Zachary Beck is described as a formidable and successful businessman. A widow and single father of a 20-year son, Beck owns a rug import company that Reacher and his team suspect could be a cover for a more illegal operation. Hall is well-known for playing Tommy Doyle in Halloween Kills.

Susan Duffy, meanwhile, is noted to be a very intelligent and tough DEA agent from Boston. She has a sharp, sarcastic sense of humor. Among her list of credits, Cassidy is known for her role as Liz Dudley in the cult favorite series Lodge 49.

Reacher Season 3 will be based on the book Persuader, the seventh book in Lee Child’s Jack Reacher series. In the upcoming episodes, the titular character “must go undercover to rescue an informant held by a haunting foe from his past,” per the official logline.

Reacher, which is currently filming in Toronto, became the No. 1 title on Prime Video worldwide across both series and movies in 2023 during its premiere weekend in terms of viewership. The audience audience grew by 50% between seasons in the first three days after the second season’s debut.

Based on the novels by Child, who is an executive producer on the series, Reacher stars Alan Ritchson (Fast X, Titans) and is produced by Amazon MGM Studios, Skydance Television, and Paramount Television Studios. Reacher is written for television by Emmy-nominated writer Nick Santora (FUBAR, Prison Break), who also executive produces and serves as showrunner.

In addition to Santora and Child, Ritchson will serve as an executive producer of season 3, along with Don Granger, Scott Sullivan, Mick Betancourt, David Ellison, Dana Goldberg, and Matt Thunell for Skydance. Carolyn Harris and Kenny Madrid are the executives in charge of the series for Skydance Television.
