Why Reacher Season 2 Is Skipping To Book 11, Bad Luck & Trouble
It was recently revealed that Reacher season 2 would be adapting Lee Child’s eleventh Jack Reacher book, Bad Luck and Trouble. Reacher season 1 was a relatively faithful adaptation of the first Jack Reacher novel, Killing Floor. It seemed likely that Reacher season 2 would therefore continue in turn with book 2, Die Trying, but that is apparently not the case.
Reacher season 1 sees Jack Reacher (Alan Ritchson) roll into the fictional town of Margrave, Georiga, where he is promptly accused of a murder that happened before he arrived. After proclaiming his innocence, he helps Roscoe (Willa Fitzgerald) and Finlay (Malcolm Goodwin) to solve the real crime and uncover corruption throughout the town. His job done, just as at the end of most Jack Reacher stories, Reacher carries on down the road, leaving the town behind as he heads on to his next adventure.

With Bad Luck and Trouble based around past members of the U.S. Army 110th MP Special Investigation Unit as they appear to be targeted and murdered. Neagley and Reacher’s shared history in the group makes sense for them to return together and it can work to create a more interconnected series from season to season.
