Amazon has confirmed which Lee Child book will serve as the basis for “Reacher” Season 3.
The third season of the Prime Video series, which was announced in December, will be based on the book “Persuader.” That book is the seventh in the Jack Reacher series written by Child, and is available to purchase on Amazon. The official logline for the season states, “Reacher must go undercover to rescue an informant held by a haunting foe from his past.”
In addition, it is now confirmed that Maria Sten will return as Frances Neagley in the third season of the hit show, with Sten having appeared in both Seasons 1 & 2. The third season is currently filming in Toronto.
