On February 20,Alan Ritchson’s JackReacherwill return for his third go around, and this season, Reacher has to go undercover — as what, a refrigerator?
Speaking toComic Booklast year,Ritchsonrevealed that the show would be reverting to a more “classic” direction with Reacher returning to being a lone wolf, following the squad aspect of Season 2, which some fans felt came slightly too early in the show. He said:
“I can’t say too much about Season 3, but I will say there’s a lot of classic Reacher stories which are just adventures that he gets sucked into in a big way. We get to enjoy Reacher in a new world. It may not have anything to do with family, with his past, he’s just living that adventure out, and that’s kind of the direction that we’ve gone, and it seems to really be working."
