With a lot of folks out there having to come to grips with the fact that they’re now on the uphill climb of a two-week holiday rollercoaster ride of emotions, we’re doing our part to offer everyone some friendly distractions in the form of updates on their favorite shows. And it’s that kind of agenda that works nicely with Amazon’s Prime Video and writer & showrunner Nick Santora‘s Alan Ritchson-starring Reacher because Ritchson has been doing his part to keep fans connected to production on the second season in some fun & interesting ways. This time around, Ritchson is introducing us to someone very important in his daily life on set… his stunt double, Stuntman Ryan Tarran. But before we get to that, viewers get a tongue-in-cheek look at how Ritchson being asked how he takes his coffee results in a delay in the important morning coffee production line. And as you’re about to see, some of them aren’t too happy about being deprived of their early “rocket fuel.”
Here’s a look at two of Ritchson’s most recent posts, followed by a look back at what we know about the second season of Amazon’s Reacher so far:
A Look at What We Know About Amazon’s Reacher Season 2
Based on bestselling author Lee Child‘s 11th book in the series (Bad Luck and Trouble), Reacher sets out to find answers (and a lot of revenge) when members of his old military unit turn up dead. Serinda Swan (Coroner), Ferdinand Kingsley (The Sandman), and Rory Cochrane (Winning Time) have joined the cast as series regulars for the second season. In addition, Domenick Lombardozzi (Magnum P.I.), Luke Bilyk (DeGrassi: The Next Generation), Dean McKenzie (Shooter), Edsson Morales (Black Summer), Andres Collantes (Two Sentence Horror Stories), Shannon Kook-Chun (The 100), Ty Victor Olsson (Supernatural), Josh Blacker (See), and Al Sapienza (Coroner) are set to guest star. Maria Sten will return as Frances Neagley, with Shaun Sipos playing David O’Donnell. Now here’s a look back at Ritchson’s Instagram post announcing the start of filming on the second season:
Swan’s Karla Dixon served with Reacher in the Army’s unit of Special Investigators. She’s an extremely intelligent private investigator who has no problem holding her own in a fight against men much larger than she is. Kingsley’s A.M. is what Homeland Security calls a “ghost;” he operates under a number of aliases and can pass for any nationality. Money is his only motivation, and he’ll work for the highest bidder. Cochrane’s Shane Langston is a streetwise former NYPD detective with a questionable track record who is now head of security for a private defense contractor. Lombardozzi’s Guy Russo is a tough NYPD detective who’s investigating a case that involves several of Reacher’s former Army cohorts. Olsson’s Saropian is a brutal professional hitman who is charged with following members of Reacher’s old elite military squad. Blacker’s Hortense Fields is Lieutenant Colonel in the Army who oversees Reacher’s Elite 110th – Special Investigator’s Unit. Sapienza’s Marsh is a formidable lieutenant with the NYPD.
As previously reported, the rest of Reacher’s former Special Investigator Task Force includes Bilyk as Calvin Franz, McKenzie as Stan Lowery, Morales as Manuel Orozco, Collantes as Jorge Sanchez, and Kook-Chun as Tony Swan. The series is produced by Amazon Studios, Skydance Television & Paramount TV Studios, with Child also serving as an executive producer with showrunner Nick Santora. In addition to Santora and Child, the series is executive produced by Don Granger, Scott Sullivan, and Adam Higgs, with David Ellison, Dana Goldberg, and Bill Bost for Skydance.
