Viewers who miss Reacher and Roscoe’s romance from Reacher season 1 must check out an upcoming Willa Fitzgerald series that is only weeks away from release. Many factors contributed to Reacher season 1’s success on Prime Video. While many commended its loyalty to the original Lee Child Jack Reacher books, others could not help but appreciate it for its perfect casting choices. Even the show’s action choreography and cast performances received high acclaim, making it one of Prime Video’s most valuable television IPs.

Unfortunately, even though viewers grew attached to Reacher season 1’s cast and characters, the show, like the books, avoided featuring most of them again. Similar to its source material, Reacher season 2 marked the beginning of a new journey for Jack Reacher, where he encountered new enemies and allies while leaving the old ones behind. Owing to this, Reacher’s romance with Roscoe remained an unfinished story. Although Reacher and Roscoe’s romance may always remain unresolved, viewers who miss the two characters’ chemistry must watch Willa Fitzgerald’s new show.

Willa Fitzgerald’s Pulse Gives Her Another Tricky Romance After Leaving Reacher

Pulse Will Likely Repeat Many Aspects Of Her Dynamic With Reacher

Pulse is an upcoming medical drama on Netflix, featuring Willa Fitzgerald as one of its leads, Danielle Simms. As the show’s name suggests, it will follow the ups and downs, highs and lows of doctors and staff members who work hard every day at a Miami trauma center. The show’s primary narrative will also be driven by the complex romance between Willa Fitzgerald’s Danielle and Colin Woodell’s Xander. While dealing with the day-to-day pressures of their workplace, the two characters will try to figure out where they stand romantically.

Although Pulse sounds nothing like Prime Video’s Reacher and is also not based on a book series, it seems like Willa Fitzgerald’s role in its narrative will be reminiscent of Reacher‘s Roscoe in more ways than one. In Reacher season 1, the Alan Ritchson character and Roscoe also got romantically involved with one another but struggled to give their relationship a formal label. Owing to Reacher’s lifestyle choices and the high stakes of his season 1 mission, he and Roscoe never had the opportunity to move their relationship forward. Pulse‘s Danielle and Xander will seemingly experience something similar.

Will Willa Fitzgerald’s Roscoe Ever Appear In Reacher Again?

Her Return Seems Unlikely For Now

Prime Video’s Reacher has not shied away from drifting away from its source material and featuring surprising character cameos. For instance, even though Finlay does not show up in Lee Child’s Bad Luck and Trouble, Reacher season 2 gave him a brief role. Reacher season 1, too, featured Neagley in its final arc even though she is not a part of Lee Child’s Killing Floor. Even the show’s third installment treads a similar path by marking Neagley’s return in a relatively small capacity even though she does not appear in Lee Child’s Persuader.

Owing to these deviations from the source material in Reacher, Willa Fitzgerald’s return as Roscoe is still within the realm of possibility. However, since Reacher seems to have a new romantic interest in each new season (as he does in every new Lee Child book), it seems unlikely that she will be seen again in the series. Reacher season 2 dropped her subtle reference to her characterization, but the show seems to have moved on significantly farther from the titular character’s romance plot with Roscoe. Since her return seems unlikely, viewers would be better off adjusting their expectations.
