'Reacher': 5 things about Amazon Prime Video's crime thriller starring Alan Ritchson
If it was Tom Cruise's portrayal of Jack Reacher that did the rounds a few years back, then it's Alan Ritchson's turn to make the character his own. The 'Titans' star is all set to play the iconic character based on Lee Child’s first Jack Reacher novel, 'Killing Floor' and the eight-episode series is all set to premiere on Amazon Prime Video later this month. The series is executive produced and developed by Nick Santora ('Prison Break') and safe to say, the trailer packs quite a punch.
Ritchson's Reacher is a veteran military police investigator who has just recently entered civilian life. He's best described as a drifter with minimal supplies as he explores the country he once served. He arrives in the town of Margrave, where he finds the department grappling with its first homicide in 20 years. Ahead of the debut, here's a quick look at all we know about the crime thriller series.
