Reacher Season 3 has emerged as a colossal success for Amazon, claiming the title of the most-watched returning season ever on Prime Video. Since its release, it has also become the most-watched season on the platform, surpassing all others over its first 19 days, second only to the initial popularity of Fallout.
The series follows the adventures of Jack Reacher, portrayed by Alan Ritchson. A former major in the U.S. Army's military police, Reacher travels across the country, inadvertently finding himself in the midst of trouble. Known for his formidable strength and sharp intellect, Reacher spends his time tackling villains and unraveling mysteries. In Season 3, Reacher faces a formidable opponent in Dutch giant Olivier Richters, who stands at an impressive 7 feet 2 inches, dwarfing Ritchson's own stature.

According to Variety, Reacher Season 3 attracted a staggering 54.6 million viewers globally in its first 19 days. This figure not only speaks to the show's massive appeal but also represents a 0.5% increase over Season 2's viewership in the same timeframe, indicating that the series continues to grow in popularity. Reacher's audience extends far beyond the U.S., with more than half of its viewers coming from international markets, particularly the U.K., Germany, and Brazil.
For perspective, 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 the 11 days following its August 2024 premiere.
AnswerSee ResultsIGN’s review of Reacher Season 3 awarded it an 8/10, stating: “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.”
Unsurprisingly, Reacher Season 4 has been confirmed. It was greenlit even before Season 3 started airing, a testament to the show's strong performance and the confidence Amazon has in its continued success.
