Alan Ritchson Says Reacher Season 5 Replaces Canceled Die Trying Adaptation

Alan Ritchson revealed that his planned adaptation of the Reacher novel Die Trying was canceled after "someone got re-elected," implying a political figure blocked the project. The actor shared this on Threads in response to a fan's question. Ritchson called Die Trying his favorite book and said he had it approved before the cancellation. He has publicly criticized Donald Trump, though he did not name him directly in the response. The novel involves Jack Reacher battling a white supremacist militia. The show's fifth season will instead adapt Make Me, the 12th book in Lee Child's series. Prime Video has not commented on Ritchson's claim about the canceled season.
