Maria Sten’s role is also confirmed as Frances Neagley for the upcoming season. She is an old squadmate of Jack when he was working in the military police. Her role is considered as an important one in Lee Child’s book series. So, it makes sense that she will be seen doing that role.

What will happen in Reacher season 2?

Season 2 of The Reacher will be based on Bad Luck and Trouble. It is the eleventh book of the novel series by English author Lee Child that is about Reacher’s reunification with his old military police squad members including Frances while investigating the murder of one of his own.

If you have missed emotional drama in the season 1 then get ready to wipe off your tears now. Even though, the creator has said that the series will not be adapted chronologically, we can still expect the new season to show us the suffering side of Reacher.
