Reacher season 2 will be available to purchase on Blu-ray starting Tuesday, Sept. 17, 2024. So is it worth getting the second year of the Prime Video hit?

After fizzling a bit as a movie franchise, mostly due to the bad casting of Tom Cruise, Lee Childs’ long-running Jack Reacher novels got a second chance on Prime Video via the TV show version. The title character, played by Alan Ritchson, is a former U.S. Army investigator whose hulking build hides his brilliant deductive mind.

The Reacher season 2 Blu-ray DVD, available to purchase on Amazon, comes in a two-disc set with 1080p resolution, an aspect ratio of 2.00:1 and DTS-hd Master Audio 5.1. It looks fantastic, popping in detail and a great sound mix to sound wonderful.

Sadly, there are no extra bonus features. No interviews, deleted scenes, or “making of” features which is a big letdown.

Adams), who has a photographic memory and joins Harvey Specter (Gabriel Macht) at a prestigious law firm.

The experience of watching live sports is thrilling enough but time and time again TV shows have proven that a scripted series about a fictional team giving their all to a game while standing side-by-side is also very entertaining.

Marvel’s ‘Multiverse Saga’ is all set to end with the climactic cinematic event Avengers: Secret Wars. Even though the film is a long way ahead, the MCU has probably begun to set up the ultimate battle between the Avengers and the multiversal threat. Many antagonists such as Kang the Conqueror and Doctor Doom have been rumored to be the villains.

While the film will definitely see many of the superheroes established from the beginning of the MCU make an appearance, one group that will not be seen is the Inhumans. Debunking a rumor that the Inhumans (as seen in the series) would be appearing in the film, Black Bolt actor Anson Mount ridiculed the page that broke the news and denied his involvement.

The Marvel Cinematic Universe is big and expansive and has been around since Robert Downey Jr.’s Iron Man bounded into our screens in his flying suit. Now, after more than a decade in business, Marvel Studios seems to be in a slump, as their last few projects have not made the audiences very happy. But fans are still holding in to hope that the coming projects will fare better than the previous ones.

Former U.S. Army military police major Jack Reacher (Alan Ritchson) will be coming back for another edge-of-your-seat season of Reacher.

After shoving the head of security and all-things-evil, Shane Langston (Robert Patrick), out of a moving aircraft for killing members of his unit in Season 2, Reacher is all set for more vigilante justice.

News of the muscular hero's return came almost immediately following the finale of Season 2 when Ritchson took to Twitter/X with the announcement. One can only imagine who will be on the receiving end of Reacher's fist.

The Amazon Prime Video action crime streaming TV series was a big hit after it debuted on February 4, 2022, where Reacher finds himself in the town of Margrave, Georgia.

With the help of two police officers, Roscoe Conklin and Oscar Finlay, Reacher sets out to investigate local corruption.

After wowing audiences with an action-packed first season, it seemed only logical for...

Anthony Michael Hall (Halloween Kills) and Sonya Cassidy (The Man Who Fell to Earth) have joined the cast of Prime Video’s Reacher as series regulars for the upcoming third season. Hall and Cassidy join series stars Alan Ritchson and Maria Sten in the new season which is based on Lee Child’s Persuader, the seventh book of the Jack Reacher series.

Per Prime Video: “Anthony Michael Hall has been cast as Zachary Beck. A formidable and successful businessman, Beck is a widow and single father of a 20-year-old son, Richard. He is the owner of a rug import company that Reacher and his cohorts suspect is a cover for a more nefarious operation.”

Sonya Cassidy’s character, Susan Duffy, is described as “an extremely intelligent and tough DEA agent from Boston...

Viewers of Reacher have now had one week to decompress, perhaps rewind, and think about how archvillain Shane Langston (Robert Patrick) finally got his in the season two finale.

After saving love interest Karla Dixon (Serinda Swan) from dropping mid-air out of a helicopter, Jack Reacher (Alan Ritchson) — while strapped to a gurney and with a knife stuck in his arm — goes to retrieve Langston and deliver him the same fate that had been handed to many of our series hero’s friends: being thrown out of a flying aircraft.

The scene was rewarding to viewers of Prime Video’s action-packed hit series. And it turns out that scene was also one of the highlights for Reacher showrunner Nick Santora. Santora doesn’t make light of how much he is a fan of both author Lee Child’s books (the source material for the series) and his lead actor, Ritchson.

Lee Child’s seventh book of the Jack Reacher series, Persuader, will serve as the source material for season three of Prime Video’s Reacher. The streaming service confirmed which book was adapted for the new season as filming is currently underway in Toronto.

Prime Video also announced that Maria Sten (Swamp Thing) will reprise her role as Frances Neagley in the upcoming season. Alan Ritchson returns to star in the titular role.

Season three will find Reacher going undercover “to rescue an informant held by a haunting foe from his past.”

This post contains spoilers for "Reacher" season 2

Season 1 of Prime Video's "Reacher" was a big hit for the streamer, topping the Nielsen streaming charts back in 2022. Now, with the arrival of season 2, Jack Reacher has triumphed once again. Not only has he overcome Robert Patrick's insidious Shane Langston in an explosive season finale, but he's once again garnered enough ratings to hit the number 2 spot on the Nielsen charts for the show's first week of release (Nielsen releases their stats a lot later than you'd think).

This all suggests that Prime Video has a reliable hit on its hands with "Reacher." Prior to the show's debut, two Tom Cruise-starring films came and went, upsetting fans of Lee Child's Jack Reacher novels in the process who felt that Cruise's diminutive stature wasn't quite the embodiment of Child's hulking ex-Military Police officer. But "Reacher" introduced the 6-ft 3-inch,...

Season 2 of the series is based on “Bad Luck and Trouble,” the 11th book in Lee Child’s Jack Reacher novel series. The season begins when veteran military police investigator Jack Reacher (Alan Ritchson) receives a coded message that the members of his former U.S. Army unit, the 110th MP Special Investigations, are being mysteriously and brutally murdered one by one. Pulled from his drifter lifestyle, Reacher reunites with three of his former teammates turned chosen family to investigate, including Frances Neagley (Maria Sten); Karla Dixon (Serinda Swan), a forensic accountant for whom Reacher has long had a soft spot; and fast-talking,...

This post contains spoilers for Season 2 of "Reacher."

The penultimate episode of "Reacher" season 2 ends on a cliffhanger, where Jack Reacher (Alan Ritchson) makes an impossible choice: he walks straight into the lion's den to save his dear friends. Things haven't been rosy for Reacher and his pals since the new season's inception, as the catalyst for the group banding together was the death of their mutual friend, Calvin Franz (Luke Bilyk), who served alongside them in the 110th Special Investigations Unit.

At the end of season 1, we see Reacher leaving Margrave to continue his wandering lifestyle, but the nature of this new case forces him to contend with his self-inflicted loneliness and tendency to keep people at bay. With his friends' lives on the line, Reacher must completely embrace his maverick spirit and throw a comically evil dude out of a helicopter to avenge his dead friends. And in typical Reacher fashion,...

At this point, it's fair to say "Reacher" season 2 is a dramatic improvement on the first. Not only does the new season feel so much bigger than its predecessor (which was hampered somewhat by pandemic-imposed restrictions), the story is much more engaging than the small-town conspiracy Alan Ritchson's hero thwarted last time around. Part of that is down to the legend that is Robert Patrick, who brings a specific kind of seedy menace to the role of antagonist Shane Langston, paying homage to his classic James Cameron villain, the T-1000, in the process. But the camaraderie between Reacher and his former Army unit, the Special Investigators, makes for a more compelling watch, too.

That said, there's no doubt fans of the show will be missing the rag-tag group from season 1. When Jack Reacher first hit Prime Video in 2022, he arrived in the small town of Margrave,...

This post contains spoilers for "Reacher" season 2, episode 7.

Jack Reacher has never been one to abide by the rules. In Lee Child's "Persuader," the seventh novel in the "Jack Reacher" series, Reacher goes out of his way to work for the Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) to crack down on a trafficker, deliberately breaking a handful of official rules just to do the right thing. This kernel of dogged perseverance has always been an integral part of Reacher's personality in every iteration of his character, and "Reacher" season 2 continues this tradition by allowing him to break the rules yet again.

In "Reacher" season 2's seventh and penultimate episode, Reacher and his team — his colleagues at the 110th Special Investigations Unit years ago — are backed against the wall thanks to the machinations of Shane Langston (Robert Patrick) and the elusive A.M. (Ferdinand Kingsley). In the previous episode, "New York's Finest,...

Ask Alan Ritchson which action hero's footsteps Jack Reacher follows in, and the answer might surprise you: this week, the "Reacher" star told Variety that he thinks his hulking, skull-knocking do-gooder shares some DNA with Harrison Ford action heroes of decades past. Why? Both men tend to grumble their way through their action scenes as if they're spitting mad at the idea of having to pause whatever they were already doing that day to kick some butt.

"The way that he can make you laugh as he grunts the line through gritted teeth," Ritchson tells the outlet, "We don't have a lot of men that can do that these days." Variety cites both Arnold Schwarzenegger and Sylvester Stallone as two '80s stars whose work the actor admires, but Ford brings something different to the table, a quality that Jack Reacher has too. "It's something that I like to bring to characters,...

When Jack Reacher (Alan Ritchson) first arrives in Margrave in the pilot of "Reacher," he meets Oscar Finlay (Malcolm Goodwin), the Chief Detective of the Margrave Police Department, who is investigating the same murder case Reacher wants to solve. Sporting wildly contrasting philosophies, Reacher and Finlay do not get along too well initially but decide to become allies throughout the series, with Finlay coming in clutch and saving Reacher heroically towards the end. As Finlay is one of the few characters who maintain a deep bond with Reacher, fans anticipated his return in the newest season, despite the narrative's massive time jump and the decision to adapt "Bad Luck and Trouble", the 11th book in the "Jack Reacher" series.

Exclusive: Reacher Season 2 has been crowned No. 1 at Amazon.

The first three episodes of the second season debuted on December 15 and quickly resonated with audiences. In fact, those episodes surpassed the entire Season 1 audience by 50% in the first three days on the streamer.

Reacher is now the No. 1 title of the year for Prime Video in terms of total viewers across all series and films globally. Currently, the series is available in more than 180 countries.

Season 1 already seemed like a home run for Amazon, racking up 1.84B minutes viewed across all eight episodes in the U.S. (which were released all at once) during its premiere weekend in March 2022, according to Nielsen streaming data. Since Nielsen only measures domestically, that wouldn’t give an indication of how the series is performing internationally.

[This story contains mild spoilers to the three-episode premiere of season two of Reacher.]

During the three-episode opener of Reacher’s season two premiere, audiences found the nomadic muscle-bound former leader of an elite military unit in Lee Child’s best-selling novels trying to live the same discreet unnoticeable life as best as a 6-foot-5 Herculean-framed man could do.

All Jack Reacher, played by Alan Ritchson, wants to do is stay to himself, explore America, and quietly observe the compulsions and actions of everyday people. It’s not really his desire to socialize or get involved in the lives of others, but as the first episode of season two confirms, his code of what is right and wrong won’t let the former military officer sit back when he sees a crime in progress. In this case, he senses a woman nervously taking money out of an Atm machine to deliver to a carjacker, who is holding her child hostage down the street.

Reacher Season 2 Review(Photo Credit –IMDb) Reacher Season 2 Review: What’s It About:

Reacher Season 2 is the latest installment in Prime Video’s adaptation of the beloved character, written by Lee Child. The character has been around for decades, but just now, even after a couple of adaptations with Tom Cruise as the lead, Reacher is finally coming around, winning fans all over the world. In this new season, which adapts the novel “Bad Luck and Trouble,” we see Reacher meeting with the members of his old unit in the military as they work together to reveal a dreadful conspiracy that threatens to kill them all.

Reacher...

Of all the shows airing these days, it doesn't seem fair to criticize "Reacher" for its lack of realism. Like the books before it, the Amazon TV series is a wish-fulfillment fantasy series for middle-aged dads (which is not to suggest other people don't love it too) and is not intended to hold up to a thorough fact-checking. Audiences love Jack Reacher because there's something inherently appealing about his lack of life commitments and his ability to beat up and outsmart any bad guy who crosses his path; it's not because they genuinely find it believable that Reacher would uncover a mass criminal conspiracy on an annual basis.

That said, author Lee Child still did his due diligence with Reacher's military background, and so did the writers for the "Reacher" TV series. The first three episodes of season 2 put a lot of focus on Reacher's time as the leader of...

Reacher’s back, and he is fixin’ for a fight with whomever murdered one of his old Army pals.

Season 2 of Prime Video’s Reacher (the first three episodes are now streaming) opened with the Xxl wanderer navigating his latest rotation of clothes at a thrift shop when he gets word, via a coded bank deposit amount, to check in with former team member Neagley (played again by Season 1 returnee Maria Sten). Learning that one of their colleagues from the 110th MP Special Investigations Unit has been murdered, Reacher makes tracks for New York, meeting up with Neagley in a Brooklyn diner.

This post contains spoilers for the first three episodes of "Reacher" season 2.

When a band of thugs break into Jack Reacher's hotel room in Lee Child's "Bad Luck and Trouble," they find no luggage to go through, save for a toothbrush they snap angrily in half. When Reacher finds out, he's understandably pissed: the toothbrush was the only thing he was carrying while drifting from place to place, save for passports that he kept on his person. There's a reason why Child's 11th novel in the "Jack Reacher" series was such a sensation when it hit the stands. This was the first time Reacher was forced to abandon his vagabond ways and work closely with a team of friends he had not spoken to for years. This sudden sense of destabilization, coupled with the realization that his friends were the targets of a dark conspiracy, pushed Reacher to depths never breached before.

When it comes to red carpet interviews, one minute is fair, three minutes is great and 10 minutes, well, that just never happens. Alan Ritchson generously proved to be an exception to the rule on Wednesday night when the Reacher star spent a chunk of time speaking with The Hollywood Reporter inside L.A.’s Culver Theater, on the eve of the season two debut of his Prime Video series.

It’s a miracle he had any time to spare. Two weeks ahead of the season two premiere on Dec. 15, Amazon confirmed it had renewed the series for a third season, which is currently filming. Hot on the heels of that news, the studio confirmed that the 41-year-old had inked a multiyear first-look film deal with his AllyCat Entertainment through Amazon MGM Studios. It’s no surprise they locked him down after Reacher became Prime Video’s most watched original series...

Ever since “Reacher: Season One” hit the streamiverse (is that a word?), fans have been speculating and salivating about the arrival of the next of Lee Childs’ 28 Reacher novels to provide the source material for another round with their icon. Season One was based on the first and included the childhood part of Reacher’s backstory that shaped his values. This one is based on the 11th, Bad Luck and Trouble, which seems apt for the medium, despite being out of sequence. This one shows us the strong military ties and allegiances, explaining more about his character and skills.

For those who’ve only seen the Tom Cruise Reacher movies, prepare for a major tone shift. Alan Ritchson is a laconic, focused hulk who is supposedly much truer to the Jack Reacher of the novels than the diminutive and perkier Mr. Cruise. I advise starting with Season One, since some...

To date, half of the cast of the 2011 A&e drama Breakout Kings has landed roles on Prime Video’s Reacher — which leads Serinda Swan to posit in the TVLine video above that Reacher is some sort of “secret” reunion series.

Co-created by Prison Break vets Nick Santora — aka the Reacher showrunner — and Matt Olmstead, Breakout Kings followed a task force assembled by the U.S. Marshals to capture prison escapees. In addition to Swan, the cast included Domenick Lombardozzi, Malcolm Goodwin, Laz Alonso, Jimmi Simpson and Brooke Nevin.

"Reacher" returns this week for a new season of righteous butt-kicking, and fans of Lee Child's super-popular book series will no doubt tune in. A straightforward action show on the surface, "Reacher" is elevated by a self-aware sense of humor, complex season-long mysteries, and an ensemble of unorthodox crime-solvers who are as brainy as they are battle-ready. At a press day /Film's Jacob Hall attended ahead of the show's season 2 premiere (you can read our season 2 review here), the cast of the new season contemplated the far-ranging, uh, reach of "Reacher." Namely, they responded to a comment about the show and book series' audience, which at one point was found to be made up of 60% women.

Why are women drawn to "Reacher," a series whose premise makes it sound like it would perpetuate the same toxic masculinity-fueled tropes as countless other "violent man on a road to vengeance" action sagas?...

Plot: Reacher is pulled from his vagabond life by a coded message informing him that a member of the 110th – his elite group of Army Special Investigators – has been murdered. He and some of his former military cohorts reunite to investigate and soon realize the case is bigger than they ever could have imagined.

Review: After two feature films starring Tom Cruise, the Prime Video version of Reacher brought Alan Richtson into the title role to personify the physical stature of Lee Child’s vision for the character. The first season of Reacher was not quite a mystery and not quite an action series but was closer to the novels than Cruise’s take on the tale. Fans took to the new Reacher, and a second season was ordered early, with a third on the way before the sophomore run even debuted. Luckily, the second season of Reacher is even better than the first,...

Jack Reacher is larger-than-life in more ways than one. The jacked, fight-ready ex-military investigator protagonist of Lee Child's long-running book series (it has 28 novels and counting) cuts an imposing figure, but he also looms large as a sort of modern legend. Child has spoken before about Reacher as a sort of knight-errant, a being with no beginning and no end who appears when called to rescue the innocent and punish the evil. By now, he's more myth than man, and Prime Video's slyly hilarious, action-packed adaptation knows it. In the new second season, "Reacher" has earned its confidence, and while it occasionally struggles to mix levity and heaviness, the strange brew mostly works.

"Strange" is the key word here, as "Reacher" season 2 highlights — and celebrates _ how truly unusual the popular franchise's particular appeal is. Jack Reacher (Alan Ritchson) has all the ra-ra spirit and obsession with punishment one would...

Viewers can expect some “Reacher-size cracks” in the superstoic man mountain’s emotional accessibility when Season 2 of the Prime Video thriller begins streaming this Friday (with the first three episodes of eight).
