On August 28, 2025, Tom Hopper returned to screens as Raife Hastings in the third episode of Amazon Prime Video’s Navy SEAL thriller prequel, The Terminal List: Dark Wolf. The installment, written by showrunner David DiGilio and adapted from Jack Carr’s novels, amps up the espionage action and deeper character dynamics.

In Episode 3, Ben Edwards (Taylor Kitsch) and Hastings reunite with team members Mohammad Farooq and Jules Landry, and a new operative, Ish. Tasked with uncovering what the clandestine organization Danawi sought from a geology professor-over a $5 million transaction-the SEALs’ mission takes an unexpected turn. By posing Farooq as the professor, they attempt to infiltrate an illicit exchange, only to discover more layers of deception when phone messages reveal a second, unknown contact. Following Jed Haverford’s orders, Farooq and Ish trail a mysterious young woman, heightening the tension and stakes of the operation.

The episode blends intense tactical sequences with the psychological strain of covert warfare, showcasing Hopper’s stoic performance as a SEAL torn between duty and loyalty. As the team navigates shifting alliances and hidden threats, Episode 3 cements Dark Wolf as a pulse-pounding addition to Prime Video’s action lineup.
