With Reacher season 3 now hitting screens and a fourth season on the horizon, it looks like the ex-soldier will be town-hopping for the foreseeable. But we can’t help but wonder how Reacher's story will end and if we will ever see him live a normal life. This is something that star Alan Ritchson has also thought about.
"I think, you know, I guess we'll have to see," says Ritchson to GamesRadar+. "He's a wanderer." Of course, the show is based on author Lee Child’s vast Jack Reacher series which currently consists of 29 books so far. However, it would be unrealistic to think the Reacher series could last over 29 seasons – a feat that would take decades to complete.
On the other side of the coin, the end of the Reacher series could also see the hero die. Although Reacher hasn't died yet in the books, he is still human, and will ultimately meet his demise one day. The third installment highlights just this when Reacher finally meets his match in 7'2" tall Paulie (Oliver Ritchers). Ritchson told GamesRadar+ that he is glad audiences get to see Reacher get beat, as this makes the character that more "relatable."
The good news is that fans will have to worry about this for the time being, as it doesn't look like the newly renewed season 4 will be the final chapter. As for season 3 which is based on Child’s seventh book titled ‘Persuader’, this time the hulky hero finds himself in the middle of a dodgy import business in Maine. The season also welcomes back Maria Sten as Frances Neagley and adds new stars Brian Tee, Anthony Michael Hall, and Johnny Berchtold.
