Anthony Michael Hall (Bosch: Legacy) & Sonya Cassidy (Lodge 49) have joined the cast of Prime Video’s Alan Ritchson-starring Reacher Season 3.

Last month, we learned that Prime Video and writer & showrunner Nick Santora‘s Alan Ritchson-starring Reacher would be tackling Lee Child‘s seventh novel, 2003’s Persuader, during Season 3 – with Reacher going undercover to rescue an informant held by a haunting foe from his past.

Now, we’re learning Anthony Michael Hall (Bosch: Legacy) & Sonya Cassidy (The Man Who Fell to Earth) will be joining Ritchson and the returning Maria Sten (Frances Neagley) during the currently-in-production season.

Hall’s Zachary Beck is a formidable & successful businessman  – and a widow and single father of a 20-year-old son, Richard – who owns a rug import company that Reacher believes is a cover for some shady dealings. Cassidy’s Susan Duffy is an extremely intelligent and tough DEA agent from Boston with a sharp and sarcastic sense of humor.

Though not looking to make any spoiler headlines, Santora did have a few things to share about the series that he would like to see run for “at least four years” with The Hollywood Reporter in a recent interview:

Santora on the Decision-Making Process in Selecting a Season’s Book: “It’s always a group decision. The studio has a lot of thoughts and ideas on it, as does Amazon, as they should because they know what they are doing. Alan will always have thoughts as well, because Alan is a really smart guy, and he has certain stories that are his favorites.

And I also discussed it a lot with my writing team. They are great writers, and we all have instincts, for lack of a better word, as to which books might lend themselves to the screen a little bit better than others. And then we all collectively come to a decision, and then we all hope for the best!”

Santora on Maintaining Jack Reacher’s “Loner” Spirit in Season 3: “What I can say is the spirit of Reacher is that he is a loner and a drifting hobo, to use Reacher’s terminology. So, Reacher is never going to have a band of merry folks that travel along with him and help him solve crimes and have adventures.

The DNA of Reacher is that he moves about on his own and teams up with good people when there’s bad lurking about, and then he says goodbye to those people and goes on his way. And that’s what we’re always trying to stay true to.”

Reacher: What You Beed to Know About Season 2

Based on bestselling author Lee Child‘s 11th book in the series (Bad Luck and Trouble), Reacher sets out to find answers (and a lot of revenge) when members of his old military unit turn up dead. Serinda Swan (Coroner), Ferdinand Kingsley (The Sandman), and Robert Patrick (Peacemaker) have joined the cast as series regulars for the second season.

In addition, Domenick Lombardozzi (Magnum P.I.), Luke Bilyk (DeGrassi: The Next Generation), Dean McKenzie (Shooter), Edsson Morales (Black Summer), Andres Collantes (Two Sentence Horror Stories), Shannon Kook-Chun (The 100), Ty Victor Olsson (Supernatural), Josh Blacker (See), and Al Sapienza (Coroner) are set to guest star. Maria Sten will return as Frances Neagley, with Shaun Sipos playing David O’Donnell.

Swan’s Karla Dixon served with Reacher in the Army’s unit of Special Investigators. She’s an extremely intelligent private investigator who has no problem holding her own in a fight against men much larger than she is. Kingsley’s A.M. is what Homeland Security calls a “ghost;” he operates under a number of aliases and can pass for any nationality. Money is his only motivation, and he’ll work for the highest bidder.

Patrick’s Shane Langston is a streetwise former NYPD detective with a questionable track record who is now head of security for a private defense contractor. Lombardozzi’s Guy Russo is a tough NYPD detective who’s investigating a case that involves several of Reacher’s former Army cohorts.

Olsson’s Saropian is a brutal professional hitman who is charged with following members of Reacher’s old elite military squad. Blacker’s Hortense Fields is a Lt. Colonel in the Army who oversees Reacher’s Elite 110th – Special Investigator’s Unit. Sapienza’s Marsh is a formidable lieutenant with the NYPD.

As previously reported, the rest of Reacher’s former Special Investigator Task Force includes Bilyk as Calvin Franz, McKenzie as Stan Lowery, Morales as Manuel Orozco, Collantes as Jorge Sanchez, and Kook-Chun as Tony Swan.

The series is produced by Amazon Studios, Skydance Television & Paramount TV Studios, with Child also serving as an executive producer with showrunner Nick Santora. In addition to Santora and Child, the series is executive produced by Don Granger, Scott Sullivan, and Adam Higgs, with David Ellison, Dana Goldberg, and Bill Bost for Skydance.
