Amazon Studios TV director Vernon Sanders commented on the progress of Reacher season 2 and hinted at a potential release date. Based on author Lee Child’s bestselling book series, Amazon’s Reacher features former Titans actor Alan Ritchson as the title character. A former military police officer turned vagrant, Ritchson’s Jack Reacher has a penchant for looking for trouble and fighting dangerous criminals wherever his travels take him. Amazon officially announced that Reacher Season 2 was in development just three days after Season 1 premiered on Prime Video in February this year.

What can fans expect from Reacher Season 2?
Praised for delivering a version of the character more faithful to the original books than Tom Cruise’s turn as Jack Reacher in 2012 and its sequel in 2016, audiences can continue to expect to see the former Ritchson deputy find themselves struggling throughout Season 2. Based on the original source material, Season 2 will be set in an entirely new location with an all new set of characters. As such, viewers shouldn’t expect to see the return of Willa Fitzgerald’s Roscoe or Malcolm Goodwin’s Captain Finlay from Season 1. However, Maria Sten’s Frances Neagley, who is a recurring character throughout books and a friend of Reacher from his time in the military, is expected to return.

While Reacher season 1 was inspired by Jack Reacher’s original book Killing Floor from 1997, season 2 will move on to the eleventh book in the series, Bad Luck and Trouble from 2007. In this book, Reacher must investigate the murders systematic investigations of his former comrades of the 110th special investigation unit of the American military police. And, unlike Season 1’s small town setting, if Season 2 closely follows Bad Luck and Trouble, it should see Reacher making waves in both Los Angeles and Las Vegas.
Joining the cast for the new season is Shaun Sipos from The Vampire Diaries, who is set to play David O’Donnell, one of Reacher’s former brothers-in-arms who is also heavily involved in the unfolding mystery. Other cast members previously confirmed for the season include Serinda Swan (Inhumans), Ferdinand Kingsley (The Sandman), and Rory Cochrane (Antlers).
