I'm cautiously optimistic. He looks right and it looks suitably nuts so it might just work!

@HenriettaTriceratops that’s great.

It’s being reported by a few news outlets too so yay. Hopefully there will not be a long wait.

According to this it will take about a year to produce the second series/season:

‘Reacher’ Season 2 Release Date: Everything We Know

It may well be Child's second Reacher book, Die Trying.

It's been such a huge hit for Amazon they'll shoot the second season as soon as they can, but it's still a lot of work and who knows how pandemic restrictions may slow things down.

@Huntswomanonthemove - I know what you mean there. But one of the famous things is "Reacher said nothing" It is hard to bring that to the screen - so maybe why he comes across like that? Don't know - It took me a few episodes to warm to the actor. But ( dog owner here) I loved it when he fed and rescued the dog & him talking about music.

Oops - please anyone say if the dog is a spoiler it it has nothing at all to do with the plot - but do anyone report if I should not have said it.

I loved it. I thought he was actually v good and funny and the dry wit worked well. When I saw him I thought he was going to be a himbo, personality free but thought he was great actually !

I saw an interview with the actor who plays Reacher and one point he made was that in the books, Child has the luxury of explaining what Reacher is thinking, so the reader has a better insight into his state of mind and thinking than the viewer.

I'm loving this so far!

@BIWI - I have binged watched and can't wait for 2nd series

BIWI - I thought it was a slow burn but got better throughout the episodes - I can't speak for you but I liked it more as the episodes went on - Have a lovely time watching & if you disagree - well each to themselves - but I ended up really liking it

I'm rewatching it all and have looked at the bonus content. There are some great behind the scenes photos and video interviews with the actors and Lee Child.

@MissConductUS - Oh thank you for that - did not realise - that might keep me occupied for a while

@Basilisk -- Don't worry, the dog is not a spoiler, just a illustration of character.

I agree. I like the way that the characters gradually 'unbend' as they get to know each other/work together more, as it's much more reflective of real life. Also, Reacher becomes less 'stiff' and silent and starts to engage more.

Only one more episode to go

@MissConductUS where did you find the bonus content?

I’m watching it again and would like to see the bonus content too.

You have to use the X-Ray feature to get to it. When you click on the left side of the screen and it brings up the still photos of all of the actors in that scene, there is a "View All" option. Click on that and Bonus Content is one of the menu items that will come up.

@Deauville12422, I've taken two screenshots to make it clearer.

And I've just noticed that there is a "Bonus Content Photos and Videos" tile that comes up with X-Ray without clicking on the View All option.

I hope this works the same in the UK as it does in the US.

Not read it but it’s definitely on my list.
Loved the prime series.

Enjoyed this so much.

I think they did a excellent job of telling Reacher’s attitude and general demeanour.

Roll on S2!

Just spotted Guillermo the familiar from What We Do in the Shadows in a supporting role.

Thank you! I could not think where I knew him from, and convinced myself it was just a very vague resemblance to Jack Black. I really liked What We Do In The Shadows. Really enjoyed Reacher on Prime too.

Poor Guillermo is still being picked on

Interesting piece in today's Guardian - an editorial no less!

Here

OK. I'll say it.

And I know it's not PC or high-brow ...but lets face it, besides the books/series being great, Alan Ritchson is also v easy on the eye

Really enjoyed this series, absolutely nothing to do with how easy on the eye Alan Ritchson is!

I'm a huge fan of the Reacher books, was in tears at the end of 61 Hours!!

I've always imagined Reacher actually looking like Lee Childs himself just a larger version so the casting of Tom Cruise was ridiculous.

However, the last book I read was Blue Moon and I wasn't that impressed with it, very samey!

Will be looking forward to the new series

I'm rewatching the series now and last night I saw the episode with the shower scene.
