While season one of Reacher was based on Child’s debut novel, Killing Floor, the second season jumped ahead and depicted events seen in 2007’s Bad Luck and Trouble, the 11th book in the series.
Lee Child has revealed one of his personal favourite Jack Reacher books he’d “love” Amazon to adapt next.
Season three’s source material is Child’s seventh Reacher novel Persuader, which was published in 2003 – and the writer is now looking ahead to what books could be adapted in future seasons.
“It was well received but The Midnight Line is one of my favourites because it was an opioid book but it was written from the point of view of the addict with tremendous sympathy,” Child, 70, explained.
Child said that he thinks the series can adapt the novels out of release order as he “very deliberately wrote the book series so you did not have to have any prior knowledge”.
