Actor and Former Navy SEAL, Remi Adeleke Joins Amazon Series ‘Terminal List’
He will star alongside Chris Pratt in the thriller series already in production.
Remi Adeleke, the Nigerian-born, Bronx-raised actor and former Navy SEAL, will feature in Amazon Prime Video’s upcoming thriller series, Terminal List.
The series, to be directed by Antoine Fuqua (Training Day, The Equalizer), is based on a book of the same name, authored by Jack Carr. Chris Pratt, Riley Keough, JD Pardo, LaMonica Garret and more, will star on the project.
The plot follows James Reece (Pratt) after his entire platoon of Navy SEALs is ambushed during a high-stakes covert mission. Reece returns home to his family with conflicting memories of the event and questions about his culpability. However, as new evidence comes to light, Reece discovers dark forces working against him. Production is now ongoing and scheduled to premiere on Amazon in early 2022.
Adeleke will play Terrell “Tee” Daniels, a member of the FBI’s elite Hostage Rescue Team, now operating on U.S. soil. The best of the best, this creatine-fueled manhunter has turned from active combat tours to domestic counter-terrorism.
On his starring role, Adeleke says, “I’m so grateful to Chris Pratt, Antoine Fuqua, my SEAL brother Jack Carr, and the rest of the producing team for giving me the opportunity to bring my real-world operational experience to this amazing show. With so many shows and streamers propagating content, the equalizer needed to rise from the masses is authenticity. And this show will definitely rise above the rest due to the authenticity being brought to the table.”
Adeleke was born in Nigeria, but following his father’s death, he and his mother and brother relocated permanently to the Bronx, New York City. According to his public profile, after years of making regrettable decisions, he joined the Navy in 2002 and later became a Navy SEAL.
His other acting credits include Transformers: The Last Knight, SEAL Team, 6 Underground, among other credits as a filmmaker. His next project would be his directorial debut, the short thriller The Unexpected. Told in reverse and through the lens of its two victims, The Unexpected unearths an elaborate international human trafficking/organ harvesting ring and its link to a terrorist attack.
Adeleke is represented by APA and Loeb & Loeb.
Remi Adeleke’s casting was first reported exclusively on Deadline.
