Could ‘Reacher’ Go Beyond the Book Series for Original Stories? Author Lee Child Weighs In
Reacher author Lee Child says he’s open to the TV series telling original stories beyond the novel series he’s written.
To date, we've seen a pretty faithful adaptation of Lee Child’s bestselling novels featuring Jack Reacher, but Reacher's future could see it stepping beyond the books and into original territory. In a recent interview, the author and executive producer revealed he would be “very open” to the idea of the show telling new stories about Jack Reacher—as long as they stayed true to the character’s essence. Child, who has written 29 books (and is working on his 30th, Exit Strategy), has been involved in shaping the series alongside showrunner Nick Santora (Prison Break).
