Reacher is Ready to Come Home This September
Fans of Alan Ritchson’s Reacher will want to get their hands on him before Season 3.
A third season is now in the works, and it has now been revealed that the next Jack Reacher adventure will be based on the seventh book in the series, “Persuader,” which finds the character going undercover to rescue an informant held by a haunting foe from his past. Ritchson will, of course,return to lead the series, with Season 3 all set to add several intriguing new characters to the roster, including several villains that will rival Reacher’s size and strength.One such villain is Paulie, who it has now been confirmed will be played byBlack WidowandIndiana Jones and the Dial of Destinystar Olivier Richters, aka “The Dutch Giant.” Far bigger and more powerful than the already big and powerful Reacher, this clash of the titans should provide all manner of action in the highly anticipated third season.
ReacherSeason 3 is due to debut on Prime Video in 2025.
