Editor's note: The following contains some spoilers for Season 1 of Reacher.
From showrunner Nick Santora (Scorpion, Prison Break) and based on Lee Child’s first Jack Reacher novel Killing Floor, Season 1 of the Prime Video series Reacher follows veteran military police investigator Jack Reacher (Alan Ritchson), a man as intimidating as he is tall. Although he appears to be a mysterious drifter when he shows up in the small town of Margrave, Georgia, bodies start gruesomely piling up and a conspiracy emerges that not only puts him directly in the crosshairs but also makes him easy to point the finger at, leaving him wondering who he can trust and how he can prove his innocence.
During this 1-on-1 interview with Collider, which you can both watch and read, Ritchson, who couldn’t be any more perfect for the role, talked about poring over all the books (which add up to 24, at the time), feeling so connected to the character, why he’ll never stop thinking about fan expectation, the buddy duo dynamic between Reacher and Finlay (Malcolm Goodwin), why he finds someone like Roscoe (Willa Fitzgerald) so appealing, and how they might approach things going forward (the series has already been picked up for a second season).
