Reacher is such a popular show for Amazon that it’s solely responsible for turning Alan Ritchson into an A-list Hollywood stud. Nobody could’ve predicted the series would go this well following a pair of so-so movies starring Tom Cruise. This is the rare case of Cruise being upstaged by an actor most people had never heard of a couple of years ago, and it’s because the show has a completely different agenda than the movies. As much as we all love Cruise, Reacher’s intimidating physicality is integral to the character and you can’t simply remove that. And now Reacher is coming back for season three and it looks as hard-hitting as ever.
Ritchson, who is basically a walking refrigerator or a brick wall with legs, is back as ex-Army officer Jack Reacher who ventures into a vast criminal underworld to rescue an undercover DEA agent. And as usual, Reacher will have to beat some sense into anyone who stands into his way, although he’ll face the rare case of a foe who is bigger and stronger than him.
This season is based on Child’s book, Persuader.
Maria Sten returns as Reacher’s confidante Frances Neagley, joined by Anthony Michael Hall, Sonya Cassidy, Brian Tee, Johnny Berchtold, Robert Montesinos, Olivier Richters, and Daniel David Stewart. Nick Santora is back as showrunner.
Reacher season 3 hits Prime Video on February 20th. Sounds like it’s time for a rewatch of the first two seasons!
SYNOPSIS: Based on Lee Child’s novel Persuader, in the third season of the action-packed series, Reacher hurtles into the dark heart of a vast criminal enterprise when trying to rescue an undercover DEA informant whose time is running out. There he finds a world of secrecy and violence—and confronts some unfinished business from his own past.
