In an exclusive interview with lead actor Alan Ritchson, he revealed that the decision to shift the action to New York City and Atlantic City was made to create a fresh and different experience for audiences.

Ritchson highlighted that the different settings provide unique challenges for Reacher and add depth to his ongoing investigations. The actor remained tight-lipped about the potential location for Reacher Season 3.
Reacher Season 2 is being released weekly, with the first three episodes already available to stream. Initial impressions suggest that the show is in capable hands, and viewers are excited to see how the rest of the season unfolds.
