Set before the events of 2022’s “The Terminal List,” which was adapted from Carr’s 2018 novel of the same name, “Dark Wolf” focuses on the early days of Ben Edwards’ (Kitsch) career. After leaving the Navy SEALs, Edwards is recruited by the CIA and soon finds himself entangled in a conspiracy plot, which ultimately leads to the fatal mission of an entire military platoon, as depicted in Season 1 of “The Terminal List.” While exact plot details are still under wraps, “Dark Wolf” is expected to dive further into the backstory leading up to the events in Season 1, highlighting Edwards’ troubled friendship with fellow Navy SEAL James Reece (Chris Pratt).
The show features a mix of new and returning cast members from “The Terminal List” Season 1, including:
- Taylor Kitsch as Ben Edwards
- Chris Pratt as James Reece
- Luke Hemsworth as Jules Landry
- Tom Hopper as Raife Hastings
- Robert Wisdom as Jed Haverford
- Dar Salim as Mohammed Farooq
- Rona-Lee Shimon as Eliza Perash
- Shiraz Tzarfati as Tal Varon
- Jared Shaw as Ernest Vickers
Longtime Hollywood CD Mary Vernieu (“The Last of Us,” “Glass Onion”) collaborated with
Nicola Chisholm (“Fleabag”) and Sydney Shircliff (“Knives Out,” “The Better Sister”) for the project. Vernieu shared some helpful casting advice for actors when she spoke with us after the release of “Knives Out.”
“Do the work, have a good attitude, and I always say leave the work in the room, because there are a million reasons why someone doesn’t get a part, and a lot of times it doesn’t have anything to do with them,” she explained. “I think it’s important to maintain a positive attitude. It’s rough out there, and you just have to keep at it; the right thing will come along if you’re working hard and trying.”
