Breaking Action After Four-Year Wait
Prime Video just confirmed what fans have been waiting for since 2022. Chris Pratt revealed the premiere date during Amazon’s Upfront presentation, ending months of speculation. The first season premiered July 15, 2022, making this gap the longest fans have endured between seasons. Production wrapped in 2025, with the series now in post-production finishing touches.
The delay stems from Pratt’s packed schedule across multiple major film and television projects. Studios needed a production window that aligned with his availability, explaining the 4+ year gap. Now fully locked in for that October slot, Season 2 promises to justify the wait with expanded scope and deeper character development.

His journey grows darker and more personal, testing his remaining connections with his military brothers and the civilians he cares about.
