Reacher Season 3 has taken Amazon by storm, becoming the most-watched returning season ever on Prime Video and the most-watched season since Fallout in its first 19 days. Starring Alan Ritchson as the titular character, Reacher follows a former U.S. Army military police major who travels across the United States, inadvertently finding himself in various dangerous situations. Known for his prowess in combat and sharp intellect, Reacher spends his time taking down villains and unraveling mysteries.
In Season 3, Reacher faces a formidable adversary in the form of Dutch giant Olivier Richters, who stands at an imposing 7 ft 2 in, presenting a physical challenge unlike any Reacher has encountered before.

According to Variety, Reacher Season 3 attracted a staggering 54.6 million viewers globally within its first 19 days. This impressive figure nearly matches the breadth of Alan Ritchson's back and represents a slight 0.5% increase over Season 2's viewership during the same period. This growth indicates that Reacher's popularity is not only sustained but expanding. The show's appeal extends beyond the U.S., with over half of its audience being international, particularly strong 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 the 11 days following its August 2024 premiere.
IGN's review of Reacher Season 3 awarded it an 8/10, noting, "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."
The success of Season 3 has already paved the way for Reacher Season 4, which was greenlit even before the third season commenced, signaling strong confidence in the series' continued success.
