Alan Ritchson will continue to give life to this hero in the adventures of this production made by Prime Video
The renewal announcement has been made in record time: the adaptation of Lee Child's novels premiered last Friday on Prime Video and now the platform has renewed the series for a second season. This was due to the figures that the series has marked on the day of its premiere since it has been among the most-watched productions.
Nick Santora is responsible for bringing Reacher's new adventures to the screen in eight episodes that make up season one. Alan Ritchson stars in this project alongside a cast made up of Malcolm Goodwin, Willa Fitzgerald, Chris Webster, Hugh Thompson, Maria Sten, Harvey Guillén, Kristin Kreuk, Currie Graham, Marc Bendavid, Willie C. Carpenter, Maxwell Jenkins, and Bruce McGill.
Many of the Jack Reacher books begin with the protagonist getting into trouble and end with him overcoming every obstacle that comes his way. This means that Amazon could choose a different Reacher book to adapt in each of the seasons that are made.
The new season's story is likely to adapt the second book in the Lee Child series, titled Die Trying. Since the movies starring Tom Cruise adapted the books that come later than the series, Reacher season one provided a faithful adaptation of the first book Jack Reacher appeared in: the 1997 novel Killing Floor. Amazon has spoken. that he plans to adopt one book per season and it would be logical that they continue with the second.
One of the biggest challenges they will face in the second season of Reacher is that in the books, the only character to return from Killing Floor is the protagonist. This may change in the new episodes. It should be noted that the character of Neagley (Maria Sten) does not appear in the story of the literary work Killing Floor, but she does introduce herself in later books.
According to the plot of the first season, she can become someone who helps Reacher and thus maintain continuity.
