Here’s a guide to the main Reacher Season 2 cast and characters, including the burly main man himself.

Reacher Season 1 made it clear that Alan is moving on from Margrave and everything he had done to help the small town. That included leaving behind Roscoe Conklin.

The muscular nomad set off across the country, where he’s needed most. Reacher Season 2 brought back familiar characters while adding fresh faces as it adapted Lee Child’s book, ‘Bad Luck and Trouble’.

Fans were treated to a Terminator star joining the series as a formidable foe. And as Reacher looked into the murders of his team, he encountered many more dangers. Here are the main Reacher Season 2 cast and characters.

Alan Ritchson: Jack Reacher

Alan Ritchson is the protagonist.

Returning to the titular role in Season 2 is Alan Ritchson as Jack Reacher, the combat and weapons extraordinaire with a sarcastic sense of humor.

The veteran military police investigator is forced to abandon his drifter lifestyle again in the Reacher Season 2 timeline, for a reason that hits close to home. He finds out his former Army unit, the 110th MP Special Investigations, is being killed off. He bands together some of his old comrades to help find answers and the person responsible.

Ritchson is known among some fans for his earliest comedic role in Blue Mountain State as Thad Castle and his superhero guest role as Aquaman in Smallville. He also played Hank Hall/Hawk on the Max series Titans, and appeared in Fast X in 2023.

Maria Sten: Frances Neagley

Maria Sten is a Reacher cast regular having made her first appearance in Season 1 as Frances Neagley, an old friend of Reacher with skills in gathering intel. Neagley helps Reacher because the case is also special to her: she formerly served in the military as an Army MP under Reacher in the Investigations Unit. She becomes a great asset to Reacher as a private investigator after leaving the military.

Fiercely loyal, Neagley joins Reacher’s team after learning the truth about their former division. Together they go on the hunt for answers and investigate the person pulling the strings behind the murders.

As well as being an actor, Sten has a history in pageantry as Miss Denmark Universe in 2008. Some of her known roles are as Jillian in Channel Zero: The Dream Door and Liz in Swamp Thing.

Robert Patrick: Shane Langston

New to the cast is Terminator actor Robert Patrick as Shane Langston. The actor took over the role from Rory Cochrane who backed out of the series early on. His character Langston is a former NYPD detective turned head of security for a private defence contractor.

The first few episodes of Reacher Season 2 proved that Langston isn’t entirely trustworthy, and is working in the shadows.

Ferdinand Kingsley: A.M.

Reacher Season 2 added even more skilled antagonists with Ferdinand Kingsley as A.M.

For the second season, A.M. is known by Homeland Security as a “ghost.” Working under various aliases, he’s hard to target and works for money. He’s a mercenary and terrorist weapons buyer. The highest bidder wins his services.

In Season 2, A.M. appears as a run-of-the-mill well-dressed man with a penchant for telling kids stories. In reality, he’s the middleman to lucrative and highly illegal deals.

Kingsley is best known for as Hamza Bey in the film Dracula Untold and Mr. Francatelli in the British TV series Victoria. His most recent claim to fame is his role as Hob Gadling in Netflix’s The Sandman.

Serinda Swan: Karla Dixon

Serinda Swan is cast as another one of Reacher’s former teammates Karla Dixon for Reacher Season 2.

Like Neagley, Dixon served with the Army’s unit of Special Investigators. She too is a private investigator skilled in combat and numbers. She shares her love for mathematics with Reacher. Don’t let her looks fool you, she can take down anyone regardless of size. She joins the others in the pursuit to avenge her fallen comrades.

In 2009, actor Swan played a guest role as Zatanna Zatara in Smallville. She then had a main role as Erica Reed in Breakout Kings followed by playing Paige Arkin in Graceland. As Chloe, she had a recurring role in Ballers. Her most recent work is as Jenny Cooper in Coroner.

Shaun Sipos: David O’Donnell

David likes to leave the dirty work to others.

Joining the team and Reacher Season 2 is actor Shaun Sipos as David O’Donnell. He too served under Reacher in the 110th MP Special Investigations Unit.

Unlike his companions, David is strikingly different and perceived as a run-of-the-mill white-collar worker. In the Reacher Season 2 trailer, Reacher joked that things are the same as always with him doing the physical work with David looking on. In Child’s book, he’s “tall, fair, handsome, like a stockbroker.”

The Canadian actor is known for his roles on Complete Savages, Eric Daniels on Life Unexpected, and David Breck on the series Melrose Place. But die-hard Vampire Diaries fans will remember him as Aaron Whitmore in the fifth season.

Domenick Lombardozzi: Gaitano “Guy” Russo

Guy has to learn how to work with Reacher.

While part of the supporting cast, the character of Guy Russo is worth adding to the list. In Reacher Season 2, he plays a key role for Reacher and his team as they sleuthly work around authorities. He’s an NYPD detective hot on Reacher’s trail as he thinks he and his team are up to no good. He soon realizes Reacher and he need to work together to solve the murders.

Lombardozzi is likely well-known among fans for his various roles on the small and big screen. He’s played an authoritative police-style role before or the exact opposite. In The Wire, he played Herc and has become known for his roles in Tulsa King, Entourage, A Bronx Tale, and The Irishmen. He’s also appeared in Boardwalk Empire, Rosewood, and Donovan.

Shannon Kook: Tony Swan

Tony’s loyalties are tested in Season 2.

Reacher Season 2 dives into Reacher’s backstory with the 110th and its connection to their current case. At the heart of the investigation is one of their teammates Tony Swan. Per Reacher’s outlook on his team, he sees all of them as upstanding soldiers and people overall. But Swan’s loyalties are tested as they dive deeper into Langston.

Kook is notable for Degrassi: The Next Generation, Carmilla, Shadowhunters, and The 100. Horror fans will recognize him for his role as Drew Thomas in The Conjuring Universe.

Christina Cox: Marlo Burns

Marlo is the Director of Operations at New Age. Neagley and Dixon first meet her at the company and by all accounts, seems sweet.

The role is played by Canadian actor Christina Cox. Some fans may remember her from the 2000s series Blood Ties based on the book series where she starred as Vickie Nelson, a former cop turned private eye who learns the truth of what goes bump in the night when meeting a vampire. She also starred in The Chronicles of Riddick.
