Expect an intermixing of sorts, since the novels are not a tall order to be adapted across an entire season, unlike ‘ Game of Thrones’, say. More so, the stability of Netflix and other streaming and television mediums have often proven antidotes to dwindling returns on the films, so this is not going to be a first.Īs for the plot, one cannot be too certain since while only two of the novels have yet been adapted for the screen, we still have 21 more to go. The TV series starring John Krasinski ended up being a hit last year with both fans and critics, and it is not difficult to see why the makers too would tip in the favour of telling Reacher’s standalone stories as an anthology series or in an episodic nature.

Read on.Īccording to latest reports, Lee Child has signed a deal with the television divisions of both Paramount and Skydance, the distributors and producers of both of Cruise’s popular franchises ‘Jack Reacher’ and ‘ Mission Impossible’, to produce a television series based on the character. In these circumstances, while a sequel would seem highly unlikely given the unfavourable reception, we decode all the news we have regarding what could come of the third film and whether it would be happening or not.
