Alan Ritchson, Reacher
Brooke Palmer/Prime Video
Now that you've finished Season 2 of Amazon Prime Video's Reacher and are on the bus with your new toothbrush and Clark bar, it's time to start looking forward to Season 3. This action drama is based on the book by Lee Child and stars Alan Ritchson. The gigantic, curvy detective who roams from town to town in his clothes, his free-range spirit, his hasty delivery of knuckle sandwiches, Ritchson's pitch-perfect punching performance, and plenty of humor help Reacher solve mysteries. I think we'll be able to see him solve it for a long time.
But when will we see season 3? What book is Reacher season 3 based on? And which actors will be in it? We have a lot of questions and will answer them to the best of our ability.
Reacher season 3 latest news
Nearly a month after the announcement that Anthony Michael Hall and Sonya Cassidy would be joining Season 3, Prime Video has revealed the next cast of actors crouching in Reacher's shadow. On March 6, Deadline reported that Brian Tee, Johnny Berchtold, Roberto Montesinos, and Daniel David Stewart have been cast in Reacher Season 3. You can find out more about their characters in the cast section.
Reacher season 3 update
On December 2, 2023, Prime Video announced the Season 3 renewal of CCXP Expo in Brazil. Alan Ritchson, as usual, shared the news in a video along with an extended clip from season two. At the time of publication, Prime Video has not released any official details regarding the next season.
Reacher season 3 release date prediction
The good news is that season 3 was already in production before season 2 began airing. That means the wait between seasons 2 and 3 should be shorter than the hiatus between seasons 1 and 2. If all goes well, we can expect season 3 to air sometime this year. Season 2 began airing in mid-December. Season 3 should at least coincide with his 2024 premiere date.
Which book will Reacher Season 3 follow and what will it be about?
On January 24, Prime Video announced that Reacher Season 3 will be based on Persuader, the seventh book in the Reacher book series. The logline is “Reacher must go undercover to rescue an informant who is being held captive by an unforgettable enemy from his past.” Prime Video's series are produced on their own timeline and do not follow the order in which children's books were released. Season 1 was based on the first book in the series, Killing Floor, while season 2 was based on his 11th book in the series, Bad Luck and Trouble.
In Season 3, Reacher returns to his lone wolf adventures, rather than working with his former military police, the 110, as he did in Season 2. Parts of Persuader are set in Boston and Maine, with the season filmed in Toronto.
“We chose [the book] Child spoke to The Messenger's (and TV Guide writer) Liam Matthews before the Persuader announcement was made. “I have to say it was a good choice. I think we were very creative in how we ordered the types of stories,” he continued, “In the third season, we're going to have more We felt like we needed a Reacher standalone book. So it was a question of which story would be best suited for that, and which one would have a great opening scene and all, and we found our favorites. I did.”
“All I can say is that we don't combine books,” Ritchson told Collider in December 2023, before the second season's premiere. It's packed with enough meat for a season's worth of books. But let's just say it's one of my favorites. People are going to love it, and it's one of the best seasons so far. It will be.”
Who will star in Reacher Season 3?
Alan Ritchson returns as Reacher or we're going to riot. As for other characters, the only other character confirmed to return is Frances Neagley (Maria Sten), who has so far played an important role in both seasons, but her participation The level is still unknown.
As Deadline reported on February 8, Anthony Michael Hall (The Breakfast Club) and Sonya Cassidy (Lodge 49) were the first two major cast announcements of the season. Hall plays Zachary Beck, the owner of a rug importing company that Reacher suspects is being used as a cover for something highly illegal. Cassidy will play the role of Sarah Duffy, a DEA agent who is described as highly intelligent and sarcastic.
On March 6, Deadline reported that Brian Tee would be jumping from one Prime Video show to another. Tee, who played Nicole Kidman's husband on The Expats, will play this season's villain, Quinn. Quinn is a strong Army lieutenant colonel who is being investigated by Reacher for selling secrets to America's enemies. Johnny Berchtold (The Passenger) will play Richard Beck, the son of Hall's Zachary Beck, and Roberto Montesinos will play Guillermo Villanueva, a retired narcotics agent who is Cassidy's character's mentor. Additionally, Daniel David Stewart will be reprising his role as rookie DEA agent Stephen Elliott.
Given that Season 3 is going back to basics and sending Reacher on a solo mission, there's no guarantee that Reacher's allies in the 110th, Kara Dixon (Serinda Swan) and David O'Connell (Sean Sipos) will make an appearance. do not have. (Ritchson has said he'd like to see more of No. 110.) I also think Neighley will be used more sparingly, like he did in season one.
Fans of the show have been clamoring for the return of Roscoe Conklin (Willa Fitzgerald), but that's not how Reacher and Reacher operate. Men can't even keep wearing the same clothes for a season. How does he maintain a long-term romantic relationship? Conversely, Season 1 character Oscar Finlay (Malcolm Goodwin) made a brief appearance in Season 2, so it's not entirely out of the realm of possibility that a familiar face may return.
Reacher season 2 review
In his review for TV Guide, Kyle Fowle said that Reacher season 2 is bigger and better than season 1 because it “allows it to be as gratuitous, goofy, and bloody as it needs to be.” This is because “it has been done.” Read our review here.
Reacher season 1 review
We were impressed with the small screen adaptation of Reacher in Season 1, and especially loved the casting of Ritchson as Reacher. Although there was room for improvement, I was able to get through the episode with ease. I should also note that I was only able to watch the first five episodes for the purpose of my review, although I felt that the series got better as the season progressed to its finale. Here is our review.
