Season 2 adapts True Believer, the second novel in Jack Carr's series. Where season one was a contained revenge story, this one goes global — the Indian Ocean, Africa, the Middle East, Europe — as James Reece hunts a conspiracy running from Moscow to Langley that ties back to his own family.
The trailer's opening image
Reece is hiding on a sailboat, gaunt and heavily bearded, still living with the brain tumor from season one. Taylor Kitsch's Ben Edwards appears early, haunting him, fresh off headlining the prequel series Dark Wolf.
The physical state is not entirely makeup. Pratt told USA Today he had E. coli and tick bite fever during parts of the shoot, and that much of the look came from being genuinely sick — including nights spent sweating through the mattress.
Cast
Returning: Tom Hopper as Raife Hastings, Constance Wu as Katie Buranek, Dar Salim as Mohammed Farooq, Luke Hemsworth as Jules Landry. Gabriel Luna joins as Freddy Strain. Also new: Costa Ronin, Olga Kurylenko, Yul Vazquez, Martin Sensmeier, Arnold Vosloo, Jeremy Bobb and Shiraz Tzarfati.
David DiGilio returns as writer and showrunner. Pratt, Antoine Fuqua, Carr, Kat Samick, Max Adams and Jared Shaw executive produce.
Four years between seasons, one prequel series in the gap, and a franchise Prime says has reached over 100 million viewers on fifteen episodes total. The math on that is genuinely impressive.
