Reacher Star Alan Ritchson Teases "New World" for Jack in Season 3

With filming on Season 3 already underway, Reacher star Alan Ritchson teases that viewers will get to see Jack in a "new world."

Fans of Prime Video and writer & showrunner Nick Santora's Alan Ritchson-starring Reacher are finding themselves in a very unique situation. While they're enjoying the second season, they do so knowing that Ritchson & the team are already hard at work bringing the third season to life. We got the heads-up directly from Ritchson back in December that a third season was on the way as a lead-in to a sneak preview of the second season. Along with sharing some looks & updates on how things are going with filming, Ritchson also recently shared some spoiler-free insight into what's ahead for the hero.

"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."

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.
