Alan Ritchson succeeds Tom Cruise: He plays the leading role in the action series “Reacher”, which will air from February.

After two films with Tom Cruise (59), a new actor embodies the fictional character Jack Reacher. Alan Ritchson (39) will become an action hero in the series “Reacher” in just a few weeks. Amazon Prime Video will publish the eight episodes of the first season on February 4, 2022, as the streaming service announced on Friday and also shows in a trailer.

Jack Reacher has to prove his innocence

Jack Reacher travels across the United States in the series. When he arrived in the small town of Margrave in the US state of Georgia, he was arrested by the police. After a murder, eyewitnesses claim that Reacher was at the scene. He has to try to prove his innocence and in the process brings to light a conspiracy.

The season is based on “megalomania” (original title: “Killing Floor”), the first Jack Reacher novel by the author Lee Child (67), who is on board as a producer. The script was written by Nick Santora (“Prison Break”), who is also the showrunner and executive producer on the series. In addition to main actor Ritchson, known from “Blue Mountain State”, among others, Malcolm Goodwin (39), Kristin Kreuk (38) and Willa Fitzgerald (30) can be seen.

Before Ritchson, Hollywood megastar Tom Cruise played the military police veteran twice – in “Jack Reacher” from 2012 and in “Jack Reacher: No Going Back” in 2016. At the box office, the two films together grossed more than 335 million euros worldwide.
