What Alan Ritchson’s Photos Mean For Prime Video’s Reacher Universe
It Is Curious That Ritchson’s Photos Were Not Of His Own Neagley Cameo
Serving as the first Prime Video series to top the Nielsen streaming rankings, the gritty action series has repeatedly proven itself a hit with critics and audiences alike. With the success of the show’s first two seasons enough to prompt the streamer to commit not only toReacherseason 4ahead of season 3’s release, but also to greenlight an entirely new spinoff series, it would seem thatPrime Video has a great deal of confidence in the property’s ongoing appeal and potential longevity.
What is interesting, however, is that Ritchson’s photos were taken from what appears to be a friendly set visit, rather than a day spent filming his own appearance on the show. While Sten’s fan-favorite character will rightfully be the central focus ofNeagley,it isconfirmed that Ritchson’s Reacher will appear. With the pair’s undeniable onscreen chemistry and the enduring loyalty between both former members of the110th Special Investigations Unit,it is for the best that Reacher and Neagley will reunite in the spinoff.

The Spinoff Offers A Rare Chance To Turn The Tables
While Ritchson’s post does not reveal anything about his role inNeagley, most fanswould like to see the spinoff reverse the relationship previously established inReacher. Despite having an enlarged role inReacherseason 2, for the most part, Sten’s character was relegated to that of a distant comrade called in to aid Reacher whenever his adventures became too much for him to handle alone. HavingNeagleyturn the tables, and seeing Reacher briefly come in to offer his aid in a time of need would be the perfect starting point for the franchise’s first spinoff.
