Created by Jack Carr and David DiGilio, Prime Video’s ‘The Terminal List’ is an action spy thriller series that follows the adventures and misadventures of a Navy SEAL named James Reece. The second season is adapted from Jack Carr’s novel ‘True Believer’ and centers on Reece’s new mission after he completes his list and avenges his family’s death. After a new conspiracy brews against him, he is chased by the CIA as he tries to prove his innocence by going against a resurgent terrorist group. Featuring a talented ensemble cast comprising Chris Pratt, Tom Hopper, and Constance Wu, the espionage show takes Reece to different parts of the world, including Moscow and Langley, as he digs deeper into the conspiracy that is connected to his family, too.
The Terminal List Season 2 Filming Locations
‘The Terminal List’ season 2 was filmed in Ontario, DC, South Africa, and Morocco, particularly in Toronto, Cambridge, Washington, Cape Town, Hoedspruit, Marrakesh, Casablanca, and Tangier. According to reports, principal photography for the sophomore round of the action series got underway in early May 2025 under the working title ‘Kestrel’ and continued for more than three months before wrapping up in August of the same year.
Toronto, Ontario
A significant chunk of ‘The Terminal List’ season 2 was lensed across the city of Toronto. In the early stages of production, the cast and crew members were spotted taping several key exterior scenes at the St. Lawrence Market, located near Front Street East and Jarvis Street. Around mid-July 2025, the filming unit took over the campus of the University of Toronto Scarborough at 1265 Military Trail in the Scarborough district.
Cambridge, Ontario
The sophomore season of the Chris Pratt starrer was also shot in and around Cambridge, situated in the Regional Municipality of Waterloo. Its downtown Galt neighborhood was transformed into an area in Belgium, with the filming unit redressing the entire area by adding Belgian license plates to vehicles and changing the names of the businesses. From May 19 to May 21, 2025, the Main Street between Water Street and Ainslie Street, including the Water and Main Street intersection, was closed for filming purposes. As per reports, the parking lots on Water Street North, Churchill Park, and Wellington South were utilized to park production vehicles.
Washington, DC
Additional portions for ‘The Terminal List’ season 2 were reportedly filmed in the capital city — Washington, DC. From what we can tell, the filming unit captured the city’s iconic landmarks and buildings for a few establishing shots, such as the Capitol Building, the Lincoln Memorial, the Washington Monument, the White House, and the Washington National Cathedral.
Cape Town, South Africa
The legislative capital of South Africa — Cape Town — served as a prominent production location for the second season of ‘The Terminal List.’ The cast and crew members took over numerous streets and neighborhoods across the city to tape many pivotal indoor and outdoor sequences. They also traveled east of Cape Town to the town of Hoedspruit, in South Africa’s Limpopo province, to record a few important scenes. Apart from the spy thriller show, Cape Town has hosted the production of various movies and TV shows, including ‘Good Luck, Have Fun, Don’t Die,’ ‘They Will Kill You,’ ‘Tomb Raider,’ ‘Mad Max: Fury Road,’ ‘Black Sails,’ ‘Resident Evil,’ and ‘Our Girl.’
Marrakesh, Morocco
Several pivotal sequences for ‘The Terminal List’ season 2 were reportedly lensed in and around Marrakesh, which is the capital of Morocco’s Marrakesh-Safi region. Besides shooting key portions across the city of Marrakesh, the cast and crew members also set up camp in the town of Asni, located in the foothills of the High Atlas mountains south of Marrakesh. These Moroccan spots reportedly doubled as Greece, Syria, and other Eastern European nations.
Other Locations in Morocco
For the purpose of shooting, the production team of the Jack Carr and David DiGilio creation also traveled to a couple of other locations in Morocco, including the city of Casablanca. Furthermore, during the filming process of season 2, the filming unit was also spotted recording important scenes in Tangier, which reportedly doubled for Beirut, the capital of Lebanon.
