New has reached us today that Amazon has renewed Reacher for a second season, just days after the debut of the first. The series, based on the books by Lee Child, has been a huge hit already on the streaming service, reportedly amongst the top 5 series to land on Prime Video to date.
“The global impact of Reacher makes it one of Prime Video’s biggest series debuts, and we can’t wait to bring fans a second season of their new favorite show,” Amazon Studios head Jennifer Salke said in an official statement.
Reacher stars Alan Ritchson in the title role of Jack Reacher with the first series based on the book ‘Killing Floor’, which was released back in 1997.
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.
No news on which book the second series will be based on but we’ll keep you updated.
