Lee Child Wants 'The Midnight Line' Adapted for 'Reacher'
Lee Child says he'd like to see The Midnight Line, the 22nd Jack Reacher novel, adapted for the Prime Video series, citing Alan Ritchson's awareness.
Lee Child has a wish for the next chapter of Reacher: he wants to see The Midnight Line brought to the screen. The author said he would like the 22nd Jack Reacher novel adapted for the Prime Video series, according to Collider.
Child explained that the book centers on the perspective of an addict, and that he aimed to write that character with sympathy rather than judgment.
He also pointed to star Alan Ritchson's social and political awareness as a reason the story would suit the actor.
Not a Straight Line
The series has not adapted Child's novels in chronological order, so a future season is not bound to follow the books' publication sequence.
Reacher streams on Prime Video.
