Season 2 of Reacher has proven to be a massive hit on Prime Video, with Alan Ritchson reprising his role as the formidable Jack Reacher. As the thrilling conclusion approaches, here’s a summary of the show’s release schedule.

Alan Ritchson is back and bigger than ever in Reacher Season 2. The actor immediately won fans over by perfectly embodying Lee Child’s book character (unlike his big-screen predecessor, Tom Cruise), making Season 2’s renewal a no-brainer.

This season adapts Child’s 11th book, Bad Luck and Trouble, and has Reacher revisiting his military past. In a new town, he learns members of his old covert team are being murdered. For what reason? He’s hellbent on finding out with the help of some old friends.

Reacher Season 2 has more fist fights, wry Reacher humor, and explosions – here’s the official release schedule for the series.

How many Reacher Season 2 episodes are there?

Reacher Season 2 has a total of eight episodes. What’s more, fans were treated to a jam-packed premiere as the first three episodes premiered together.

Each episode is just under an hour long, and screen in over 240 countries worldwide through Prime Video.

What is Reacher Season 2 about?

Season 2’s official synopsis reads: “Reacher Season 2 begins when veteran military police investigator Jack Reacher (Alan Ritchson) receives a coded message that the members of his former US Army unit, the 110th MP Special Investigations, are being mysteriously and brutally murdered one by one.

“Pulled from his drifter lifestyle, Reacher reunites with three of his former teammates turned chosen family to investigate, including Frances Neagley (Maria Sten); Karla Dixon (Serinda Swan), a forensic accountant for whom Reacher has long had a soft spot; and fast-talking, switchblade-wielding family man David O’Donnell (Shaun Sipos).

“Together, they begin to connect the dots in a mystery where the stakes get higher at every turn, and that brings about questions of who has betrayed them – and who will die next. Using his inimitable blend of smarts and size, Reacher will stop at nothing to uncover the truth and protect the members of his unit. If there’s one thing Reacher and his team know for certain, it’s that you do not mess with the Special Investigators. This season, get ready for Reacher and the 110th to hit back hard.”
