According to Deadline, Willa Fitzgerald (from the “Panic” series) has joined the cast of the new adaptation of “Jack Reacher”, a series developed by Amazon Prime.
The actress will play Roscoe Conklin, a strong policeman who is not intimidated by anyone.
Alan Ritchson (“Titans“) will play the protagonist. The cast will also star Malcolm Goodwin (‘iZombie’), as a detective who has just moved to the city.
The series is based on the literary saga written by Lee Child.
The first season will adapt the first book, titled Dirty Money. In the plot, Jack Reacher, imprisoned by mistake, shows that justice has chosen to play with the wrong person. In his first adventure, Reacher will see a model town in Georgia reveal all its rot, along with a brutal and surprising count… and thousands of counterfeit dollar bills begin.
Nick Santora (‘Scorpion‘) will be the showrunner for the series.
It should be remembered that the saga has already been adapted for the big screen in two films starring Tom Cruise, “Jack Reacher: The Last Shot” (2012) and “Jack Reacher: No Return” (2016). Together, the two films have grossed over $ 380 million worldwide.
