Reacher Season 3: A Thrilling Return to Form
Alright, folks, if you’re a fan of high-octane action and no-nonsense heroes, then Reacher Season 3 is about to make your day. The hit Amazon Prime Video series is back, and this time, it’s shaping up to be exactly what fans have been waiting for—more grit, more action, and of course, more of Alan Ritchson’s stone-cold, justice-serving badassery.
So, what’s the deal this season? Well, Reacher finds himself in Maine, and as usual, trouble isn’t far behind. Based on Persuader , the seventh book in Lee Child’s best-selling series, Season 3 sees our favorite ex-military police officer going undercover with the DEA to take down a dangerous drug smuggler. As always, he’s not alone—Maria Sten reprises her role as Frances Neagley, his ever-reliable former army colleague who’s got his back from afar. And let’s be real, any mission Reacher takes on means a whole lot of brawls, broken bones, and justice delivered in the most brutal way possible.
Now, if you’ve been keeping up with Reacher , you probably noticed that Season 2 wasn’t as well-received as the first. Some fans thought it leaned too heavily on flashbacks and strayed from what made the debut season so gripping. But fear not—Season 3 seems to have learned from past mistakes. It ditches the unnecessary backstory overload and goes back to what makes Reacher great: an action-packed story set in small-town America, where a lone warrior takes on bad guys in a way that’s equal parts satisfying and unapologetically old-school.

Speaking of old-school, there’s been a lot of talk about Reacher being the epitome of “Dad TV.” And yeah, it’s got all the hallmarks—strong, silent men handling business, a world where respect still means something, and a main character who wears the same T-shirt and jeans for, well, pretty much the entire show. Think Yellowstone , The Old Man , or Landman —shows where men solve problems, usually with their fists, but always with a sense of justice. But here’s the thing—just because it’s called “Dad TV” doesn’t mean it’s not insanely entertaining. In fact, the numbers speak for themselves. Reacher is one of Prime Video’s biggest hits, and when Season 2 dropped, it racked up 1.7 billion minutes of viewing in just three days. So yeah, a whole lot of people—dads or not—are loving this show.
And let’s talk about Alan Ritchson for a second. The guy is massive . At nearly two meters tall and built like a tank, he looks every bit the part of Jack Reacher. But here’s the kicker—offscreen, he’s the total opposite of his character. He’s thoughtful, introspective, and not afraid to challenge the hypermasculine persona he portrays. He’s openly spoken about supporting causes like Black Lives Matter and has called out figures like Donald Trump, showing that the Reacher you see on screen and the man behind him are two very different people.
That said, the action is what keeps fans coming back, and Season 3 is bringing the heat—literally. One of the biggest surprises? Dutch actor Olivier Richters joins the cast, and at 2.18 meters (over 7 feet) tall, he’s one of the few people who can actually make Ritchson look small. That alone should make for some epic fight scenes.
Bottom line? Reacher Season 3 is looking like a return to form—fast, brutal, and wildly entertaining. Whether you’re here for the action, the old-school storytelling, or just to watch Ritchson beat up bad guys, you won’t be disappointed. So grab your popcorn, settle in, and get ready for another wild ride.
