Alan Ritchson said Amazon Prime approved then canceled a Reacher season adapting Lee Child’s 1998 novel Die Trying after Donald Trump won reelection. On Threads he identified the novel as his favorite and noted the project had been cleared until a candidate won another term. A fan had regretted that the series skipped the plot in which Reacher confronts a white supremacist militia.

The actor and the president have clashed since July after Ritchson said Trump belonged in jail over the Epstein files.
