For those who love high-octane, edge-of-your-seat, action-packed television shows, you’re living in the right time. Nowadays, be it on streaming, cable, or network television, action thrillers are all the rage. From fast-paced military thrillers to political thrillers featuring ex-law enforcement to superhero-based shows that pull no punches, there are plenty of action projects out there.
We’ve put together a list of the upcoming action TV shows that you ought to keep an eye out for. Some are heading to a streamer near you within the next year or so, while others have been promised to arrive at some point in the near future. But whatever your favorite type of action drama entails, there’s likely something you’ll enjoy here on this list.
‘The Terminal List’ Season 2 (2022–Present)
After The Terminal List was a breakout hit in 2022, the Prime Video series sparked a franchise based off the novels by former Navy SEAL Jack Carr. With Chris Pratt in the lead as James Reece, audiences were both wowed and horrified by what he would do to take down those responsible for killing his family and his SEAL unit. So, when a second season based on Carr’s True Believer novel was green-lit, well, let’s just say we’re really eager to see where Pratt takes Reece next.
The Terminal List Season 2 is seemingly set to drop on the streamer in late 2026, though an exact date has not been specified. Of course, if that isn’t soon enough, you could always revisit Reece and Taylor Kitsch‘s Ben Edwards with the prequel series The Terminal List: Dark Wolf, which embellishes on their history seven years before the 2022 series. If you do decide to binge through Dark Wolf, you’ll get to enjoy all the additional characters the prequel introduces, some of whom may be important for Season 2.
‘Reacher’ Season 4 (2022–Present)
Another Prime Video action series that has taken audiences by storm, Reacher is based on the Jack Reacher novels by Lee Child and stars Alan Ritchson as the title hero. Adapting a new novel each year, the series continues to up the action and get more intense with each new batch of episodes. After last year’s third season, we’re all eagerly awaiting Season 4, which will be based on the novel Gone Tomorrow.
Reacher Season 4 is also expected to drop on Prime Video in late 2026, and will no doubt blow our minds. The hulking force that is Ritchson is certainly a stark contrast to the original Tom Cruise-led films, and he continues to faithfully embody the character that many have loved for decades. This is an explosive action show that’s perfect for a weekend binge.
‘Man on Fire’ (2026)
If the title sounds familiar to you, it’s probably because Man on Fire was originally a Denzel Washington movie. Of course, before that, it was a novel by A. J. Quinnell, and that’s what’s being adapted here by Kyle Killen and the folks at Netflix. With Yahya Abdul-Mateen II as the famous John Creasy, this action-packed drama is set to explode like dynamite on the screen. At least, that’s our hope.
Man on Fire is set to hit Netflix with all eight episodes on April 30, 2026. For those looking for a fast-paced action thriller that’s far more intense as a multipart series than a film, this is the series for you. Abdul-Mateen may not be Denzel Washington, but from what we’ve seen from this riveting sneak peek, it’s going to be a bingeworthy action series you won’t forget.
