Even before the completion of the second season, Amazon has already announced the return of Reacher for a third season on Prime Video, and it's not without reason. Here's a comprehensive overview of what we currently know, including our speculation on the release date, storyline, cast, and any other relevant updates.
Jack Reacher – admired by men for his rugged independence and revered by women for his charm and, frankly, sinful good looks. This version of Reacher hits the sweet spot that Tom Cruise didn't quite manage with his portrayal (not his fault, though!) and the mysterious ex-major is now one of Amazon's most iconic characters. Good thing the show has been renewed for season 3, then!
As the show is based on Lee Child's book series , Amazon's got source material for decades to come – it is rather long, so they won't run out of adventures to adapt to our screens. Season 1 was Killing Floor , season 2 tackled Bad Luck and Trouble (alternative title: Story of my Life...) and we already know which book we'll get in season 3 – but one thing at a time.
When Is Reacher Season 3 Going To Release?
Reacher's third season has commenced production – fantastic news! However, fans will need to show patience as a series like Reacher requires takes its time for filming, not to mention the complexities of post-production.
An official release date has yet to be announced; nevertheless, considering the production timeline of previous seasons, we anticipate a release in early 2025.
Reacher's Returning Cast
What would Reacher be without the man himself, Alan Ritchson? Nothing, I say! Obviously, he'll return to pick up the lead role again, just to make me happy – so kind of him. Also at his side once again will be Maria Sten as Frances Neagley.
Additions to the cast are Sonya Cassidy and Anthony Michael Hall, as announced by Amazon. Cassidy will play Susan Duffy, a witty, clever and tough DEA agent – could that be someone Reacher shows some more interest in than a strict business acquaintance...?
Hall has been cast as Zachary Beck, a widowed and pretty successful businessman and single father to his adult son Richard. Jack Reacher needs to take a closer look at him because his rug import company seems to cover up some shady business.
The Source Material & Plot For Reacher's Third Season
The upcoming third season of Reacher is based on the seventh book of Lee Child's series: Persuader . Without giving too much away, here's what's to come.
Following an unexpected run-in with a former foe, Reacher is once again fuelled by revenge and sets out to settle a decade-old vendetta. In dire straits, Reacher infiltrates a criminal organization and has to use his cunning and experience once again to stay undercover to get his vengeance.
If you can't wait for Prime Video to catch up, you might want to get the book. If you're more patient than that, then rest assured we'll update you as soon as there's further news to Reacher Season 3!
