Reacher Star Alan Ritchson Refutes 'Dad TV' Label, Teases Changes for Season 3

Ritchson argues the series appeals to a wider demographic, including women and children, while author Lee Child hints at a solo adventure for the character in the upcoming season.

Alan Ritchson, the lead actor of the Amazon Prime series 'Reacher', refutes the label of the show being 'Dad TV', instead calling it 'family TV'. He argues that the series appeals to a wide demographic, including children and women.
Ritchson reveals that he underwent physical transformation for the role, gaining 30 pounds and enduring a rigorous workout routine that led to a surgery and testosterone therapy.
Lee Child, the author of the Jack Reacher book series on which the show is based, hints at a major change for Season 3, suggesting that the character will be working alone.
Despite the 'Dad TV' label, the series has been a hit, with Season 2 receiving positive reviews and Season 3 already in production.
Ritchson believes that the appeal of the character Jack Reacher extends beyond his physical attributes, citing the character's independence and freedom as appealing to both men and women.
