Once again Lee Child's literary character leaps from the page to the screen in the trailer for Reacher season 2. Check it out below.
After introducing a new take on Jack Reacher - one much closer to Lee Child's vision - with a clever adaptation of the first novel Killing Floor, Alan Ritchson is back as the drifter/ex-military cop. It's a role he handles very well - both in performance and stature - and if the trailer is anything to go by Reacher's more unstoppable than ever! Watching him take care of a car jacker with extreme efficiency is not only incredibly enjoyable, it perfectly captures what fans love about this character.
The second season is based on one of my favourite of the Reacher novels; Bad Luck and Trouble. Once again they've chosen a book in which Reacher has a personal stake in the situation, something that goes way beyond his everyday hatred of bad people - like the aforementioned car jacker. When members of his old team start showing up dead, Reacher and Frances Neagley (Maria Sten) assemble the surviving members of the 110th MP Special Investigators - Karla Dixon (Serinda Swan) and David O'Donnell (Shaun Sipos) - to track down the killers and dispense some of their own justice.
Recognisable moments from the book are certainly present, like a certain helicopter and a smash and grab raid on an office building. But it would appear that the showrunners have also tried to put a fresh spin on the story - something that certainly worked out well with the first season. What really stands out however, is the team dynamic. They look and sound like team mates. Already there's a hint that they're comfortable with each other, their characters slipping back into old roles. And the banter is a lot of fun, too. Seeing Reacher with them is clearly going to be a highlight.
I personally can't wait for this. I didn't need to see a trailer to be excited, but now I have (several times) and I have very high hopes for season 2. It looks like it's going to be a lot of fun, not to mention fast paced and action-packed - possibly more so than season 1 (we'll see).
The first three episodes will debut on Amazon Prime on 15th December, and the remaining five will air one a week every Friday.
