"Amazon's Reacher Season 3 Tops Prime Video Viewership Since Fallout"

Reacher Season 3 has taken Amazon Prime Video by storm, becoming the most-watched returning season ever on the platform. Since its release, it has captivated audiences, amassing the highest viewership on Prime Video since the debut of Fallout, with an impressive 54.6 million viewers globally in its first 19 days. This marks a 0.5% increase in viewership compared to Season 2 over the same period, indicating that Reacher's popularity is on an upward trajectory. The show's appeal extends beyond the U.S., with more than half of its audience coming from international markets, particularly excelling in the U.K., Germany, and Brazil.

In this season, Alan Ritchson reprises his role as Jack Reacher, a former major in the U.S. Army's military police who travels across the United States, inadvertently finding himself in the midst of trouble. Known for his formidable strength and sharp intellect, Reacher continues to tackle bad guys and unravel mysteries. However, Season 3 introduces a formidable adversary in the form of Dutch giant Olivier Richters, standing at an imposing 7 ft 2 in, who challenges Reacher like never before.

For context, the success of Reacher Season 3 can be compared to other Prime Video hits. Fallout, released in April 2024, drew in 65 million viewers over its first 16 days, while The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power Season 2 garnered 40 million viewers in just 11 days following its August 2024 premiere.

IGN's review of Reacher Season 3 awarded it an 8/10, praising the show for its divergence from the source material while maintaining the essence of Reacher's character. The review noted, "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, greenlit even before Season 3 began airing. This early renewal underscores the confidence Amazon has in the series and its continued success.
