The show received positive reviews from critics and holds a 90% approval rating on Rotten Tomatoes. Considering that, a second season has been ordered, which will be based on Bad Luck and Trouble.

So, when is the second season releasing? What is the plot? Who would come back to reprise their roles? Continue reading to know further details.

Reacher Plot and Cast

Reacher Season 1 followed Jack’s search for whoever killed his brother, and by the end of the final episode, the case is pretty much wrapped up. With that mystery solved, Reacher decides to part ways with Margrave in search of something new, despite Roscoe’s hope to the contrary. “If you wander back, give me a call,” she says before handing Reacher a chocolate wrapper with her number written across it.

After he says his goodbyes, Reacher buries a medal in his brother’s resting place. And then, wiping away his tears, he begins to hitchhike onto pastures new. Season 1 was based on the first Jack Reacher book, Killing Floor, and it’s now been announced that the second season will be jumping ahead quite a bit – to book number 11, entitled Bad Luck and Trouble.

The lead cast members of Season 1 are expected to reprise their roles. This includes Alan Ritchson, Willa Fitzgerald, Chris Webster and Maria Sten.

Reacher Season 2 Release Date

Amazon Prime Video officially announced a renewal for Reacher just three days after season one’s launch, but we’re still waiting for a confirmed release date.

We know, thanks to a recent update from main man Ritchson, that “filming will commence this fall”, so we would expect new episodes to likely arrive by early 2023 or perhaps summer 2023.

Reacher Season 2 Trailer

It’s not too much of a reach to suggest that new footage from Reacher season two will arrive in the weeks leading up to its arrival. So that will likely be in early 2023. For now, you can watch the trailer of Season 1 below:
