Summary
Reacherseason 3’s new actor reveals how faithful it will be to Lee Child’sPersuader. Despite the memory of Tom Cruise’s short-lived movie adaptation of the famed books, Amazon Prime Video, spearheaded by Nick Santora still moves forward with its small screen take on the narratives. It ended up being the right decision, with Alan Ritchson’sReacherimmediately becoming a massive hit. After bringingKilling FloorandBad Luck and Troubleto life via its first two seasons,Reacherseason 3 will tacklePersuader— the seventh book in Child’s hit action-adventure series.
In a new interview withInverse, Anthony Michael Hall, who plays Zachary Beck, teases what to expect fromReacherseason 3. Since it is based on a book,he suggests checking outPersuaderbecause the Prime Video series' junior year is"drawn heavily from that book and adapted from it." Read his full quote below:
I just wrapped season 3 ofReacher, which I can’t really talk too much about, but it’s based on one of the Lee Child books calledPersuader. So if people are real fans of the show, I would suggest maybe digging into that novel because season 3 is drawn heavily from that book and adapted from it.
How Reacher Season 3 Being Based On Persuader Can Fix Season 2’s Disappointments
The Story Is Expected To Be On A Smaller Scale
After moving on from Margrave, Reacher is reunited with the110th Special Investigations Unitto take on Shane Langston, AM, and New Age. Seeing some parts of his past before he became a vagrant was interesting, but having a solid team behind him throughoutReacherseason 2 somehow hampered his abilities. The show’s sophomore year wasn’t able to fully highlight his best traits including his ingenuity. Because of that, the year was overall disappointing. Knowing some details about what comes next for him thanks to Child’s Persuader suggests that this issue will be fixed.
Santora has previously mentioned that they treat Chilld’s books as guides, and they aren’t beholden to every single storyline that is on the page. This is a better approach since they are able to change certain arcs that wouldkeepReacherstill exciting even for those who are avid readers of Child’s books. That said, it is safe to say that it will stick with the premise ofPersuader, which means that Jack will have to start relying on himself again. Frances Neagley will appear, but chances are that it won’t be as regular as her involvement in season 2.
