Chris Pratt experiences prop problems in Terminal List Season 2, as he disclosed during a recent social media post about filming the upcoming season of Amazon Prime’s series. The actor, who returns as James Reece in the adaptation of Jack Carr’s novel True Believer, brought attention to a strange aspect of his on-set experience while interacting with fans this weekend.
Unexpected Issues With Make-up and Props Surface During Filming
The Terminal List Season 2, set to premiere in August, once again features Chris Pratt as the hardened Navy SEAL. On June 7, Pratt posted an Instagram reel from the set, giving followers insight into both his physical transformation and some behind-the-scenes discomfort. Appearing nearly unrecognizable with long hair, a pronounced beard, and a mustache, Pratt used the moment to highlight the impressive work of the makeup and prop departments, though he didn’t shy away from mentioning the downside involved.
He expressed his appreciation for the prosthetic work, asking,
“Isn’t this hair and makeup incredible?”
—Chris Pratt, Actor. However, Pratt confessed that eating on set has its pitfalls thanks to the fake facial hair. He candidly revealed just how problematic these realistic props can be, stating,
“it’s definitely someone else’s hair, and you don’t know whose, where it came from.”
—Chris Pratt, Actor. Despite the discomfort, Pratt shrugged it off, continuing his meal and showing resilience amid less-than-ideal circumstances.

“This is exactly how I imagine James Reece looking on the boat. I’m already excited.”

Long-time fans connected Pratt’s description to the end of Season 1, which wrapped with Reece in Syria during “Operation Odin’s Sword.” The season finale showed a physically and emotionally changed Reece as he destroyed a personal memento from his daughter Lucy, played by Arlo Mertz. As new glimpses of Season 2 surface, speculation even emerged about the gory makeup, with one fan guessing that
“the blood on his hands from the tuna he caught? Maybe?”
—Follower. The gritty details reflect the intense and conflicted world that both Jack Carr’s novels and the Amazon Prime adaptation strive to portray.
