With the announcement of the third season of Reacher coming out on February 20, 2025, now is a good time to have a recap of the second season so by the time Reacher Season 3 is out, you are up to date with whatever has happened previously.

What happened in Reacher Season 2?

After reaching Atlanta, Reacher and the team discover that they have lost another teammate and they are also followed by an NYPD officer. They then discover New Age Technologies, a company in New York that was involved in a $65 million worth of illegal arms trade.

This discovery causes a confrontation where Reacher surrenders to the security head of New Age, Shane Langston, so that his colleagues Dixon and O'Donnell can be saved. The fight that ensues then is a visual treat to watch as Reacher is shown to be fighting a bunch of men while his hands are tied. He also eventually breaks out of his handcuffs.

By the end Reacher Season 2 Episode 8, Neagley and Reacher successfully win over Langston and his men, which is not unusual given how skilled and strong Reacher is. The ending brought a fan favorite moment as well since Reacher proved he is a man of his words when he threw Langston out of a helicopter as he had previously promised.

Since it was Langstone who got Reacher’s former colleagues killed in this same manner, it was no wonder that Reacher took his revenge on him once he was caught.

What does Reacher do with the confiscated $65 million in Reacher Season 2?

After surviving a difficult helicopter ride, Reacher and his team get their hands on the $65 million that Langstone was supposed to receive for his illegal weapon trade. They get it from AM, the middleman of this deal. After gunning AM down and retrieving the money, Reacher decides not to give it back to law enforcement.

Instead, he takes a more humane approach with the money and distributes it among the people of this special investigative team. He gives some cash to the families of people who passed away, some he gave to Neagley for his father as he needs constant care, and some he donated to a local animal shelter.

For himself, Reacher uses the money to buy a year-long bus pass, which means he will be on the move again. However, from the events of this season, it becomes clear that Reacher is growing some emotional sensibilities in him as he cares about other people.

Reacher Season 1 and 2 can be streamed on Amazon Prime.
