Prime Video’s “Reacher” season three arrives in February 2025.
The series follows Alan Ritchson as former military policeman Jack Reacher.
Here’s what we know about “Reacher” season three.

Based on Lee Child’s “Jack Reacher” books, Prime Video’s “Reacher” series shows no signs of slowing down. Season two wrapped up in January with an action-packed finale, and season three will be out this February.

The show follows Alan Ritchson as Jack Reacher, a former military investigator who has become a nomad since leaving the armed forces and frequently gets caught up in conspiracies, assassination attempts, and underworld shenanigans.

The first season introduces Reacher in a mystery involving corruption in a small town, season two focuses more on his past, and it seems like season three is setting up a bigger challenge for the titular hero.

Here’s what we know about “Reacher” season three.

The ‘Reacher’ season 3 teaser confirms that it is based on the 2003 book, ‘Persuader’

On December 7, Amazon released a 44-second-long teaser for “Reacher” season three. It’s light on plot details but filled with wince-enducing action and an intimidating new opponent for Reacher: Paulie (Olivier Richters).

Paulie is a seven-foot-two henchman who is more than a match for Reacher, as seen when he knocks him down with a slap. He’s played by Olivier Richters, a Dutch bodybuilder.

Frances Neagley (Maria Sten), who used to work on Reacher’s Special Investigators team back in their military days, also makes an appearance in the teaser. She tells Reacher: “The last time I saw a guy twice your size was on Mount Rushmore.”

As Paulie’s appearance indicates (as confirmed by Prime Video) the series will be based on Child’s 2003 novel, “Persuader,” and the show’s synopsis teases what to expect.

It reads: “Reacher hurtles into the dark heart of a vast criminal enterprise when trying to rescue an undercover DEA informant whose time is running out. There he finds a world of secrecy and violence — and confronts some unfinished business from his own past.”

‘Reacher’ season 3 starts on February 20, 2025

Following the “Reacher” season three teaser, Amazon confirmed that the first three episodes will drop on February 20, 2025.

New episodes will then be released weekly until the finale on March 27.

Alongside Ritchson, Sten, and Richters, Anthony Michael Hall, Sonya Cassidy, Brian Tee, Johnny Berchtold, Robert Montesinos, and Daniel David Stewart, have been cast in undisclosed roles.

In October 2024, Deadline reported that Amazon greenlit a “Neagley” spinoff series, with Ritchson set to make a guest appearance.

So it seems likely that “Reacher” season three will set up the spinoff.
