Prime Video has given a series order to Savage Son, a new drama centered on James Reece, Chris Pratt's Terminal List character. [1] If you watch The Terminal List, this is the next story in that franchise. [1]
The order came two weeks after season two of The Terminal List debuted on Prime Video. [1] Pratt is returning as Lieutenant Commander James Reece. [2] Variety reports that Pratt will again play Reece. [3]
What Savage Son is based on
Savage Son is based on Jack Carr's novel of the same title, the third book in a series following former Navy SEAL Reece. [1] The main show is based on that book series. [3]
The logline says Reece faces his most personal and dangerous mission yet. [1] The show is described as a gripping blend of military action, espionage, and wilderness survival. [1]
Amazon MGM Studios, MRC, and Civic Center Media are producing. [1] Peter Friedlander, head of global television for Amazon MGM Studios, said the franchise continues to resonate and Savage Son takes the story into its most intense chapter yet. [1]
The plot of the book
In the book, a traitorous CIA officer has found refuge with the Russian mafia with plans to kill Reece. [2] Reece is recovering from brain surgery in the Montana wilderness of his youth. [2]
He is forced to recruit a team of former commandos to take the fight to the Russian mafia on their home turf. [2] Along the way he is helped by investigative journalist Katie Buranek (Constance Wu) and his longtime friend and SEAL teammate Raife Hastings (Tom Hopper). [2]
How The Terminal List got here

What is still undecided
