Reacher Plot and Cast

There is no news available regarding the plot of Reacher season 3 since the second season is yet to be released. Reacher Season 1 follows 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. Once the second season ends, we can predict the storyline of Reacher Season 3.

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