Serinda Swan Jokes that "Reacher" is a "Secret" Sequel to "Breakout Kings"

To date, half of the cast of the 2011 A&E drama "Breakout Kings" has landed roles on Prime Video’s "Reacher" — which leads Serinda Swan to joke that "Reacher" is some sort of “secret” reunion series.
“It’s funny, somebody made a comment the other day on one of my [social media] posts, like, ‘Is this the secret [Breakout Kings] reunion…?'” shares. “I was like, ‘Yeah, Reacher is actually [Jimmi Simpson’s] Lloyd. He just ate a bit more.'”
"Reacher" Season 1 co-starred Malcolm Goodwin as Oscar Finlay, the Harvard-educated, tweed suit-wearing Chief Detective of the Margrave (Ga.) Police Department.
Season 2, premiering this Friday, finds the titular veteran military police investigator (Alan Ritchson) looking into the murder of members of his old U.S. Army unit, assisted by three former teammates — one of whom, Karla Dixon, is played by Swan.
Domenick Lombardozzi, meanwhile, plays Guy Russo, a NYPD detective who repeatedly locks horns with Reacher & Co. during their travels.
Swan then gives props to "Breakout Kings" co-creator Nick Santora for getting the band back together, bit by bit, as he shepherds "Reacher".
“When Nick told me, ‘Dom’s coming, too,’ I was like yes!” recalls Swan. “Come onnnn, Breakout Kings! It was great.”
