Reacher Season 2 reintroduces a familiar face from Season 1
In the highly anticipated Reacher Season 2, fans are thrilled to be reunited with Frances Neagley from the show's first season As the first episode unfolds, the series also surprises viewers with an exciting Terminator Easter egg, adding an extra layer of intrigue and excitement to the new season
The initial episode of Season 2 of Reacher reintroduced fans to a character from the first season of the Prime Video show. Premiering a day earlier than expected, episodes 1-3 of Season 2 debuted on December 14, a pleasant surprise for fans.
Season 2 of the crime-thriller series is adapted from Lee Child's 11th Jack Reacher novel, Bad Luck and Trouble. In this season, Reacher (played by Alan Ritchson) delves into the investigation of the murder of a former army comrade. Notably, none of Reacher's Season 1 companions accompany him on this mission, except for one.
Reacher Season 2 brings back a Season 1 character
Frances Neagley, played by Maria Sten, returns in Reacher Season 2. She is the key figure behind Jack's involvement in the case, recruiting him to assist in solving the murder in Episode 1, "ATM."
In Reacher Season 1, Neagley is introduced as a former US Army sergeant who served alongside Reacher. She now works in corporate security, and has remained loyal to Jack by coming to his aid on multiple occasions throughout the first season. In Reacher Season 2, it is confirmed that Neagley still maintains her corporate position and has achieved great success, earning multiple promotions and salary increases.
Reacher Season 2 includes a Terminator Easter egg
The initial three episodes of Season 2 also feature glimpses into Neagley's past with Reacher while serving in the 110th MP Special Investigations Unit. In particular, viewers witness the pivotal moment when the two formed a friendship, following a fierce bar room brawl where they fought alongside each other.
Season 2 also pays homage to the past with a nod to new cast member Robert Patrick's real-life history in the form of a Terminator Easter egg. The reference occurs midway through the episode when one of Shane Langston's hired men reads out Reacher and Neagley's aliases, including Neagley's cover identity as Sarah Connor – a name Langston seems unfamiliar with.
Patrick is unlikely to forget the name himself. Sarah Connor is a prominent figure in multiple Terminator films, including Terminator 2: Judgment Day, where Patrick makes an appearance.

As a Gen Z netizen, I'm thrilled about the return of Reacher Season 2 and the reintroduction of Frances Neagley. The character's loyalty and history with Reacher add depth to the storyline, and I'm excited to see how their dynamic evolves in this new season. The Terminator Easter egg was a fun surprise, paying homage to Robert Patrick's iconic role and adding an extra layer of nostalgia for fans of the classic sci-fi franchise.
Overall, I'm impressed with the way Reacher Season 2 has started and can't wait to see what the rest of the season holds. The show's ability to blend action, mystery, and character development makes it a must-watch for fans of crime thrillers. I highly recommend checking it out on Prime Video.
