After leaving the US Army as a major in its military police, Jack Reacher roams the United States taking odd jobs and investigating suspicious and frequently dangerous situations.
Update:
Adapted from Lee Child’s bestselling book series, season 3 is rumoured to be based on the 9th book — One Shot — which was the basis for the 2012 movie Jack Reacher starring Tom Cruise.
When will season 2 premiere?
Adapted from the 11th book titled Bad Luck and Trouble about members of Reacher’s old military unit turning up dead, season 2 premieres December 15th on Amazon’s Prime Video.

Reacher is pulled from his vagabond life by a coded message informing him that a member of the 110th – his elite group of Army Special Investigators – has been murdered.
