Amazon has boasted about its success, so we know it’s getting at least a couple more seasons, and one major casting update has just set tongues wagging in a big way ahead of its third outing.
Alan Ritchson is no small man, successfully embodying Jack Reacher’s size and power in a way that Tom Cruise sadly never could, but in the novelPersuader, which looks like it’s being adapted for the show’s third season, an even bigger threat appears.
Paul “Paulie” Masserella is a feature in that book, and memorable because of how he’s described as specifically being way more massive than even Reacher:
That’s a tall order, literally, when you’re a casting director, but it looks like Reacher has managed to find its Paulie in the form of Olivier Richters, an absolutely massive actor whose nickname says it all: “The Dutch Giant”.

For some this has taken the form of mock amazement, like oneX account user who wrote, “There’s someone….bigger than Reacher??”
Others have gone more analytical, with anotherX poster running the numbersfor people: “This is how you do it. Get a guy who is 7’2 345 to raise the stakes…for reference Alan Ritchson is 6’3 240ish. Gonna be a real fun third season”.
They’re worth focusing on, though, because the key detail really is that Olivier Richters is over seven feet tall – so he’ll authentically tower over Reacher in just the way that their various scenes together demand.
What we don’t have to go with this casting news is anything firm on a release date for the next season ofReacher– but you can spend the time before we hear more just dreaming of the fights that these two massive blokes will cook up.
