The new season is based on the 11th book in Child's series, Bad Luck and Trouble, and Child himself has teased that it is a "much better" season than the first.

Just like in the books, the series sees Reacher moving from place to place, meaning there are few returning cast members. In fact, only Ritchson and Maria Sten from the first season's main cast are back.

This means a whole host of new stars have joined for season 2, including Serinda Swan, Shaun Sipos and Ferdinand Kingsley. But who else stars in the series and who they all play?

Read on for everything you need to know about the cast and characters of Reacher season 2.
