“Reacher” is back, and our heroic hunk has to battle perhaps his toughest adversary yet: An even bigger guy!
Yes, the marquee fights this season are between our jacked hero Reacher (Alan Ritchson) and an absolutely enormous bodyguard Paulie (Olivier Richters), but there are plenty of other challenges, including a charismatic big bad (Anthony Michael Hall), a man from Reacher’s past with dark secrets (Brian Tee) and even a DEA agent who may not like his law-bending methods (Sonya Cassidy).
Per Prime Video, the third season of the series follows Reacher as he “hurtles into the dark heart of a vast criminal enterprise when trying to rescue an undercover DEA informant whose time is running out. There he finds a world of secrecy and violence — and confronts some unfinished business from his own past.”
Per usual, most of the characters from the first two seasons have been axed for a new roster, so Variety has a breakdown of the (mostly) new faces in Season 3.
