Prime Video's Reacher replacement series is starting to fall on streaming at the worst time. Alan Ritchson's Reacher has become one of Prime Video's biggest TV shows ever. After three successful seasons, Reacher returned with season 4 on August 12, with the new season's first three episodes being released on Prime Video. Ahead of season 4's finale on September 16, fans already know that the global hit action series is coming back next year, as Reacher season 5 has not only been confirmed, but Ritchson has already started filming the next chapter in Jack Reacher's journey.

For now, Reacher remains the talk of the town among the rest of Prime Video's TV show library. That said, the streaming service has already come up with multiple potential replacements for the Ritchson series. A new one will soon debut in the form of Reacher's first spinoff, Neagley, which will feature Ritchson's Jack Reacher in a guest role and focus on Maria Sten's Frances Neagley. Before that, the streaming service played with other possible Reacher replacements, including Chris Pratt's The Terminal List, which dropped months after Reacher season 1. Its spinoff, The Terminal List: Dark Wolf, is now falling on streaming charts.

The Terminal List Is About To Fall Off Prime Video's Top 10 Entirely

At the time of writing, The Terminal List: Dark Wolf stands as the 9th most-watched TV show on Prime Video in the United States. As it continues to drop, the action thriller led by Taylor Kitsch is about to fall off the streaming service's Top 10 in the US. Right now, the TV-MA series only ranks higher than The Last Anniversary, a drama series led by Teresa Palmer, on Prime Video's nationwide chart. So far, The Terminal List: Dark Wolf has spent 122 days on Prime Video's Top 10 in 2026. This comes after the show debuted on August 27, 2025.

That signals how The Terminal List: Dark Wolf has proven itself a long-running hit on the streaming service's charts. It is now starting to be phased out as more and more 2026 hits start to gather on Prime Video's Top 10. Currently, most of the list is made up by TV shows that either debuted on Prime Video in 2026 and were met with high viewership in their first seasons, or fan-favorite series that returned with new episodes this year. Above The Terminal List: Dark Wolf on the list are shows like Every Year After, Off Campus, and Sterling Point, with Reacher #1.

The Franchise Is Just About To Return

The Terminal List: Dark Wolf is losing steam on streaming just as Prime Video's Reacher replacement franchise is getting ready to return with its flagship series. After he played a guest role in Dark Wolf, Marvel star Chris Pratt will be back as James Reece in The Terminal List season 2, which will debut on Prime Video on October 21.

15 episodes have been released across The Terminal List and The Terminal List: Dark Wolf.

As such, its prequel trending high on the streaming service alongside Reacher would have given The Terminal List a nice interest boost after the action thriller's 4-year gap between seasons. Still, The Terminal List: Dark Wolf has performed well for a long time, so the main series should find success once again on Prime Video's charts.
