The release window for Reacher season 3 has been revealed. Starring Alan Ritchson as protagonist Jack Reacher, the Reacher series adapts Lee Child’s anthology novel series, following a former military police officer who travels from town to town investigating crimes and dispensing his own brand of justice. The action series has so far had two seasons on Prime Video, and Reacher was officially renewed for season 3 at the end of 2023. Other than Ritchson, the only other regular cast member is Maria Sten, who plays his sidekick Frances Neagley.
Reacher Season 3 Release Window
Per a post from Ritchson, Reacher season 3’s release window has been revealed as 2025. In a post on his Instagram story, Ritchson wrote simply “The Biggest Name in Action Hits Again in 2025.” Besides that general release window, Ritchson did not reveal specifics as to when Reacher season 3 will release.
Reacher Is a Huge Priority for Amazon
Reacher has been a massive success for Prime Video so far. Season 1 premiered in February 2022, and the sophomore season debuted its first three episodes on December 15, 2023. By the time Reacher season 2 aired, the series had already been renewed for season 3. Set photos from April of this year show the Reacher team filming in Millbrook, Ontario, indicating promising progress for the next season.
Given Reacher’s history, it is no surprise that season 3 is making such progress. Season 2 became the no. 1 most-viewed title globally (across both movies and TV) in under a week. This success underscores Reacher as one of Prime Video’s most fruitful television efforts. This prioritization will likely mean that Reacher season 3 will come sooner rather than later in the 2025 release window.
What To Expect From Reacher Season 3
After much speculation about which of Child’s novels would inspire season 3, Ritchson confirmed in January 2024 that Persuader will serve as the source material. The seventh Reacher book follows the titular character as he helps dismantle a formidable drug kingpin’s empire by going undercover. Simultaneously, Reacher must rescue an undercover DEA agent who is dangerously close to blowing their cover.
The cast for Reacher season 3 includes several new actors, such as Anthony Michael Hall as the corrupt businessperson Zachary Beck and Sonya Cassidy as DEA agent Susan Duffy. Brian Tee will take on the role of Quinn, a villain with ties to Reacher’s mysterious past. Johnny Berchtold is set to play Richard Beck, a college student involved in an attempted kidnapping that sets off the events of the season. Additionally, Roberto Montesinos will play DEA agent Guillermo Villanueva and Daniel David Stewart will appear as rookie DEA agent Steven Elliot. Alan Ritchson and Maria Sten will reprise their roles as Jack Reacher and Frances Neagley, respectively.
While each season has used Child’s novels as a starting point, Reacher season 3 won’t strictly adhere to the book’s storyline. Frances Neagley, who doesn’t appear in Persuader, will continue to be Reacher’s trusted partner and confidant.
Reacher seasons 1 and 2 are available to stream on Prime Video. Season 1 is also streaming on Freevee.
