It continues to be an action-packed period for the viewer as the phenomenal Alan Ritchson breaks through in the iconic role of Jack Reacher, based on Lee Child’s bestselling novels. This show has hit Amazon Prime Video bigger than an earthquake with its third part. Here’s everything we know about the Reacher Season 3 cast, its plot, and much more.
A New Chapter for Jack Reacher
Reacher isn’t following Lee Child’s books in purely chronological order. Instead, the series is taking an anthology approach – with each season’s books. For Season 3, the writers will be basing their storyline on Persuader, the seventh book in Child’s series. In Persuader, Reacher embarks on the dangerous mission of the vast crime concern, wherein he has to confront the ghosts of his past. However, with few details about the plot, fans can expect what has defined the show: thrilling sequences of action and sharp deductions, coupled with a new set of intense confrontations.

The Return of Alan Ritchson
The heart of the Reacher series revolves around the portrayal of Jack Reacher as an ex-military police officer turned drifter. His performance has received widespread acclaim, with fans attributing the great performances in the show compared to what Tom Cruise did for the character in the 2012 film Jack Reacher. The actor reportedly offered to make three seasons but said that he was “in for three” and would want to continue the series for many more seasons. His evident zeal in playing Reacher has been one of the most important reasons for the show’s success, and he is well-prepared for another adventure.
Speaking with a news source recently, Ritchson went on to explain what he believes could make the show so personal for fans. Further to this, the actor stated that viewers like the balance of action and mystery coupled with the depth of character of Reacher. Fans from all walks of life are finding a reason to love the show, and it appears to be a hit among all demographics. There is something for everybody,” Ritchson said, “whether it’s the action scenes or the suspense of guessing before Reacher does.”
Maria Sten as Frances Neagley
Among the most iconic returns in Reacher Season 3 is Maria Sten in Frances Neagley. A former Army master sergeant turned private investigator, Neagley is one of the very few people that Reacher trusts. While the character does not exist in the book Persuader, Neagley’s inclusion adds depth to the series; it secures Reacher in a world where he is not completely alone. Fans have received Sten’s performance positively, and her return will surely be one of the major highlights of Season 3.
Moreover, Sten herself has been keenly excited about this role as she mentioned that this bond makes her character bring the outside world closer to Reacher. This bond is important in a series where Reacher keeps moving and gets isolated from society.
New Cast Members
As Reacher Season 3 adds new characters to the cast for storyline purposes, a few names do stand out.
Brian Tee stars as Quinn, a lieutenant colonel with a history tied to one of Reacher’s past investigations. Tee is quite the bulky fella and will undoubtedly bring that intensity factor now missing in the show.
The cast adds to its roster with Anthony Michael Hall as Zachary Beck, the rug import business. Of course, there is speculation that the business may be something far more nefarious. Hall brings a character that may challenge Reacher in every possible way.
Sonya Cassidy joins as DEA Agent Susan Duffy. There is a hint that she can bring some grit to the show while assisting Reacher in uncovering all the secrets beneath.
Johnny Berchtold will portray Richard Beck, the college-aged son of Zachary Beck, inexorably drawn into his father’s activities.
Roberto Montesinos will play Guillermo Villanueva, a soon-to-retire DEA agent who will be responsible for teaching the ropes to Susan Duffy. Certainly, he brings a seasoned voice to the team.
Daniel David Stewart will play Steven Elliot, a rookie DEA agent fresh meat in the crime-fighting and investigation world.
Olivier Richters will play the role of Paulie, who is regarded as the villain of the season. He is described as a crazy bodyguard and bodybuilder. This towering 7’2″ tall figure might easily be expected to give Reacher a run for his money in terms of action scenes.
