After the success of the show’s first season, it was only a matter of time before Amazon renewed Reacher for a second instalment. As expected, a former military police officer will soon return to fight more bad guys.

But given the popularity of the show and how many books Child has already written, a second series was always likely. This has been confirmed, and you don’t have long to wait to start watching. Here’s everything we know so far about Reacher season 2.

Reacher season 2 release date

Amazon didn’t wait too long to greenlight Reacher season 2. Only a few days after the season 1 premiere, the creators announced that the show was getting a second.

And now we have a confirmed release date. All new episodes will be available on Amazon Prime Video from Friday, 15 December 2023.

Reacher season 2 plot

Season 1 was based on Lee Child’s debut novel, Killing Floor. It was the first of 27 books currently available in the Jack Reacher series, with volume 28 set to arrive in October 2023.

However, Amazon has decided that the show’s second season will cover the events of volume 11 instead of volume 2. Skipping 10 books ahead is an unusual decision, but presumably there was never a plan to make each book a season in itself. Hopefully, everything that happens between books 2-10 will still make sense.

So what will Reacher season 2 be about? Here’s what the official description says:

Reacher is pulled from his vagabond life by a coded message informing him that a member of the 110th – his elite group of Army Special Investigators – has been murdered. He and some of his former military cohorts reunite to investigate and soon realize the case is bigger than they ever could have imagined.

It seems that Reacher season 2 will be a revenge story. The ex-soldier will join forces with Frances Neagley to track down those responsible for the deaths of his friends.

Reacher season 2 cast

In season 2, Alan Ritchson will reprise his role as Jack Reacher. Maria Sten will return as Frances Neagley, a private detective and Jack’s friend.

New additions to the cast include:

Serinda Swan as Karla Dixon

Shain Sipos as David O’Donnell
