Reacher is returning for a second season on Prime Video, and there’s been a change in casting. Robert Patrick (Peacemaker) has replaced Rory Cochrane in the action series. The switch is happening before Cochrane filmed any episodes. He had to depart the role due to a scheduling conflict.
Alan Ritchson, Maria Sten, Shaun Sipos, Serinda Swan, and Ferdinand Kingsley star in the Reacher series that revolves around a former US Army military policeman. The Prime Video action drama debuted in February 2022 and was written by Nick Santora, the series’ showrunner.
Season two of Reacher is based on Bad Luck and Trouble, the 11th book in Lee Child’s bestselling Jack Reacher series. The story follows what happens when Reacher’s former military unit starts showing up dead. Reacher has only one thing on his mind when that starts happening – revenge.
Per Deadline, Patrick’s character “is a streetwise former NYPD detective with a questionable track record who is now head of security for a private defense contractor.”
A premiere date for Reacher season two will be announced later.
What do you think? Have you seen this show? Are you excited to see the second season of the Reacher series?
Looking forward to Series 2. Fantastic first series…excellent casting and production.
So excited it’s returning for 2nd season
The first season was fantastic and truer to the novels than the movies. The lead actor is perfect as Reacher, and the storyline was great. Looking forward to Season 2!!
Fantastic show and lead actor is perfect in the Reacher role. Can’t wait for Season 2!!
Whatever, you’ll tell us anything.
T-1000 smooches into this show now.
Love Jack Reacher!!!
Why the long wait, over a year and a half, really!!! Get on with it or you may lose some of your loyal fans.
That is a rather big replacement. While Robert Patrick certainly has acting “chops” and played intense characters before, he is also past his physical prime years. Till now, the character ‘Reacher’ has been portrayed by actors who were in their physical prime. Or at least a lot closer than Patrick currently is.
Somehow, I would have thought that an actor like Jon Bernthal would be a better fit for this role. He did a marvelous job in ‘The Punisher’-series.
Ah well, let’s see. At least season 1 of Reacher was good.
Please reread the article. Ritchson is not being replaced and will continue to play the main character. Patrick is replacing Cochrane and it looks like a good fit for the role (“corrupt cop turned private defense contractor”), in my opinion. Not sure I’d want to keep watching if he actually was replacing Ritchson as Reacher! LOVE Ritchson in this role!
Just letting you know so you don’t have to feel too disappointed! Have a great day 🙂
Alan Ritchson is still the actor in the role of Teacher. The replacement is a different character.
Love this show Alan please kept his role so good actor was on Smallville green arrow 10 years ago was the best actor guest star including Star titans live action series on hbo max yo
Love Reacher! Can’t wait for season 2. A big fan of Alan Ritchson.
Who is replaced by Robert Patrick, so you won’t see Ritchson in season 2.
Reread the notice. Patrick will play a NYPD detective. Ritchson is still playing the Reacher role.
Looking fowar To season two!
Can’t wait!
