Reacher Season 2 Cast Release Date Latest News and More

The next season of the hit show is in production now Tim Surette Oct. 21, 2022, 4:50 p.m. PT Reacher became an instant hit for Prime Video when it was released in February 2022, and it remains very popular months after its release. The crime series adapted from Lee Child's books is still hanging around the upper half of the chart of the most-watched shows and movies on Prime Video every day. And it probably cost about one-fiftieth of The Rings of Power per episode. Star Alan Ritchson has perfectly embodied the titular vagabond detective as he roams the country solving crimes and breaking bones; no wonder it's so popular. Thankfully, Reacher was renewed for a second season faster than Reacher could tell you why your taste in music sucked. We have questions about Season 2, and so do you. What Jack Reacher book will it be based on? When will Reacher Season 2 be released? Which cast members will be returning? We'll try to answer all those questions below, and update the post as more details are released. Willa Fitzgerald and Alan Ritchson, Reacher Shane Mahood/Amazon Studios

Reacher Season 2 Release Date

Amazon ordered a second season of Reacher on Feb. 7, 2022, just days after the first season premiered. However, Amazon has not announced a premiere date for Season 2. Going by the formula of streaming series returning about a year after the previous season, we'd guess that Season 2 would air sometime in the first half of 2023. Season 2 is filming now.

Which Book Will Reacher Season 2 Follow and What s It About

Reacher Season 1 covered the first book in Lee Child's Jack Reacher books, Killing Floor. As for Season 2, star Alan Ritchson revealed which book it would be based on via Twitter on May 18. “O'Donnell put his hand in his pocket and came out with his brass knuckles. Ceramic knuckles, technically.”
That’s right, season 2 of #ReacherOnPrime will be based on Bad Luck and Trouble (Jack Reacher, #11), written by the legendary Lee Child.

Series creator Nick Santora has said that Reacher won't follow the books chronologically, so expect further seasons to bounce around again. Amazon's official logline for the season is a bit more harsh: "When the members of Reacher's old military unit start turning up dead, Reacher has just one thing on his mind — revenge." Yes!

Who Will Be in Reacher Season 2

It wouldn't be Reacher without Jack Reacher, so it's obvious that Alan Ritchson will be back as the big ol' lug, despite the fact that he's about to become a huge movie star as part of the next Fast & Furious film. But the Reacher TV series was always meant to stay true to Reacher's wandering ways from the books, meaning it's unlikely that we'll meet up again with Oscar Finlay (Malcolm Goodwin), Roscoe Conklin (Willa Fitzgerald), or other citizens of Margrave, Georgia. This has been all but confirmed by Fitzgerald, who said she always knew Roscoe was only going to be in Season 1 in an interview with Digital Spy. However, Deadline reports that Season 2 will include Season 1 vet Frances Neagley (Maria Sten), who was one of Reacher's old squadmates on his military police team. Frances is a recurring character in the Reacher novels, so it makes sense that she's going to recur in the show, too. On Sept. 14, Deadline revealed that Shaun Sipos, who was last seen on Prime Video's Outer Range as Luke Tillerson, will play David O'Donnell, Reacher's pal from the 110th Army unit of special investigators. He'll be a major lead in the season opposite Ritchson. On Sept. 21, Deadline reported more cast members, including Serinda Swan (Marvel's Inhumans), Ferdinand Kingsley (Sandman), and Rory Cochrane (CSI: Miami). Swan will play special investigator Karla Dixon, Kingsley will play undercover mercenary A.M., and Cochrane will play private defense contractor security head Shane Langston. Additionally, Domenick Lombardozzi, Luke Bilyk, Dean McKenzie, Edsson Morales, Andres Collantes, Shannon Kook-Chun, Ty Victor Olsson, Josh Blacker, and Al Sapienza will also star in Season 2 in various roles.
