EXCLUSIVE: Range Media Partners has signed Alan Ritchson, who became a household name playing Jack Reacher in the eponymous action series. Led by co-founder Rich Cook, Range beat out a number of other companies to sign Ritchson after he recently left his longtime manager.

Recalling a final screen-test, he said he "made no mistakes," however at the end, Don Granger, a producer for Skydance, said there was something "distracting" going on in the background, like the sound of drums.

Netflix's Reacher replacement seemingly had a major advantage over the Alan Ritchson series, but it seemingly made the mistake of losing its edge.

Reacher's Alan Ritchson currently reigns as Prime Video's greatest action hero, but the streamer's newest hero could dethrone the nomadic protagonist.
