Amazon has announced that the third season of Reacher is now the most-watched returning series on Prime Video. Within its first 19 days, this season has attracted an impressive 54.6 million viewers globally. This figure represents a slight increase from the second season. Internationally, the show enjoys immense popularity, particularly in the UK, Germany, and Brazil. Furthermore, Reacher's third season ranks as the highest-viewed television season on Prime Video since Fallout within the same timeframe.
Reacher continues to be a major success for Amazon, with its second season ending 2023 on a high note. The initial three episodes drew 50% more viewers in their first three days than the entire audience of Season 1. As Nielsen prepares to release reports later in February, further insights into U.S. viewership will emerge, although international data remains separate.
The third season draws inspiration from Lee Child’s seventh novel, Persuader. In this installment, Alan Ritchson plays Jack Reacher, who must go undercover to save an informant held captive by a formidable enemy from his past. The adaptation process involves intricate storytelling and character development, ensuring that fans of the books find familiar elements brought to life vividly on screen.
Produced collaboratively by Amazon MGM Studios, Skydance Television, and Paramount Television Studios, Reacher owes much of its success to the creative team behind it. Executive producers include Lee Child, Nick Santora (who also serves as showrunner), Alan Ritchson, Don Granger, Scott Sullivan, Mick Betancourt, David Ellison, Dana Goldberg, and Matt Thunell.
As Nielsen releases additional data, anticipation builds for how Reacher Season 3 will continue to captivate audiences worldwide. With compelling storylines and strong performances, this series solidifies its place among Prime Video's top offerings, resonating deeply with both new and returning fans alike.
