Upon its release, Amazon Prime’s Reacher starring action’s newest hard hitting hero Alan Ritchson was a colossal hit. A more legit interpretation of author Lee Child’s iconic warrior, Reacher hit the mark with fans and casual watchers alike with Ritchson’s star making performance, conspiracy laced heavy drama and unflinching blunt force trauma action sequences.
A fourth season has already been green lit ensuring fans that Ritchson’s Reacher is here to stay but season 3 is set to premiere February 20th, with the first three episodes and at this weekend’s CCXP event, a new teaser was unleashed for your viewing enjoyment showcasing more ass whipping from Ritchson’s nomadic anti-hero who always seems to be in the wrong place at the right time. Check out the new teaser below!
Season 3 continues the trend of adapting one of Childs’s Reacher novels and this time it’s the novel Persuader which finds Reacher on a new mission and going undercover to rescue an informant held by a foe from his past. The official book synopsis reads: “Ten years ago, a key investigation went sour, and someone got away with murder. Now, a chance encounter brings it all back. Now Reacher sees his one last shot. Some would call it vengeance. Some would call it redemption. Reacher would call it … justice.”
Maria Sten returns once again as Reacher’s faithful comrade Neagley (who is set to get a spinoff of her own) and new cast additions include Anthony Michael Hall, who is playing Zachary Beck, the likely antagonist this time around with additional cast members including Sonya Cassidy as DEA agent Susan Duffy. Brian Tee will play Quinn, while Johnny Berchtold stars as Beck’s son Richard. Roberto Montesinos, and Daniel David Stewart have roles as DEA agents Guillermo Villanueva and Steven Elliot respectively while Oliver Ritchers will play bodybuilder Paulie, who is bigger than Ritchson if you can believe it, and Paul Masserella will play Beck’s bodyguard.
Season 2 was just as immersive as the inaugural first set of episodes so I’m waiting impatiently for my next Reacher fix of hard hitting and unforgiving action and intrigue.
