Latest news about 'The Terminal List'

Amazon Prime video dropped a trailer of the high-octane thriller.  The clip spanning just over two minutes sees Pratt's Reece come home from his op, but nothing really feels the same. His team is dead and there's no statement about the events of the mission. He teams up with journalist Katie Buranek (Wu) and the duo set out to discover the truth and also the mastermind behind the operation and the outcome.
