Reacher Season 3 Kicks Off with High Stakes and New Challenges

NEW YORK, NY — Fans of Amazon Prime Video‘s action-packed series, ‘Reacher,’ can finally rejoice as the highly anticipated third season premieres today, February 20, 2025. The first three episodes are now available for streaming, with new episodes releasing weekly thereafter.

Based on Lee Child‘s acclaimed novel series, ‘Reacher’ features Alan Ritchson in the titular role, portraying a former military police investigator. This season, adapted from the seventh book, ‘Persuader,’ sees Reacher delving undercover to dismantle a dangerous smuggling ring.

“As is often the case, Reacher has a personal stake in the investigation, realizing a figure from his Army past is entwined with this operation,” explained series creator Nick Santora. The new season promises thrilling plot twists, underscoring Reacher’s characteristic blend of justice and personal vendetta.

Returning cast member Maria Sten reprises her role as Frances Neagley, a close ally of Reacher. However, Santora noted, fans should not expect many familiar faces, as the show’s premise revolves around Reacher’s solitary journey. “The DNA of Reacher is that he moves about on his own and teams up with good people when there’s bad lurking about,” he stated.

This season introduces new characters, including Anthony Michael Hall as Zachary Beck, a businessman involved in illicit activities, and Sonya Cassidy as DEA agent Susan Duffy. The stakes are raised with the casting of Olivier Richters, known as ‘The Dutch Giant,’ playing Beck’s bodyguard Paulie.

The series embraces a weekly release strategy for the third season, with episodes becoming available every Thursday at 3 a.m. ET / midnight PT. The fourth episode, titled “Dominique,” is set to drop on February 27, while the season finale is scheduled for March 27.

With a total of eight episodes this season, ‘Reacher’ maintains its previous episode count from the earlier seasons, continuing the trend of high-octane storytelling that has captivated audiences. The first season utilized a binge model, but the second season utilized staggered releases to maximize viewer engagement.

For those eager to catch up, earlier seasons of ‘Reacher’ are currently streaming on Amazon Prime Video. The series has seen tremendous success, with Prime Video declaring Season 2 the platform’s top title in 2023. Additionally, a spinoff series focused on Neagley has been greenlit, further expanding the ‘Reacher’ universe.

As viewers dive into the latest season, they can look forward to the same blend of intense action and compelling storytelling that has made ‘Reacher’ a standout among original series on the platform. Watch the official trailer for a sneak peek into the thrilling adventures that await.
