Jack Reacher is coming to Prime Video. Amazon revealed a first trailer for the TV series Reacher, in which Alan Ritchson will play the role of the famous character from Lee Child’s best-selling novels.

Amazon announced the series will premiere on February 4, 2022. The series will consist of eight episodes, and all the episodes will be released on the same day.

Lee Child wrote a whole series of Jack Reacher novels, but the series will be based on only one – Killing Floor – Child’s debut novel which was first published in 1997. Although Amazon didn’t reveal the official synopsis, we have the synopsis of the original novel which can tell us what the show’s going to be about:

Killing Floor by Lee Child is about a man named Jack Reacher who comes to the little town of Margrave looking for information about the mysterious death of a guitar player named Blind Blake. Instead, he finds one of the largest counterfeiting operations in history.

Lee Child, Killing Floor – Synopsis

This isn’t the first time Jack Reacher is getting a live-action adaptation. The character was played by Tom Cruise in the 2012 movie Jack Reacher, based on the 2005 novel One Shot. The movie was written and directed by Christopher McQuarrie, with whom Cruise works now on the Mission: Impossible franchise. The sequel, Jack Reacher: Never Go Back, directed by Edward Zwick, was released in 2016. Although the critics praised Cruise’s performance, Lee Child revealed that he wasn’t very happy with Cruise as the casting choice for Jack Reacher.

Lukas Abramovich is a freelance writer and photo and video editor based in Croatia. He's also a web designer and holds a Master’s degree in general Computer Science from the Faculty of Informatics based in Pula, Croatia. Since 2018, Lukas has worked on several portals writing about movies, TV shows, and video games. He's currently writing articles for two of them: Fiction Horizon and Comic Basics. He also has a YouTube channel in his native language, and the content there is mostly reviewing popular movies and TV shows. Lukas also has an Instagram page where he once used to post fan-made posters he made, which is something he would like to continue working on, as photo and video editing are also some of his passions. Lukas is a big movie lover who is okay with watching any kind of movie. His favorite movie is Michael Curtiz's Casablanca, but he's a loyal follower of Marvel and DC movies, as well as several other blockbuster franchises he's been following for years; Star Wars, Fast & Furious, Mission: Impossible, and James Cameron's Avatar are only some of them. His favorite director is Christopher Nolan, with Quentin Tarantino and Denis Villeneuve as honorable mentions. Lukas is also a big fan of four fantasy multimedia franchises; The Wizarding World, A Song of Ice and Fire, The Witcher, and The Lord of the Rings. He calls them "the four rulers of the fantasy genre." He loves to write about anything spawned from those franchises (books, games, movies...), as well as anything branded with the Marvel or DC logo. Video games and their adaptations are also something he follows faithfully since he's a big fan of story-driven single-player games like Assassin's Creed, The Last of Us, Uncharted, etc. His favorite video game ever is Red Dead Redemption 2.
