Considering how Jack Reacher says goodbye to Dixon in Reach In the final moments of Season 2, the third installment of the Amazon show will likely introduce a new romantic interest for the character who will be Roscoe’s next replacement. Adapted from Lee Child’s Jack Reacher books, Amazon Reach closely follows the stories presented in its source material. Therefore, as Jack Reacher avoids committing to long-term relationships in the books, the series introduces a new love interest for him with each new season.
Because this approach allows the series to be faithful to the original books, it perfectly captures how Lee Child intended to portray Jack Reacher’s transient lifestyle. However, it has a small downside: beloved characters like Roscoe Conklin are often only written out after one season. Despite the disadvantage, it seems unlikely that Reach Season 3 will mark Roscoe’s return. But like Lee Child Persuader suggests, the third season will feature his new replacement.
Sarah Duffy (based on Susan Duffy) will take on the role of Roscoe in Reacher season 3
Lee Child persuader confirms Duffy as Roscoe replacement
In Lee Child’s Persuadera character named Susan Duffy is introduced as Lee Child’s new accomplice. She is an agent for the US Drug Enforcement Agency who, like Roscoe, initially helps Jack Reacher uncover the novel’s central criminal operation. She is portrayed as a resourceful and competent ally, as is Roscoe, whose unique skill set as a DEA agent complements Reacher’s. As the story progresses, she also becomes romantically involved with Jack Reacher before the character’s mission ends, and he chooses to leave town and embrace the road again.
Reach season 3 story updates confirm that the series will feature its own version of Susan Duffy, albeit with some minor changes. According to reports, the character’s first name was changed to Sarah in the Amazon series, but she will likely share many similarities with the original character in the book. Casting details for the Amazon show also reveal that Sonya Cassidy (from The Last Kingdom and Accommodation 49 fame) will play Sarah Duffy in Reach season 3, making her the replacement for Willa Fitzgerald and Serinda Swan.
Roscoe could still return, even if Reacher season 3 has a replacement
The show hasn’t shied away from changing the story of its source material
Roscoe does not return in Lee Child’s Persuaderbut Amazon’s Reach could move away from the source and present it in some way. Although Reach Seasons 1 and 2 were faithful to the original books, but didn’t hesitate to introduce some important changes. For example, in the books, Jack Reacher doesn’t cross paths with Oscar Finlay after joining him in Lee Child’s film. Floor of Death. However, Reach season two ignored this detail from its source material and featured a brief Finlay and Reacher reunion in one of its episodes.
…given as Reach season 2 got away with Finlay’s cameo, it’s hard not to believe season 3 could produce something similar with Roscoe’s return.
While Willa Fitzgeral’s return as Roscoe still seems unlikely, she could receive similar treatment in Reach season 3. Major deviations from the original books can significantly ruin the series if not executed well. However, given the way in which Reach season 2 got away with Finlay’s cameo, it’s hard not to believe season 3 could produce something similar with Roscoe’s return.
