Predicting Lee's book for season 3

Each season of Reacher is probably going to be based on a different book, so it's hard to say which one could be used. There are 28 books about the figure right now, so Prime Video could pick from a lot of separate stories.

After two seasons based on the first and tenth books, respectively, fans are trying to predict which one will serve as the basis for the next season.

Potential cast to feature in Season 3

Reacher Season 3 will undoubtedly include Alan Ritchson, but the rest of the cast is still unknown. Reacher's past figures were shown in Season 2, and Season 3 could either continue with them or bring in a new group of people. No matter what, fans are very excited for the next season of Reacher.

In Reacher Season 3, Ritchson had earlier suggested sending Jack to a mysterious location unrelated to the investigation. This implies that solving the season-long mystery will require him to depend on his resources. While his innate intelligence was hinted at in Season 1, he has had little chance to showcase it in Season 2 due to his need for backup.

Reacher worked with Maria Sten while he was in the military service, and she could also come back. However, Season 2 had characters from Reacher's past, and Season 3 could either keep those characters or add a new group of people. Reacher is the only person who will be back for sure.
