Jack Reacher: TV Series in the Works Based on Lee Child Books

by Jessica Pena, November 15, 2018

Jack Reacher TV Show: (canceled or renewed?)

Is Jack Reacher coming to the small screen? Deadline reports there is a TV show in the works based on the Lee Child books and Tom Cruise movies.

The franchise centers on Jack Reacher, a former military officer who begins investigating crimes. The book series has spawned two feature films starring Tom Cruise as Reacher.

In an interview with BBC Radio Manchester, Child said he is working on a Jack Reacher TV series. Unfortunately, Cruise will not be involved in the project, but you can read more info below:

I really enjoyed working with Cruise. He’s a really, really nice guy. We had a lot of fun. But ultimately the readers are right. The size of Reacher is really, really important and it’s a big component of who he is… So what I’ve decided to do is – there won’t be any more movies with Tom Cruise. Instead we’re going to take it to Netflix or something like that. Long-form streaming television, with a completely new actor.”

What do you think? Are you a fan of the Jack Reacher books and/or movies? Would you watch the TV show?

Would love to see these books in a tv series. A few actor suggestions. I know you said maybe an unknown but I feel that a lesser known actor we would relate to more.
Stanley Weber. Pilou Asbaek. Max Brown. Craig Horner.. Craig Parker. Looking forward to the series.

I thoroughly enjoyed reading and hearing Lee Child’s Jack Reacher series, However, I cannot stand Tom Cruise – that smile all teeth his ties to Scientology – his acting is strictly – I’m tom cruise hear me roar is not acting it’s just his sort of patented trademark – So I would not enjoy watching any movies with Cruise and have not watched them past the first Mission Impossible years ago – will be so glad to see a Reacher in the style I’ve imagined Chid’s character is so can hardly wait for the new tv series and announcement –… Read more »

I love all things Reacher. We definitely want a Reacher TV Series and here is the guy to play the part. Jeff Bosley, 6’5′, former Green Beret, Special Ops soldier, Acting credentials are in place and he WANTS the part. I agree he should be the new Reacher!!

I’m on the Bosley bandwagon, but my hope is — and this can be done — they do something to not show Bosley’s tatoos. I don’t think Reacher would paint himself up.

Jack Reacher.

Jack Reacher Is a man of age, not boyish ,righteous, a big tall ex military man ,strong but not Mr. Universe , contained ,smart , independent with a air of confidence and knows who he is.

Lee child is very specific in describing Reacher, , finally get the right actor to portray Jack Reacher as Lee Child intended fair , square solid and right,….in conclusive as to a actors draw at the.box Office possible choice , Alexander Skarsgård
I love. The Reacher books

From the time I read the first novel, Liev Schreiber was the actor I pictured in the role. He’s the right height and build and has proven he can play tough guy roles like Ray Donovan.

In the book series, Jack Reacher possesses preternatural strength and capacity for violence. However, this attribute is matched by his ability to deduce conclusions from seemingly small details. Yet, Jack Reacher is not a cold-hearted person. For the television series, the actor must be significantly larger than the norm, probably 6feet 5 inches or more. He must, also, emanate a presnece that elicits both fear and respect simultaneiously. Further, his visage can only be minimally attractive, pretty boys will not work in this character.

Alexander Skarsgård would be my choice. Tarzan for muscles and True Blood for attitude.
and he already has blond hair

I kinda want more films, although i think if there are, they should be Cruise, just for continuity.

But Hope there is a series. With a giant.

Unfortunately? Reacher is supposed to be 6’5″ and about 230. Tom Cruise playing him is an absolute joke, and I couldn’t get past that fact to get into the movies. Hopefully they get someone more appropriately sized to play him.

as an avid reader of the books couldn’t agree more. Enjoyed the movies but they were never as convincing with Cruise in the role

I enjoyed Cruise in this role. You do not have to be 6.5 to be heroic. You just have to be good.
