Prime Video Orders Reacher Season Two

Amazon Prime Video has renewed its series Reacher for a second season, just days after its February 4 debut.

Based on the novels by Lee Child, the series follows Jack Reacher, a veteran military police investigator who has just recently entered civilian life. When he arrives in a small town, he finds a community grappling with its first homicide in over two decades and becomes the prime suspect.

In its first weekend, Reacher was among Prime Video’s highest-rated original series ever among Prime customers. It also ranks among Prime Video’s top five most-watched series ever in the U.S. and globally.

Reacher is produced by Amazon Studios, Skydance Television and Paramount Television Studios. Showrunner and writer Nick Santora (Scorpion, Prison Break) serves as executive producer alongside Child, Don Granger, Scott Sullivan and Skydance’s David Ellison, Dana Goldberg and Bill Bost.

“The phenomenal debut of Reacher is a testament to Lee Child’s creation of one of entertainment’s most well-known heroes, Nick Santora’s original approach to the storytelling, Alan Ritchson’s brilliant embodiment of the character and the dedication of the talented people who worked tirelessly in front of and behind the camera to make such an undeniably binge-worthy series,” said Jennifer Salke, head of Amazon Studios. “The global impact of Reacher makes it one of Prime Video’s biggest series debuts, and we can’t wait to bring fans a second season of their new favorite show.”

“The entire Reacher team—cast, production, writers, etc.—is so happy with the wonderful reception the show has received,” added Santora. “Amazon, Skydance and Paramount have been such fantastic partners, and everyone is excited to roll up their sleeves and get to work on what will be a great season two.”

Childs said, “Partnering with Amazon Studios for season one of Reacher was a total delight; they had our backs every step of the way, and it really shows in every line and every frame. So, I’m thrilled we’ll be working together again for season two. This is very exciting news, and I can’t wait to get started. Reacher couldn’t be in better hands.”
