A bigger, badder Reacher is back for season 2 on Amazon’s Prime Video, premiering its first three episodes on December 15th.
The 6’4″ star Alan Ritchson went bigger too, breaking 240 lbs in time to play ex-military cop Jack Reacher for a second season.
Season 2 is adapted from the 11th book in Lee Child’s best-selling book series titled Bad Luck and Trouble about members of Reacher’s old military unit turning up dead.
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. He and some of his former military cohorts reunite to investigate and soon realize the case is bigger than they ever could have imagined.
