Since punching his way out of the pages of Lee Child’s books, the character of Jack Reacher has been brought to screens by Tom Cruise in the two movies based on the tough-as-nails soldier-turned-rough-justice-happy drifter who helps the hopeless (and is frequently called into solve trickier, more dangerous issues to do with his old gig) and, more recently, the height-appropriate Alan Ritchson, who took on the role for the Prime Video series that debuted last year.

The small-screen version is back for a second season and a new mystery that draws from Reacher’s past as part of military investigations. What can we expect? Well, lots of punching, some flashbacks and Reacher dishing out what he does best.

And we’re getting our first look at footage from the new show –– which is back on screens in December –– via the first trailer.

What’s the story of ‘Reacher’ Season 2?

Based on ‘Bad Luck and Trouble’, the 11th book in Child’s global best-selling series, ‘Reacher’s new season begins when veteran military police investigator Jack Reacher (Ritchson) receives a coded message that the members of his former U.S. Army unit, the 110th MP Special Investigations, are being mysteriously and brutally murdered one by one.

Pulled from his drifter lifestyle, Reacher reunites with three of his former teammates turned chosen family to investigate, including Frances Neagley (Maria Sten); Karla Dixon (Serinda Swan), a forensic accountant for whom Reacher has long had a soft spot; and fast-talking, switchblade-wielding family man David O’Donnell (Shaun Sipos).

Together, they begin to connect the dots in a mystery where the stakes get higher at every turn, and that brings about questions of who has betrayed them — and who will die next. Using his inimitable blend of smarts and size, Reacher will stop at nothing to uncover the truth and protect the members of his unit. If there’s one thing Reacher and his team know for certain, it’s that you do not mess with the Special Investigators. This season, get ready for Reacher and the 110th to hit back hard…
