The Terminal List: Dark Wolf

Ben Edwards is a battle hardened Navy SEAL who steps into the CIA's shaded world where covert missions operate beyond normal oversight. As he treads deeper into the gray, loyalties blur and pressure builds to bend the rules. The longer he stays in this murky space, the more he wavers between duty and darker impulses. The show frames his struggle with a familiar image, two wolves inside every man, one that leans toward light and one toward dark, both fighting for control of his actions. With each decision, the line between honor and temptation shifts, forcing Ben to decide which instinct will govern his next move.

Created by Jack Carr and David DiGilio, the series expands the Terminal List universe. It stars Taylor Kitsch as Ben Edwards and Tom Hopper as Raife Hastings, underscoring a high stakes blend of military grit and political intrigue.

Reception and themes center on moral ambiguity and the pull between loyalty and self preservation. The show leans into tight action and character tension as Ben negotiates power, surveillance, and the cost of operating outside the rules.
