Robert Partick Joins Alan Ritchson in REACHER Season 2
Robert Patrick (The X-Files, The Night Agent, Peacemaker) is set to star alongside Alan Ritchson in the upcoming second season of Prime Video’s Reacher. He will replace Rory Cochrane in the role of Shane Langston. Cochrane was not able to return to the role due to a scheduling conflict when the production schedule for the series changed.
This news is just coming out now, but production on Reacher Season 2 wrapped back in February. In the show, Langston is “a streetwise former NYPD detective with a questionable track record who is now head of security for a private defense contractor.” I’m a long time fan of Patrick, and it cool to see him jon another great series!
Reacher comes from writer and showrunner Nick Santora, and it’s based on the novels by Lee Child. The series follows Jack Reacher, a veteran military police investigator who has just recently entered civilian life and he finds himself getting involved in some crazy situations that involves him beating the hell out of people.
The second season is based on the 11th book in Lee Child’s bestselling series, Bad Luck and Trouble, begins “when the members of Reacher’s old military unit start turning up dead. Reacher has just one thing on his mind—revenge.”
Other cast members include Serinda Swan (Coroner), and Ferdinand Kingsley (Sandman) are set to star as series regulars opposite Domenick Lombardozzi (Magnum P.I.), along with 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).
As previously announced, Maria Sten will return for Season 2 as Frances Neagley, and Shaun Sipos will play David O’Donnell.
Swan has been cast as Karla Dixon. “Along with O’Donnell, 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 will play A.M. “He’s 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.”
Lombardozzi is Guy Russo. “He’s a tough NYPD detective who’s investigating a case that involves several of Reacher’s former Army cohorts.”
Olsson has been cast as Saropian. “A brutal professional hitman who is charged with following members of Reacher’s old elite military squad.”
Blacker will portray Hortense Fields. “Lieutenant Colonel in the Army who oversees Reacher’s Elite 110th – Special Investigator’s Unit.”
Sapienza has been cast as Marsh. “He’s a formidable lieutenant with the NYPD.”
Rounding out the team of Reacher’s former Special Investigator Task Force are Luke Bilyk as Calvin Franz, Dean McKenzie as Stan Lowery, Edsson Morales as Manuel Orozco, Andres Collantes as Jorge Sanchez, and Shannon Kook-Chun as Tony Swan.
