Reacher: Alan Ritchson Gets "Crustier" for Season 3; S02 Finale Teaser

Alan Ritchson had a pretty messy update to share from Reacher Season 3 filming. Plus, a teaser promo for this week's second season finale.

Just because Prime Video and writer & showrunner Nick Santora's Alan Ritchson-starring Reacher is currently filming its third season doesn't guarantee that things will go well for Reacher (Ritchson) by the time the credits roll on this week's season finale, the Scott Sullivan-written "Fly Boy." Especially when the season's penultimate episode ended with our hero surrendering himself to Langston (Robert Patrick) – it doesn't set a strong "happily ever after" vibe. Now, we have a teaser for the season wrap-up to pass along – but first, Ritchson checked in from set earlier today to let everyone know that he's back to work.

"Welp… we're back," Ritchson wrote in an Instagram post – and it's clear by the image that he shared that they're not wasting any time getting back to getting messy. "Season 3 of Reacher… crustier than ever." Here's a look at Ritchson's original post – followed by a look at the teaser promo that was released for the Season 2 finale of Prime Video's Reacher:

"I can't say too much about Season 3, but I will say there's a lot of classic 'Reacher' stories which are just adventures that he gets sucked into in a big way," Ritchson explained during a conversation with ComicBook.com. "And we get to enjoy Reacher in a new world. It may not have anything to do with family, with his past, he's just living that adventure out, and that's kind of the direction that we've gone – and it seems to really be working." But before we get to any of that, there's the not-so-small matter of the second-season finale awaiting us later this week – here's a look:

Reacher: What You Beed to Know About Season 2

Based on bestselling author Lee Child's 11th book in the series (Bad Luck and Trouble), Reacher sets out to find answers (and a lot of revenge) when members of his old military unit turn up dead. Serinda Swan (Coroner), Ferdinand Kingsley (The Sandman), and Robert Patrick (Peacemaker) have joined the cast as series regulars for the second season. In addition, Domenick Lombardozzi (Magnum P.I.), Luke Bilyk (DeGrassi: The Next Generation), Dean McKenzie (Shooter), Edsson Morales (Black Summer), Andres Collantes (Two Sentence Horror Stories), Shannon Kook-Chun (The 100), Ty Victor Olsson (Supernatural), Josh Blacker (See), and Al Sapienza (Coroner) are set to guest star. Maria Sten will return as Frances Neagley, with Shaun Sipos playing David O'Donnell.

Swan's Karla Dixon served with Reacher in the Army's unit of Special Investigators. She's an extremely intelligent private investigator who has no problem holding her own in a fight against men much larger than she is. Kingsley's A.M. is what Homeland Security calls a "ghost;" he operates under a number of aliases and can pass for any nationality. Money is his only motivation, and he'll work for the highest bidder.

Patrick's Shane Langston is a streetwise former NYPD detective with a questionable track record who is now head of security for a private defense contractor. Lombardozzi's Guy Russo is a tough NYPD detective who's investigating a case that involves several of Reacher's former Army cohorts. Olsson's Saropian is a brutal professional hitman who is charged with following members of Reacher's old elite military squad. Blacker's Hortense Fields is a Lt. Colonel in the Army who oversees Reacher's Elite 110th – Special Investigator's Unit. Sapienza's Marsh is a formidable lieutenant with the NYPD.

As previously reported, the rest of Reacher's former Special Investigator Task Force includes Bilyk as Calvin Franz, McKenzie as Stan Lowery, Morales as Manuel Orozco, Collantes as Jorge Sanchez, and Kook-Chun as Tony Swan. The series is produced by Amazon Studios, Skydance Television & Paramount TV Studios, with Child also serving as an executive producer with showrunner Nick Santora. In addition to Santora and Child, the series is executive produced by Don Granger, Scott Sullivan, and Adam Higgs, with David Ellison, Dana Goldberg, and Bill Bost for Skydance.
