Here’s when you can expect the show, plus everything else you need to know about the upcoming series.

When is Reacher coming out?

Rather than releasing the show weekly, the streamer is set to release all eight episodes on that date.

Who is in the cast of Reacher?

Leading the cast is Alan Ritchson, the six foot three actor probably best known for two superhero roles – Hawk in HBO Max’s Titans and Aquaman in The CW’s Smallville.

Speaking to Empire, Ritchson said of his physical resemblance to the character: “Barefoot I’m six-three-and-a-half…ish. When I put boots on I’m six-five. And we decided we’re gonna come in at 235 [lbs]. I walk around at 205, so I wanted to put on some weight. And it shows on screen. I look like an ox.”

Starring alongside Ritchson as Reacher is Dare Me actor Willa Fitzgerald as Roscoe, a local police officer investigating a series of murders. Also appearing is iZombie’s Malcolm Goodwin as Finlay, a local police chief who initially distrusts Reacher.

Also starring are the following:

Bruce McGill as Mayor TealeChris Webster as K. J. Currie Graham as Kliner Sr. Harvey Guillén as JasperHugh Thompson as BakerKristin Kreuk as CharlieMarc Bendavid as HubbleMaria Sten as Frances NeagleyMaxwell Jenkins as Young ReacherWillie C. Carpenter as Mosley

In that same interview, Ritchson jokes about his fellow cast members: “Casting nobody over three feet helps. We have to get children as supporting cast.”

What will happen in Reacher?

The official plot synopsis reads: “Reacher follows Jack Reacher, a veteran military police investigator who has just recently entered civilian life. Reacher is a drifter, carrying no phone and the barest of essentials as he travels the country and explores the nation he once served.

“When Reacher arrives in the small town of Margrave, Georgia, he finds a community grappling with its first homicide in 20 years. The cops immediately arrest him and eyewitnesses claim to place Reacher at the scene of the crime. While he works to prove his innocence, a deep-seated conspiracy begins to emerge, one that will require Reacher’s keen mind and hard-hitting fists to deal with. One thing above all is for sure: They picked the wrong guy to take the fall.”

The series is based on Killing Floor, Child’s debut novel, first released in 1997, in which Reacher is drawn into a complicated plot of counterfeiting and murder.
