Reacher on Amazon Prime is based off the books by Lee Child, with Season 2 adapting the thrilling novel Bad Luck and Trouble.

It follows Reacher and Neagley (Maria Sten) as they investigate the murders of two members of their elite special forces unit. But in the run up to Reacher returning to the streaming waves, Ritchson surprised fans with the big news: Season 3 already is in the works. Alan Ritchson has been active on his social media accounts, sharing images from the set of Reacher Season 3. That is both a vote of confidence for this upcoming season, and a thrill for fans because we won’t have to wait as long to see new episodes once this one has wrapped in January. I got the chance to speak with Ritchson ahead of Reacher Season 2, and as our conversation closed, I asked him which Lee Child book they were going to do for Season 3.

Ahead of Reacher season 3, star Alan Ritchson has signed up for a new Netflix action movie.

As per Deadline, Ritchson will lead War Machine. Right now, plot details are super thin on the ground, with no release date forthcoming, but the outlet has an intriguing synopsis to go alongside the casting news: “In the final 24 hours of the world’s toughest selection process, a team of Army Rangers encounter a threat beyond their imagination.”

The film, from Lionsgate, will be written and directed by Patrick Hughes – who you may know from The Expendables 3, The Hitman’s Bodyguard, and The Hitman’s Wife’s Bodyguard.

“This one’s gonna be big,” Ritchson wrote on Instagram.

Reacher season 3 is currently filming. Ritchson – who plays the titular, towering force of nature – shared an image from the start of production back in January.

Ritchson later revealed that Reacher season 3 will adapt Persuader, the seventh entry in Lee Child’s book series.

“That’s right, here comes the big reveal: The book for season 3 of Reacher takes place in Maine, ‘Persuader’. One of the best books there is, a gripping, skillful blend of spies and non-stop action… I can’t wait for you to see this season,” Ritchson wrote at the time on Instagram.

The Reacher actor is currently booked and busy – but admits he would “love” to play one of Hollywood’s most coveted superhero roles.

“The fact that people are interested in me playing Batman is a real honor and privilege,” Ritchson, who was once in the frame to play Thor in the MCU, told the Post Cred Podcast. “It’s one of the first characters I fell in love with as a child: I still remember the big, long pistol coming out of Joker’s pants as he goes to shoot down the Batplane.”
