Season 1 filmed across California. Season 2 went to different continents. The production’s wrap post said it all: “From South Africa to North America to Morocco, the cast and crew pushed the limits to bring book 2, True Believer, to life.” The Terminal List season 2 premieres on Prime Video on October 21, 2026 – four years after the first season, seven months of filming under the working title Kestrel.

A fisherwoman lives on the fringes of a seaside village – unmarried, stinky, and constantly teased. One day, sick of her narrow-minded neighbours, she orders a wicker husband for herself.
