Amazon is wasting no time in getting on with Season 3 with Reacher, with two new additions to the cast.

The series, which is based on the bestselling books by Lee Child, stars Alan Ritchson as veteran military police investigator Jack Reacher. Written by Nick Santora (Scorpion, Prison Break), who also executive produces and serves as showrunner, the show has become a notable success for Amazon. Season 2 – based on Bad Luck and Trouble, the 11th book in Child’s series of novels – was the most-watched title on Prime Video worldwide during its premiere weekend, with its global audience growing by 50 per cent between seasons in the first three days after the second season’s debut.

A third season was rapidly ordered, which will be based on the 7th book in Lee Child’s global best-selling series, Persuader. It will see Reacher go undercover to rescue an informant held by a haunting foe from his past.

Anthony Michael Hall and Sonya Cassidy have joined the show as series regulars for the third season. Anthony Michael Hall (Bosch: Legacy, Halloween Kills) has been cast as Zachary Beck. A formidable and successful businessman, Beck is a widow and single father of a 20-year-old son, Richard. He is the owner of a rug import company that Reacher and his cohorts suspect is a cover for a more nefarious operation. Sonya Cassidy (The Man Who Fell to Earth, Lodge 49) has been cast as Susan Duffy, an extremely intelligent and tough DEA agent from Boston with a sharp and sarcastic sense of humor.

As previously announced, Maria Sten will also return for Season 3 as Frances Neagley. Filming is currently under way in Toronto.

Amazon renews Reacher for Season 3

5th December 2023

Amazon Prime Video has already ordered a third chapter of Reacher.

The series, which is based on the bestselling books by Lee Child, stars Alan Ritchson as veteran military police investigator Jack Reacher. Written by Nick Santora (Scorpion, Prison Break), who also executive produces and serves as showrunner, the show is well on the way to repeating the success of Bosch – another of Amazon’s longest running and most popular original series, also based on a series of bestselling thriller novels (those ones are by Michael Connelly).

On 15th December, the show will return for Season 2, which is based on Bad Luck and Trouble, the 11th book in Child’s series of novels. That will see Reacher receive a coded message that the members of his former US Army unit, the 110th MP Special Investigations, are being mysteriously and brutally murdered one by one.

Before that can kick into action, though, Amazon has already given an early renewal to the show for a third run, with Ritchson breaking the news to fans directly from the set of the show in a surprise video. As well as sharing a clip from Season 2, Ritchson announced that production on Season 3 is already under way.
