Amazon's "Reacher" Season 3 has shattered records, becoming the most-watched returning season ever on Prime Video and the most-watched season on the platform since "Fallout" over its first 19 days. This gripping series follows the adventures of Jack Reacher, portrayed by Alan Ritchson, a former U.S. Army military police major who finds himself entangled in various troubles across the United States. Known for his formidable strength and sharp intellect, Reacher spends his time tackling bad guys and solving complex mysteries.
In Season 3, Reacher encounters a formidable opponent in the form of Dutch giant Olivier Richters, who stands at an imposing 7 feet 2 inches, towering over Ritchson. This new challenge adds an exciting layer to Reacher's journey, testing his limits like never before.

According to Variety, Season 3 attracted a staggering 54.6 million viewers globally within its first 19 days. This figure represents a 0.5% increase over Season 2's viewership during the same period, indicating a growing fanbase. Reacher's appeal extends beyond the U.S., with over half of its audience coming from international markets, particularly excelling in the U.K., Germany, and Brazil.
For comparison, "Fallout" drew 65 million viewers in its first 16 days in April 2024, while "The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power" Season 2 garnered 40 million viewers in just 11 days following its August 2024 premiere.
IGN's review of Reacher Season 3 awarded it an 8/10, praising the series for its divergence from the source material while highlighting Reacher's increased ruthlessness and the overall entertainment value it offers. The review stated, "Reacher season 3 diverges more from the book upon which it’s based than previous seasons, but Reacher himself is more ruthless than ever and it remains a righteous good time."
Looking ahead, fans can rejoice as Season 4 of Reacher has already been confirmed, even before the premiere of Season 3, showcasing Amazon's confidence in the series' continued success.
