The Terminal List: Dark Wolf is the highly anticipated origin series co-created by Jack Carr (author of The Terminal List) and returning showrunner David DiGilio. The show dives deep into the past of Ben Edwards, played by Taylor Kitsch, tracing his transformation from a battle-hardened Navy SEAL to a skilled CIA operative navigating covert operations. The show, which also stars Chris Pratt as James Reece, follows viewers on dangerous missions that look at the moral and emotional costs of war.
The show will start on Prime Video on August 27, 2025, with the first three episodes available that same day. New episodes will drop weekly, with the finale arriving on September 24, 2025. The cast includes Tom Hopper, Luke Hemsworth, Dar Salim, Rona-Lee Shimon, Robert Wisdom, Shiraz Tzarfati, Alain Ali Washnevsky, and Hadi Khanjanpour.
However, the precise location in which this global thriller was realized is unknown. It’s time to examine The Terminal List: Dark Wolf’s gritty filming locations.
WHERE WAS THE TERMINAL LIST: DARK WOLF FILMED?
The Terminal List: Dark Wolf was filmed in many countries—such as the United States, Croatia—and Hungary. Filming started in March 2024 and ended in March 2025. Military advisors and real veterans were brought in to help the creators make sure that the tactics, action scenes, and overall execution were true to life..
CROATIA STANDS IN FOR MOSUL, IRAQ
Several key action sequences and war-torn scenes were filmed in Croatia, which served as a stand-in for Mosul, Iraq. Several locations in Croatia were used to make the set look like a dirty battlefield in the Middle East.
Vostarnica, a neighborhood close to the center of Zadar, is one of the most interesting places. With narrow streets and real props to make it look like life on the streets of Iraq, it was turned into a busy outdoor market scene in Mosul.
The crew also went to Pag Island, which is known for having rocky ground and few plants. The unique landscape made the scene look like—a harsh desert, which is great for military operations and tactical missions. Scenes that showed the rural edges of conflict zones were shot in Biljane Donje—a small village close to Zadar.
HUNGARY’S VERSATILITY INDOORS
Hungary was a major place where The Terminal List: Dark Wolf was filmed. The modern Szent Gellért tér metro station in Budapest has been confirmed as a possible site. The city’s interiors could also have been used as military bases, CIA safe houses—or intelligence centers.
U.S. LOCATIONS: CALIFORNIA BACKDROPS
Back in the United States, filming took place in Los Angeles and Santa Clarita, California. These locations were used for flashbacks, domestic intelligence meetings, and Ben Edwards’ earlier days in the Navy SEALs. Santa Clarita’s rugged outdoor areas were ideal for tactical training sequences and covert field operations.
WHEN WAS IT FILMED?
Production began in March 2024, as confirmed via behind-the-scenes posts from the cast and crew. The creators prioritized accuracy in equipment, strategy, and set design, guided by military veterans and former operatives.
