'Reacher' Star Drops Major Hints About Show's Future

It sounds like there is a lot more "Reacher" on the way for fans to enjoy.

The hit Amazon series with Alan Ritchson has been a hit since its February 2022 premiere, and an outstanding season two recently wrapped up.

The show isn't woke at all. Instead, it does this crazy thing where it just focuses on being incredibly fun and entertaining. Very refreshing! Season three is currently in production, and judging from some recent comments from the show's star, there will definitely be more seasons to come.

Ritchson said the following on BroBible’s Post Credit Podcast:

"I’ve read all the books, there are some that I think will adapt to TV beautifully, there are some that may not, but are still great books. Die Trying is personally my favorite book. I hope and believe we could be getting to that one soon…But Persuader is top five on almost every list when you talk about Reacher rankings, so I know it’s one of the crowd favorites and I’m really proud that we’re doing it. It is one of the really pure adventures where it’s just Reacher being Reacher, and he’s in a really interesting quandary for most of the story. I think it’s going to be a blast for people and I’m glad we’re doing it."

Alan Ritchson hints more "Reacher" seasons will be made.

Translation: It definitely sounds like Ritchson and Amazon plan on adapting more of Lee Child's popular books. Admittedly, I've never read the books, but that's okay.

Sometimes it's best to go into a show or movie completely blind. It doesn't allow false expectations to be set.

The first two seasons of "Reacher" have been an incredibly fun ride. The show is packed full of action, suspense, violence, there's clear good guys and bad guys, the good guys beat the daylights out of the bad guys and it's a ton of fun to watch unfold.

A lot of what Hollywood produces is comically bad. A lot of it is woke garbage. Long gone are the days where focusing on entertainment is the goal.

"Reacher" is one of the rare shows outside of what Taylor Sheridan does that is simply great. You can throw it on and binge several episodes without getting bored.

Now, Alan Ritchson is openly hinting that more seasons are on the way after season three. That's music to my ears and the ears of millions of other fans. Hopefully, season three lives up to the hype, and we get several more. Hollywood would be a lot more successful if it followed the same model as "Reacher."
