Alan Ritchson, star of the Prime Video series “Reacher,” disclosed that he had secured approval to adapt “Die Trying,” the second book in Lee Child’s Jack Reacher novel series, for a forthcoming season of the show. In a Friday post on Threads responding to a fan’s comment about wanting to see that particular storyline adapted, Ritchson indicated that the novel stands as his personal favorite but that the adaptation plans changed following a political election.
The 1998 thriller follows protagonist Jack Reacher and a politician’s daughter who are kidnapped by a radical militia group and held as leverage in political negotiations. While Ritchson did not specify which politician he referenced in his comment about the re-election, he has previously expressed critical views of Donald Trump in public appearances, including remarks made during an interview on the “Happy Sad Confused With Josh Horowitz” podcast. Those earlier comments prompted a response from White House spokeswoman Abigail Jackson, who issued a statement defending Trump regarding allegations connected to Jeffrey Epstein.
The fourth season of “Reacher” became available on Prime Video in August. The show has demonstrated strong performance on the streaming platform, with Season 3 emerging as the service’s most-watched season since “Fallout” Season 1 premiered. The series received a renewal for Season 5 prior to the Season 4 release.
