Reacher is coming back for season two.
Prime Video announced that it has renewed hit series Reacher, three days after its adrenaline-fueled debut performance on the streaming service.
Since premiering on February 4, Reacher has commanded a Jack Reacher-sized global audience, ranking among Prime Video’s top five most-watched series ever in the U.S. and globally. With Reacher keeping viewers on the edge of their seats, the show is one of the most binged Original series ever on Prime Video, with many fans devouring all eight episodes of Season One in its first 24 hours of release. Reacher premiered exclusively on Prime Video in more than 240 countries and territories worldwide.
Based on the novels by Lee Child, who is an executive producer on the series, Reacher, starring Alan Ritchson (Titans, Smallville), is produced by Amazon Studios, Skydance Television, and Paramount TV Studios. Reacher is written for television by Emmy-nominated writer Nick Santora (Scorpion, Prison Break), who also executive produces and serves as showrunner.
The first season of Reacher follows Jack Reacher, a veteran military police investigator who has just recently entered civilian life. Reacher is a drifter, carrying no phone and the barest of essentials as he travels the country and explores the nation he once served. When Reacher arrives in the small town of Margrave, Georgia, he finds a community grappling with its first homicide in 20 years. The cops immediately arrest him and eyewitnesses claim to place Reacher at the scene of the crime. While he works to prove his innocence, a deep-seated conspiracy begins to emerge, one that will require Reacher’s keen mind and hard-hitting fists to deal with. One thing above all is for sure: They picked the wrong guy to take the fall.
