Chris Pratt is looking to return to television as the star in and executive producer of The Terminal List, a TV series based on Jack Carr’s bestselling novel. The ongoing drama, from Antoine Fuqua and his Fuqua Films banner and writer David DiGilio (Traveler, Strange Angel), is in development at MRC Television through Civic Center Media, MRC’s joint TV venture with UTA.
Written by DiGilio and directed by Fuqua, The Terminal List is a conspiracy thriller that combines elevated action with deep psychological questions about the cost of pushing our nation’s highest trained operators too far. The series follows Reece (Pratt) after his entire platoon of Navy SEALs is ambushed during a high-stakes covert mission. Reece returns home with conflicting memories of the event and questions about his culpability. However, as new evidence comes to light, Reece discovers dark forces working against him.
Pratt and Fuqua brought the project to MRC. The duo previously worked together on The Magnificent Seven, which Fuqua directed and in which Pratt starred along with Denzel Washington and Ethan Hawke.
DiGilio executive produces The Terminal List with Pratt via his Indivisible Productions, and Fuqua via his Fuqua Films banner. The Terminal List is a Civic Center Media project in association with MRC Television.
Pratt started in television with a series regular role on the CW’s Everwood and co-starred on NBC’s Parks & Recreation before becoming an A-list movie star. He most recently appeared in Avengers: End Game, which has grossed over $2.7B worldwide. He also co-starred in Avengers: Infinity War and headlines the Guardians of the Galaxy and Jurassic World franchises.
