While he wasn't able to make an in-person appearance at CCXP over the weekend, Reacher star Alan Ritchson sent in a must-see video message, with a very important piece of news as he revealed that, ahead of the show's second season premiere, Prime Video had already renewed his acclaimed action series for a third season that has already commenced production!
Plot details on the now-official third season are being kept under wraps for now, but hopefully, we'll get some intel on which novel they'll be adapting for season three relatively soon. Outside of Ritchson, we should expect Maria Sten to reprise her role as Frances Neagley as well, but the additional supporting players likely won't be revealed for a few weeks, if not until after the second season finishes airing in mid-January.
Speaking of Season Two, it will be based on Bad Luck and Trouble, the 11th book in Lee Child's best-selling series. The novel follows Reacher after he receives a coded message that the members of his former U.S. Army unit are being mysteriously and brutally murdered one by one. He then springs into action and begins to investigate, recruiting friends new and old to uncover a mystery where the stakes get higher at every turn.
Joining Ritchson for season two are Maria Sten (Frances Neagley), Serinda Swan (Karla Dixon), Shaun Sipos (David O'Donnell), Ferdinand Kingsley (A.M.), Robert Patrick (Shane Langston), and Domenick Lombardozzi (Guy Russo).
Reacher season two premieres on December 15.
Watch the season three announcement and an extended sneak peek at the season two premiere below:
Reacher Season Two begins when veteran military police investigator Jack Reacher (Alan Ritchson) receives a coded message that the members of his former U.S. Army unit, the 110th MP Special Investigations, are being mysteriously and brutally murdered one by one. Pulled from his drifter lifestyle, Reacher reunites with three of his former teammates turned chosen family to investigate, including Frances Neagley (Maria Sten); Karla Dixon (Serinda Swan), a forensic accountant for whom Reacher has long had a soft spot; and fast-talking, switchblade-wielding family man David O’Donnell (Shaun Sipos). Together, they begin to connect the dots in a mystery where the stakes get higher at every turn, and that brings about questions of who has betrayed them—and who will die next. Using his inimitable blend of smarts and size, Reacher will stop at nothing to uncover the truth and protect the members of his unit. If there’s one thing Reacher and his team know for certain, it’s that you do not mess with the Special Investigators. This season, get ready for Reacher and the 110th to hit back hard.
Based on Bad Luck and Trouble, the 11th book in Lee Child’s global best-selling series, Reacher Season Two stars Alan Ritchson in the title role of Jack Reacher, with Maria Sten, Serinda Swan, and Shaun Sipos as key members of the 110th MP Special Investigations Unit. Rounding out the cast are Ferdinand Kingsley as A.M., a mercenary that homeland security refers to as a “ghost;” Robert Patrick as Shane Langston, head of security for a private defense contractor with a questionable track record; and Domenick Lombardozzi as tough NYPD detective Guy Russo.
Reacher is produced by Amazon Studios, Skydance Television, and Paramount Television Studios. Based on the novels by Lee Child, who serves as an executive producer, the series is written for television by Emmy-nominated writer Nick Santora (Scorpion, Prison Break), who also executive produces and serves as showrunner. In addition to Santora and Child, the series is executive produced by Don Granger, Scott Sullivan, and Adam Higgs, with David Ellison, Dana Goldberg, and Matt Thunell for Skydance.
Reacher is pulled from his vagabond life by a coded message informing him that a member of the 110th - his elite group of Army Special Investigators - has been murdered. He and some of his former military cohorts reunite to investigate and soon realize the case is bigger than they ever could have imagined. Watch the new season December 15 on Prime Video.
