1. Reacher Season 2 Release Date

The first three episodes of Reacher Season 2 are set to premiere on Prime Video on December 15, 2023. The remaining five episodes will stream on Prime Video every Friday, with the finale streaming on January 19, 2024.

This is a wildly different release date compared to the first season, which dropped all eight of its episodes in February 2022. As with the previous season, Reacher Season 2 will be debuting exclusively on Prime Video in all markets.

This is a boon to the international audience of Lee Child’s books as it is available on one platform, and you do not have to use a VPN or hunt down an alternative streaming service like many other shows.

2. Reacher Season 2 Plot

Reacher season 1 ends with Reacher walking away from Margrave and leaving all his experiences behind, along with some other memorabilia buried away. This sets season 2 up nicely for Reacher to travel to a new place for fresh adventures.

Reacher season 2 news shows it will jump to book 11 (Bad Luck and Trouble) of his celebrated espionage series. However, while this is a jump in the series, showrunner Nick Santora said they were not accountable to the novel series order but would keep it chronologically in the show’s world.

The novel upon which Season 2 is rumored to be based is set primarily in California and Las Vegas. After getting a mysterious call for help, Jack and Frances discover the death of one of their former team members and realize there’s something dangerous going on.

This reunites them with their previous teammates to uncover a plot that includes blackmail, corruption, and murder.

The official plot synopsis for Reacher Season 2 reads:

Reacher Season Two begins when veteran military police investigator Jack Reacher (Alan Ritchson) receives a coded message that the members of his former U.S. 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 sure, you do not mess with the Special Investigators. This season, prepare for Reacher and the 110th to hit back hard.
