Although the TV series "Reacher" had a lot of freedom when it comes to choosing which novel to adjust next, from Season 4, she has not yet chosen the favorite of Alan Richson Starval star: "Die trying." Richson described the novel in 1998 in Interview in April 2024 As "Personal (his) favorite book", continuing with saying, "I hope and I believe we could come to it soon."

"Die Surme" is the one where Reacher is unexpectedly kidnapped along with a random woman he met in Chicago; The kidnappers are only there for the woman, but "Reacher" is made for driving anyway. If the show had adapted the books chronologically, this would have been done in season 2, but the show chose non -chorus order and jumped directly to the book #11.

Why does Ritson love him so much "trying"? As he explained in Interview of 2023 with /movieThis is because he thinks he best captures the essence of what kind of man he is:

"I think stories like" die trying, 'where he is really a drug reluctantly in the situation, more precisely who he is, because I think otherwise Reacher just wants to stay alone. I think Rocter does not go to dinner in the middle of Sierra Nevadas in search of a fight, but it finds it. It's kind of what books do over and over. Those where he inserts himself or (that) feels like he is looking for problems usually not my favorite. "

This is part of why Richson was a little frustrated by the premiere of Season 2, even if he liked it as a whole. In the same interview, he described that opening scene where Reacher accidentally interfered with rhubarb and Tells tells the mother afterwards: "I'm someone who prefers not to get involved."

"I just feel like it's like the biggest lie," Richson said. "It was the strangest thing. I felt so strange, saying that after I knew everything from a carcass, no one really asked for his help." The trend of Reacher in search of trouble continued in season 3, in which he infiltrated a family of crime to avenge the bad man of his past. Reacher's motivations in season 3 (and "persuader", the book based) is cute, but they do not fall in line with the idea of a person who is simply dragged into pure bad luck.

The book for Season 4 has already been published - "Passed tomorrow," book number 13 in the series - But unless the show's rating somehow falls off the rock, there will almost certainly be season 5. Which book will they choose the show - the show for that?

In a Interview in February 2025The author of the books Lee Deta (who co-led the TV series) shed light on how they were trying to choose the next book. "We are trying to impose some logic on it, in that season one was really about Reacher's emotional roots with his real family. Then season 2 were his emotional roots with his professional family. And season 3, so we can launch it independently, the classic lonely wolf Ritzer and" convincing ".

In other words, it seems that the first two seasons were quasi-waistcoat stories about Reacher, looking at his background and explaining his entire deal. Only with season 3 and onwards, the play missed its format with a constant blow, no longer struggled with any big discoveries of the characters for the lead. This probably means that the show will choose books that feel more intense and less dependent on Reacher's past characters. If that's the case, "die" would be perfect.

Another point in favor of the book is the locations the show has chosen so far. Season 1 was held at the Georgiadarist, Season 2 in Newoufor, Season 3 in Maine, and now season 4 is back in Newouper. Although Reacher's entire deal is that he wants to wander throughout America, so far, he has just spent time on the east coast. The show may turn things on in Season 5 and throw Reacher into a new time zone. If so, they could surely make Die Surme, a book that starts in Chicago and brings Reacher to California. He may take a few extra seasons than Richson expected, but his favorite book Reacher could get its appropriate adaptation soon.
