Reacher Season 3 Kicks Off: Release Schedule and Episode Highlights

LOS ANGELES, CA — The highly anticipated third season of Amazon Prime Video‘s ‘Reacher‘ has officially premiered, with the first three episodes now streaming. The action-packed series, based on Lee Child‘s bestselling book series, continues to follow the adventures of military police veteran Jack Reacher, portrayed by Alan Ritchson.

Season 3 is adapted from Child’s novel ‘Persuader,’ in which Reacher goes undercover to investigate a dangerous smuggling ring threatening the life of a DEA informant. “As is often the case, Reacher has a personal stake in the investigation when he realizes someone he investigated years ago for a crime during his Army service has resurfaced in connection with the operation,” Amazon reports.

Returning for this season is Maria Sten, who reprises her role as Reacher’s close friend Frances Neagley. However, there will be few familiar faces from previous seasons, as creator Nick Santora emphasizes Reacher’s solitary nature. “The DNA of Reacher is that he moves about on his own and teams up with good people when there’s bad lurking about, and then he says goodbye to those people and goes on his way,” Santora explained. “That’s what we’re always trying to stay true to.”

New cast members joining this season include: Anthony Michael Hall as Zachary Beck, the businessman behind the smuggling operation; Sonya Cassidy as DEA agent Susan Duffy; Brian Tee as a former soldier tied to Reacher’s past; and Olivier Richters as Beck’s imposing bodyguard, Paulie.

The episode release schedule for Season 3 is as follows: New episodes will debut every Thursday at 3 a.m. ET / midnight PT, with the fourth episode, titled “Dominique,” premiering on February 27. This season is set to contain a total of eight episodes, consistent with the previous two seasons.

In addition to Season 3, Amazon Prime Video has confirmed that ‘Reacher’ has been renewed for a fourth season. Alan Ritchson announced the renewal via his social media, delighting fans of the series. A spinoff titled ‘The Untitled Neagley Project,’ featuring Maria Sten, is also in the works.

Fans can now catch the thrilling first three episodes of ‘Reacher’ Season 3 on Amazon Prime Video. Subscriptions to the service are available for $14.99 per month or $139 annually, and new users can enjoy a free trial to start streaming immediately.
