The upcoming second season of Reacher was first teased during the premiere screening for season 3 of the show which ended up being a colossal success. When asked about how much longer we might have to wait for the next chapter in Reacher’s life, Vernon Sanders said “we hope a little bit”.
It sounds like Sanders’ optimism is in part due to the buzz surrounding the show, and how popular Reacher continues to become. As the first Prime Video series based on the popular Reacher novels by author Lee Child, it is no surprise that fans are eager to see what happens next in Jack Reacher’s life.

What’s The Plotting Of “Reacher Season 2”?
The plot of Reacher Season 2 has been described as “a bit of a prequel” to the previous season. The storyline will focus specifically on the time period in which Reacher left the military. There is still no official word on whether Tom Cruise will appear in the new season, but it is worth noting that he did make a cameo appearance in one episode of the show’s first season, so he could return for a bigger role in the second.
The lead writer has also said “It [Season 2] will see him [Reacher] up against some bad guys who are pretty major players in his life and were taken offstage by him during his military career. It will be about finding out just what exactly happened to these people, and why.”
A former scene director for the show said he would like to see the show return to its military roots, which depicts a better portrayal of the ‘military police’ group which is often ignored by the rest of the TV series. “This is our military. This is how we do things. People don’t realize this but they make it really easy to ignore that there is all sort of civilian cops in our military police, who are doing rough stuff day to day.
What About The Release Date Of “Reacher Season 2”?
It Will Come on Sometime In 2023.
It was previously confirmed that Tom Cruise will not be featured as Jack Reacher in season two as the actor is committed to the upcoming “Top Gun” sequel. Because of this, it is highly unlikely that he will make an appearance in season two, and it is yet to be decided whether or not the new season will include an appearance by Cruise.
According to the show’s executive producer, there are no plans to reboot the franchise anytime soon and so its release date for season 2 has not yet been confirmed. However, based on what we already know about the upcoming series, it seems likely that fans will have to wait a few more months before they can catch up with Jack Reacher on their screens again.
What’s Interesting About “Reacher Season 2”?
Reacher Season 2 will introduce two new female leads, filmmaker Maria Sten as Frances Neagley and actress Serinda Swan as a U.S. Marshall. Both actresses are expected to play a major role in the second season and fans have taken to social media to express their excitement over the casting choices.
In a recent interview with Collider, Vernon Sanders suggested that Reacher Season 2 is likely to land sometime in 2023 and will follow on from season one’s storyline of Jack Reacher becoming a civilian again after his time serving in the military.
What’s The Review Of “Reacher Season 1”?
The first season of “Reacher” has been praised by critics, with many of them praising the casting of Tom Cruise and his portrayal of Jack Reacher. The new cast is said to have pulled off a near-perfect job at portraying Jack Reacher and the chemistry between all actors involved in the show is said to have produced “phenomenal” effects.
What’s The Box-Office Performance Of “Reacher Season 1”?
The first season of Reacher posted strong reviews from fans and critics, who praised the casting of Tom Cruise as Jack Reacher and his performance in the series as well. This is despite the fact that some of those same critics pointed out that Cruise was slightly too old to play Reacher, and was also not entirely convincing as a soldier. However, most of these critics were quick to admit that these flaws did not necessarily ruin the show, with many complimenting Cruise’s performance and criticizing him only for being “a bit too old” and insisting that he should have been given a different role instead.
