SUMMARY

 Alan Ritchson teases Reacher season 3 with a new behind-the-scenes image from filming.
 There are hints that Jack Reacher will be put in an unknown place without any backup in season 3, allowing him to showcase his ingenuity.
 Despite season 2’s lackluster response, Reacher‘s popularity ensures a bright future for the show and the opportunity to make improvements.

Reacher season 3 gets a sneak peek from Alan Ritchson before season 2 even wraps up. Jack Reacher’s fight against the New Age is coming to a close as he and his cohorts get to the bottom of the mystery that saw some of their former military comrades killed. The season has been met with some disappointment from audiences, but, ahead of the finale, Richtson has made sure to keep the hype alive with a tease of what’s to come.

While its sophomore outing is running weekly, Reacher season 3 has also quietly progressed behind the scenes. Ritchson offered an update about how filming is going with a photo of himself all muddied up. Check it out below:

In the post, the actor says that he is back at filming the next season, teasing “crustier than ever.”

Given its action-adventure nature, it’s difficult to predict what brought on Jack’s dirty demeanor. It hints, though, that Reacher season 3 will return to the grittier and more grounded storytelling audiences loved in season 1.

While the 110th Special Investigations Unit has proven to be an interesting group, season 2 has been lacking the brutality and compelling intrigue its predecessor had. Jack and his team have been quick on their feet, never giving off the feeling that they are truly in danger.

Specific plot details about the upcoming episodes are currently unknown, with no confirmation on which Lee Child’s book the Prime Video series will adapt next. Still, Ritchson has already floated the idea of dropping Jack into an unknown place where he doesn’t have any ties to the case in Reacher season 3.

This means that he will have to rely on himself to get to the bottom of the mystery at the center of the season. Hints of his ability to be ingenious were highlighted in Reacher season 1, but because he has backup in season 2, there hasn’t been much opportunity to do that.

Despite a lackluster sophomore year, there is no denying the popularity of Reacher. The new photo guarantees a bright future for the show, allowing it to make up for any lapses that it had in season 2.
