Amazon Prime Video has announced the return of the critically acclaimed series, Reacher, much to the excitement of fans. Fans of the program were delighted to see that Prime Video extended the program for a second season in February 2022, almost instantly after the premiere of its first season.
While a specific date has not been confirmed for the show's arrival, it was revealed that the show will be returning for its second season on the streaming giant this December.
Based on Lee Child's widely recognized action thriller book series, Jack Reacher, the show follows the story of Jack Reacher, an ex-US Army major who moves across America in search of odd jobs to seek the truth behind suspicious and often nefarious activities occurring in different communities. Fans are excited to witness more of the character's escapades after the critically and commercially successful first season.
In an interview with Collider, the head of television of Amazon Studios, Vernon Sanders talked about the upcoming season of the show and commented,
"It's going really well. Alan is back, and he is so fantastic in the role. I'm so proud of the producers [for] finding that fit for Reacher. The fans of the book, their reaction to the show has just been a dream. Season 2 is awesome. And as great as season one was, I think season two delivers beyond that."
Reacher season 2 promises to be a thrilling escapade for viewers
The 11th novel in the Jack Reacher series, Bad Luck and Trouble, serves as the inspiration for the second season of the show. The plot of the novel follows Jack as he looks into a string of homicides in a small Florida community.
Frances Neagley, a buddy from their time in the military, contacts Reacher in the book to inform him that several members of their previous military police unit had been slain. When Jack arrives in Florida to conduct his investigation, he quickly learns that the killings are linked to a powerful conspiracy.
The show's second season will undoubtedly be an exciting and suspenseful journey. To solve the killings and learn the truth about the conspiracy, Jack will need to draw on all of his knowledge and expertise. He will come up against violent criminals, dishonest officials, and even some of his old allies along the road.
While the cast for season 2 of the show hasn't been announced yet, viewers can expect some of their favorite stars to return onscreen based on the short reel released by Amazon Prime Video.
