Reacher Season 3 has proven to be a monumental success for Amazon, becoming the most-watched returning season on Prime Video and the most-watched season since *Fallout* within its first 19 days. Starring Alan Ritchson as the titular character, *Reacher* follows the adventures of a former major in the U.S. Army's military police. Known for his formidable strength and sharp intellect, Reacher travels across the United States, inadvertently getting entangled in various conflicts and solving mysteries along the way. In Season 3, Reacher encounters a formidable adversary in Dutch giant Olivier Richters, who stands at an imposing 7 ft 2 in, towering over Ritchson.

According to Variety, Reacher Season 3 attracted an impressive 54.6 million viewers globally during its first 19 days. This viewership is nearly substantial enough to cover the broad shoulders of Alan Ritchson himself. The season also saw a 0.5% increase in viewership compared to Season 2 over the same period, indicating that the show's popularity is on the rise. Reacher's appeal extends well beyond the U.S., with over half of its audience coming from international markets, particularly excelling in the U.K., Germany, and Brazil.
For comparison, *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 within 11 days of its August 2024 premiere.
IGN’s review of Reacher Season 3 awarded it an 8/10, noting that "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."
Looking ahead, fans can rejoice as Reacher Season 4 has already been confirmed, having been greenlit even before Season 3 commenced.
