomatoes score, though audience reviews were more upbeat. Netflix said that the film starring Chris Pratt and Millie Bobby Brown racked up 74 million views since its mid-March debut — seventh most among its movies in the first half of 2025. But at that mammoth budget, it's unclear whether that bet paid off for Netflix. If Netflix's original movies don't make waves, Bonner said the streaming giant may have to do some soul searching on whether original movies are "worth the declining return on investment." When it comes to film, Bonner said that Netflix has "a reputation for middling quality versus, say, HBO Max." However, Bonner remarked that even a softer slate of original movies "did not impact subscriber acquisition, revenue, or profits" for Netflix in its latest quarter. Instead, he said investors were excited about the streamer's successful password-sharing crackdown and ad-tier growth. While Netflix hasn't yet perfected its film strategy, Comscore movie analyst Paul Dergarabedian said it can keep taking swings thanks to its "massive footprint and incredible financial resources." That's why he's confident that eventually, the streaming titan's movies can be as big as its shows.

The Legend of Vox Machina Season 4: Latest updates on release date, cast, and plot details
By Aman Shukla Published on July 24, 2025, 19:30 IST Last updated July 24, 2025, 15:33 IST Alright, Critical Role fans, let's talk about The Legend of Vox Machina Season 4! If you're anything like me, you've been riding the high of Season 3's epic finale and are dying to know what's next for our favorite ragtag adventurers. Amazon Prime Video's animated gem, born from the Dungeons & Dragons chaos of Critical Role's first campaign, has us all hooked. So, let's dive into the latest scoop on Season 4's release date, who's in the cast, and what the plot might have in store. When Can We Expect Season 4 to Hit Our Screens? Big news dropped on October 23, 2024, when Amazon gave the green light for Season 4, right before Season 3 wrapped up. But, as of now, there's no official release date. Bummer, right? Let's piece together what we know from the show's history to make a guess. Season 1 kicked off on January 28, 2022. Season 2 rolled out almost exactly a year later, on January 20, 2023. Season 3 took a bit longer, landing on October 3, 2024—about 20 months after Season 2. Those pesky 2023 Hollywood strikes probably slowed things down. So, what's the deal for Season 4? The animation wizards at Titmouse Inc. need time to work their magic, and that's no quick feat. My bet's on a release sometime between late 2025 and mid-2026. Who's Back for the Vox Machina Crew? The heart of The Legend of Vox Machina is its cast, and let's be real—the Critical Role gang brings these characters to life like no one else could. Based on everything we know, the main squad is coming back for Season 4: Laura Bailey as Vex'ahlia, the sharp-witted half-elf ranger who's always got a plan (and a bear). Liam O'Brien as Vax'ildan, her rogue twin who's got a knack for heartbreak. Taliesin Jaffe as Percy de Rolo, the gunslinger with a dark past and a fancy coat. Ashley Johnson as Pike Trickfoot, the pint-sized cleric with a giant heart. Marisha Ray as Keyleth, the druid who's still finding her footing as a leader. Sam Riegel as Scanlan Shorthalt, the bard who's equal parts ridiculous and loyal. Travis Willingham as Grog Strongjaw, the big guy with an even bigger love for ale and axes. Matthew Mercer juggling Trinket (Vex's bear buddy) and a ton of NPCs, because of course he does. No word yet on new voices joining the mix, but if Season 4 introduces fresh faces—or foes—we might hear some surprise casting. The Season 3 finale shook things up with the team splitting off, so I'm curious to see how the cast handles those changes. One thing's for sure: this crew's chemistry is pure gold. What's the Story for Season 4? (Spoilers Ahead!) Okay, if you haven't finished Season 3, turn back now because we're diving into spoiler territory! The Season 3 finale was a wild ride. Vox Machina took down Orthax and the Chroma Conclave, but victory came with a cost. The gang split up to chase their own paths: Scanlan hit the road with his daughter Kaylie for a father-daughter world tour. Vax tagged along with Keyleth to the Fire Ashari for her Aramenté trials. Percy and Vex, now officially a power couple, headed to Whitestone with Gilmore for some Winter's Crest festivities. Pike and Grog? They're just out to cause some glorious chaos. But then, boom—the final scene dropped a massive hint about what's next: The Whispered One (aka Vecna, but with a copyright-friendly name). His creepy cult, the Remnants, is scheming to bring him back by snatching souls. If you know Critical Role's campaign, you're probably screaming 'Vecna arc!' right now. Season 4 is likely to dive into this storyline, with Vox Machina reuniting to face a lich so powerful he makes dragons look like lizards. What can we expect? Here's my take: Huge Fights : Think battles in wild places like an underwater volcano or a city full of undead dwarves. The original campaign went big, and the show will too. Character Growth : Keyleth's trials are a big deal, and Vax's deal to save Percy might come back to haunt him. Plus, those relationships—Vax and Keyleth, Percy and Vex, Scanlan and Kaylie—are gonna tug at our heartstrings. New Baddies: The Remnants are up to no good, and their soul-stealing rituals sound like bad news for our heroes. The show's writers have a knack for tweaking the campaign to fit TV, so expect some surprises while keeping the core of the story intact. I'm already hyped for the emotional punches and ridiculous one-liners. Ahmedabad Plane Crash The Legend of Vox Machina Aman Shukla is a post-graduate in mass communication .

Mysteries: ‘Pariah' by Dan Fesperman
Hal Knight, a 47-year-old comedian-turned-congressman, is the title character in Dan Fesperman's 13th novel, 'Pariah.' In the wake of a #MeToo-era scandal over his behavior on a film set, Hal is out of politics and the entertainment world. He's been dropped by his fiancée and is no longer welcome in polite U.S. society. In disgrace, Hal makes his way alone to a small Caribbean island where he hopes to hide in isolation while pondering 'Plan Z': downing the poison pills concealed in his luggage. 'Fast-acting, mostly painless.' But two unexpected things occur: The despotic president of the Eastern European nation of Bolrovia (an avowed fan of Hal's comedy) invites him for an all-expenses-paid visit and celebratory banquet-concert; and three mysterious Americans (two men and their female supervisor) drop by Hal's hotel to suggest he accept that invite—for his good, their good and the good of his country. Who are they? 'Anyone who says he's CIA is almost certainly an imposter,' the former congressman figures. 'Only someone who cagily avoids mentioning CIA can really be an Agency employee.' Hal says yes to both offers. He's grateful for the career attention (though wary of being perceived as the 'court jester of a wannabe dictator') and hopes maybe he can now do something worthwhile to make amends for his past mistakes and misdeeds. Mr. Fesperman, a former foreign correspondent as well as a veteran fiction writer, handles the absurdist elements of his plot with a light touch appropriate to the travails of (in Hal's mocking words) 'the Jerry Lewis of Bolrovia.' Yet the laughter takes a back seat to some real peril once things go awry and Hal starts improvising an unpredictable script. 'Pariah' is a most unusual and entertaining espionage caper, one in which the protagonist's serious flaws at last yield to the redeeming qualities of his better angels.
