The Return of Jack Reacher
Jack Reacher returns in Season 2 of the hit Prime Video series, Reacher. Alan Ritchson stars as the title character, a barrel-chested hunk of muscle who lives life on the outskirts of society, drifting from town to town. Inevitably, trouble always comes his way, leading to conflict that's inevitably resolved with Reacher's unique brand of righteous vigilante justice.

The new season of the series, based on the novel Bad Luck and Trouble by Lee Child, sees Reacher come up against a new threat when members of his former team, the 110th MP Special Investigations Unit, are murdered under mysterious circumstances. He teams up with the surviving members to turn the tables on their pursuers, turning the hunters into the hunted.
Alan Ritchson's Insight
While promoting the release of Reacher Season 2, airing now on Amazon Prime Video, Ritchson was interviewed by Screen Rant about his work on the series, which is currently shooting its third season. He talks about returning to the iconic role of Jack Reacher after the end of the recent actors' strike, adjusting to the new team dynamic of the show, and shares his wishes regarding potential fights and stunts that could potentially occur in the series' future.
One of the big differences this season is that Reacher has his squad, the 110th backing him up. Ritchson discusses the relief and challenge of having these characters whom Reacher sees as equals, or at least has respect for. He also reflects on his evolving approach and relationship with the character from Season 1 to Season 3, highlighting the ease of slipping into the character and the importance of listening to direction and taking suggestions.
Ritchson also shares his excitement for potential motorcycle stunts and aerial skydiving fights, expressing his wish to explore new dimensions of action and adventure in the series. His enthusiasm for pushing the boundaries of physical stunts adds another layer of anticipation for fans of the show.
