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.
Ritchson is currently in production on season four of Reacher, returning to star in the titular role as well as continuing his work as executive producer. The series remains a critical and commercial success for Prime Video with season three becoming the platform’s most-watched returning season, amassing 54.6 million global viewers within its first 19 days. Further cementing his relationship with Amazon MGM Studios, Ritchson holds both a first-look film deal and a separate three-picture deal for acting with the studio.
Beyond his hit TV series, Ritchson has recently wrapped production on several high-profile projects showcasing his wide-ranging talent. These include a leading role opposite Owen Wilson in The Runner, directed by Scott Waugh, where he also served as producer; starring in the gritty action-thriller Motor City alongside Shailene Woodley and Ben Foster; and headlining Netflix’s sci-fi adventure War Machine, produced, directed, and co-written by Patrick Hughes and with Range producing alongside Hidden Pictures, Huge Films and Emu Creek Pictures.
He also executive produced and stars in the action buddy comedy Playdate with Kevin James, as well as produced and stars in the holiday family comedy The Man With The Bag opposite Arnold Schwarzenegger – both developed under his deal with Amazon MGM Studios.
Maintaining his incredible momentum, Ritchson is set to produce and star in Painter, penned by John Wick scribe Derek Kolstad, and will reprise his role in the untitled 11th installment of Universal Pictures’ Fast and Furious blockbuster franchise. These upcoming projects follow his recent roles including a critically acclaimed performance opposite Hilary Swank in the Lionsgate drama Ordinary Angels and his scene-stealing turn in Guy Ritchie’s World War II pic The Ministry of Ungentlemanly Warfare, also from Lionsgate.
He continues to be represented by WME and Hansen, Jacobson, Teller, Hoberman, Newman, Warren, Richman, Rush, Kaller, Gellman, Meigs & Fox.
