JACK REACHER MOVIE SERIES ORDER TV
Santora is right about being able to adapt almost anything from the Reacher canon and make riveting TV for the fans. He told TVLine that we shouldn’t assume Die Trying will be the inspiration for the next season… but also not to assume they won’t go in chronological order. The good news is you can pick almost anything and you’re going to have a good story.” Amazon Studios “It’s just a question of everyone putting their heads together, talking it out and deciding what would be fun for fans. There’s a plethora to select from.”Īs to what he and the production team-which includes Child-will go with, Santora isn’t giving too much away. He says that “Lee Child has set up stories in small towns, in big cities… in the United States, and stories that take us to Europe…. Showrunner Nick Santora spoke to TVLine about tackling the Reacher-sized mountain of material he could work with. Those were the books that inspired the Tom Cruise films of 20. What isn’t likely to happen is that the show will take on either One Shot or Never Go Back.

They may even create brand-new storylines for him. Fans should probably expect the show to cherry-pick plotlines and characters from throughout the series. Realistically, no matter how popular Reacher is, it’s not going to run for 26 seasons. With that in mind, it’s certainly possible to see something really wild, like a multi-season adaptation of 61 Hours. She doesn’t actually appear until book six, Without Fail, but fans were pleasantly surprised to see her become part of the fabric of the show earlier. The show has already shown a willingness to shake things up by bringing in Neagley, Reacher’s trusted colleague from his military days. But why assume that the show will proceed through the books in any kind of order? There’s a small connective thread between Die Trying and Tripwire, so it makes more sense to adapt book two before book three. When that detective turns up brutally murdered, Reacher reluctantly gets back to work investigating what happened-and who wants to find him. He’s living under the radar, but someone hires a private detective to find him. In the next book, Tripwire, Reacher is working as a bouncer in the Florida Keys. Fans of the books know that the tone veers in a different direction in this one, leaning more into political thriller than small-town murder mystery. They’re taken to a compound in remote Montana run by extremists, and Reacher and Holly must work together to escape… or die trying. That book begins in Chicago as Reacher is kidnapped alongside a female FBI agent named Holly Johnson. There’s no guarantee that the next season of Reacher will adapt Die Trying, the second book in the series. While a handful of characters do appear in more than one book, you can grab any of the titles that strike your fancy and not feel like you’re missing key plot points. As of right now, there are 26 books in the series-but the good news is that you don’t have to read them in order. The initial season of Reacher adapted Killing Floor, the first book in the long-running series by Lee Child. The question now is whether Amazon Studios and showrunner Nick Santora are up for the job. The second season has very big shoes to fill. And all the scenes where Reacher ended up shirtless. (Sorry, Tom Cruise, but even Lee Child thinks Alan Ritchson is better.) But even viewers who’d never read any of the novels found themselves drawn in by the mystery and action. Fans of the book were satisfied to finally see an onscreen Reacher that did justice to the character. The sly humor, flashes of genius, and breathtakingly brutal violence of Reacher hit all the right notes. There’s something about odd-couple cops that just tickles me.

While the romance between them was sweet, the budding bromance between Reacher and Detective Finlay was my favorite relationship on the show. Of course, he also falls in love with Roscoe while he’s at it. Over the course of eight explosive episodes, Reacher unravels the mystery of his brother’s brutal murder and rips the town of Margrave wide open, exposing the rot at the core.
