Reacher Season 3 has become a monumental success for Amazon, marking it as the most-watched returning season ever on Prime Video. It's also the highest-viewed season on the platform since the debut of *Fallout*, amassing an impressive audience over its first 19 days.
The series follows the adventures of Jack Reacher, portrayed by Alan Ritchson, a former U.S. Army military police major who wanders the country, inevitably finding himself embroiled in dangerous situations. Reacher is not only known for his formidable physical prowess but also for his sharp intellect, making him a formidable force against adversaries. In Season 3, Reacher faces a new challenge in the form of Olivier Richters, a towering Dutch giant standing at 7 ft 2 in, who matches Reacher's physical presence.

According to Variety, the third season 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 in the same timeframe, indicating a growing fanbase for the series. Reacher'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* drew 65 million viewers in its initial 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 its deviation from the source material while highlighting Reacher's increased ruthlessness and the overall enjoyment of the series. 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 Reacher Season 4 has already been confirmed, greenlit even before the third season's premiere. This early renewal underscores the confidence Amazon has in the continued success of the series.
