Reacher Season 3 has taken Amazon by storm, becoming the most-watched returning season ever on Prime Video. In fact, it's the most-watched season on Prime Video since the release of *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 travels across the United States, often finding himself embroiled in trouble and confronting adversaries. Known for his prowess in combat and sharp intellect, Reacher is a formidable force in solving mysteries and taking down bad guys.
Season 3 introduces a new challenge for Reacher in the form of the Dutch giant, Olivier Richters, who stands at an imposing 7 feet 2 inches, towering over Ritchson's character. This season not only maintains the high-octane action and intrigue fans love but also brings a fresh dynamic to the series with this new antagonist.

According to Variety, Reacher Season 3 attracted a staggering 54.6 million viewers globally within its first 19 days. This impressive figure represents a 0.5% increase over Season 2's viewership during the same period, indicating that the series is not only a hit but also growing in popularity. The show's appeal extends beyond the U.S., with more than half of its audience coming from international markets, particularly excelling in the U.K., Germany, and Brazil.
For comparison, *Fallout* garnered 65 million viewers in its first 16 days in April 2024, while *The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power Season 2* drew 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 maintaining the essence of Reacher's character. The review noted, "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 Reacher Season 4 has already been confirmed, greenlit even before Season 3 began airing. This early renewal underscores the confidence Amazon has in the series and its continued success.
