Amazon Renews Reacher After Successful First Weekend

Amazon has given a quick renewal to Reacher after the show’s successful launch this weekend. Deadline reports that Amazon has renewed the adaptation of the Lee Child’s fiction series for a second season after it ranked in the top most-watched shows ever, both in America and worldwide, over a 24-hour period.

The series stars Alan Ritchson (Titans) as the titular character. It is written by Nick Santora and the first season, based on the first Jack Reacher novel Killing Floor, is described as follows:

Reacher follows Jack Reacher, a veteran military police investigator who has just recently entered civilian life. Reacher is a drifter, carrying no phone and the barest of essentials as he travels the country and explores the nation he once served. When Reacher arrives in the small town of Margrave, Georgia, he finds a community grappling with its first homicide in 20 years. The cops immediately arrest him and eyewitnesses claim to place Reacher at the scene of the crime. While he works to prove his innocence, a deep-seated conspiracy begins to emerge, one that will require Reacher’s keen mind and hard-hitting fists to deal with. One thing above all is for sure: They picked the wrong guy to take the fall.

The first season is currently available to stream on Amazon Prime Video.
