In the Reacher Season 2 trailer, Reacher jokes that things are the same as always with him doing the physical work with David looking on. In Child’s book, he’s described as “tall, fair, handsome, like a stockbroker.”

But Swan’s loyalties begin to falter by the end of the third episode as they dive deeper into Langston.
Kook is notable for some of his works including Degrassi: The Next Generation, Carmilla, Shadowhunters, and The 100. Horror fans will recognize him for his role as Drew Thomas in The Conjuring universe.
Christina Cox: Marlo Burns
Over the course of the season, it becomes clear that the character Marlo Burns begins to play a big role. Pers the series, she’s the Director of Operations at New Age. Neagley and Dixon first meet her at the company and by all accounts she seems sweet. She gives them some information and an address. But Reacher and the team are instead ambushed at the location and believe Burns is also working with Langston.
She also has a young daughter named Jane. It’s soon revealed she had nothing to do with the ambush or Langston’s plan. In reality, she was the one who hired Swan to keep an eye on Langston as she didn’t trust him or his partners.
