The franchise was recently valued at over $1bn.ДЄnd of course this isnвЂ™t the first time Amazon has launched a blockbuster thriller series based on a series of hugely successful novels. The books have sold well over 100 million copies across 49 different languages, and it was quite a coup for Amazon to sign up Reacher, really. The projected audience for the series is pretty huge. Luckily Lee has been there, and will continue to be there, to help guide us along the way in this series. It will be the goal of every writer, producer, actor, executive and crew member to capture the essence of Mr ChildвЂ™s books. Showrunner Nick Santora вЂ“ who has worked on shows like The Sopranos, Prison Break, FBI and Lie to Me вЂ“ added: вЂLee Child has created an incredible character and world. I think spending a season on each book is gonna be really enjoyable for audiences.вЂ™ The way that he goes down the checklist and picks apart these cases, you need time. HereвЂ™s what Ritchson had to say when asked if he thought the books lent themselves better to a television series as opposed to films: вЂI can see why itвЂ™d be exciting as a film, but the slow burn is what I love so much about the books. HereвЂ™s the trailer for Amazon PrimeвЂ™s Reacher: Not only does Reacher have to get himself off the hook, he soon finds he has to smash a counterfeiting ring and serve some justice to a rather nasty piece of workвЂ¦

Joining Ritchson are Malcolm Goodwin ( American Gangster), Kristin Kreuk ( Smallville), Willa Fitzgerald ( Dare Me), Chris Webster ( The Most Dangerous Game), Marc Bendavid ( Dark Matter), Willie C Carpenter ( Brawl in Cell Block 99), Currie Graham ( NYPD Blue) and Harvey GuillГ©n ( What We Do in the Shadows).ДЄs weвЂ™ve mentioned, this inaugural run of the Reacher TV series is to be based on the very first Reacher book Lee Child wrote, Killing Floor, so the basic plot is no secret at all.ДЇor those of you that havenвЂ™t read it, the book has us following the big man as he steps off a Greyhound bus in a small Georgia town only to be rather quickly вЂ“ and rather falsely вЂ“ arrested for murder.

The imposing Ritchson looks like heвЂ™s been chiselled out of marble. And not only is the North Dakota-born actor tall, heвЂ™s no stranger to a gym. The 38-year-old is physically how many readers will have imagined Lee ChildвЂ™s no-nonsense, big 6вЂ™5вЂі hulk of a creation in their mindвЂ™s eye while reading any of the 25 Reacher novels. You may also have seen the man in American football comedy show Blue Mountain State, The Hunger Games: Catching Fire or playing Raphael in the recent film version of Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles. Who is taking on the role of everyoneвЂ™s favourite retired US Army Military Police Corps Major? The answer is Titans and Smallville star Alan Ritchson. We should probably address the big question first. LetвЂ™s not get too ahead of ourselves though, eh? For now, letвЂ™s focus on the launch seriesвЂ¦ YouвЂ™d have to imagine that the intention is to follow the chronology of the books for as long as the showвЂ™s audience is paying attention. This inaugural season is based on the first Reacher book Lee Child published, his 1997 award-winning debut Killing Floor вЂ“ a novel Jack Reacher fans will be only too familiar with. While thereвЂ™s been no specific mention of a number of series being made, it seems likely that Amazon and the showвЂ™s producers hope to make Reacher a regular feature on the streaming service. Not for another film this time, but for a thrilling new TV series for Amazon Prime.
