Actor Alan Ritchson says a proposed storyline for Amazon’s television series “Reacher” was approved, then canceled after Donald Trump was re-elected, according to reports quoting his comments.
The reported plot involves “Reacher” addressing a white supremacist militia. NME frames Ritchson’s claim as the story being canceled following Trump’s re-election, using a quote that he had it approved “until someone got re-elected.” Breitbart similarly reports that Ritchson attributes Amazon’s decision to drop the storyline to the election result.
The sources differ mainly in their framing and wording: NME presents the claim more broadly, while Breitbart highlights the storyline’s subject matter with language describing the planned violence and the militia. Both accounts, however, attribute the cancellation to Ritchson’s assertion about the timing of the decision after Trump’s re-election, and both describe it as a decision by Amazon affecting the “Reacher” storyline.
