Reacher Season 3: Release, Plot, Cast & News

Jack Reacher is coming back to Amazon for Season 3! Prime Video has already confirmed the third season, even before the second one finished up, and it’s easy to see why. Here’s everything we know so far, including the release info, details on the plot, cast, and any other updates you might want to know.

Jack Reacher – admired by men for his rugged independence and revered by women for his charm and, frankly, sinfully 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 Back 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.

Reacher's Third Season Confirmed For 2025

Production for Reacher's third season is already underway, which is fantastic news! However, fans will need to be patient as filming such a series takes considerable time, not to mention the extensive post-production process.

We're still waiting for an official release date, but none other than Alan Ritchson – the Jack Reacher actor we all know and love – gave fans a release window. In an Instagram story in May, he shared that 2024 is off the table:

There was little hope to begin with for Reacher to return in 2024, but Ritchson has made it official now. 2025 may be a rather broad window and if production takes longer than expected, it may be a while until Reacher conquers our screens again, but in the past, Prime Video has been rather quick. We're still expecting 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!
