Season 3 of Reacher will officially bring Jack Reacher, played by Alan Ritchson, back to Prime Video.
Season 2 was another hit for Amazon, so it was no surprise that the company quickly greenlit more episodes.But ‘Reacher’ has officially been renewed for season 3 for two weeks, so it was a bit of a surprise to see the show renewed so quickly in front Season 2 has been released on Prime Video.
However, the gamble paid off, as fans and critics alike praised season 2 upon release. It’s been confirmed that ‘Reacher’ Season 3 is in production, so here’s everything you need to know, including release date speculation, cast, plot, and more.
‘Reacher’ season 3 release date speculation
As of now, we know that ‘Reacher’ Season 3 is in the works, but there are no hints about a release date yet. However, we can make an educated guess as to when more episodes will arrive.
Season 1 was filmed from April 15, 2021 to July 30, 2021 and released on Prime Video on February 4, 2022. So filming took about three and a half months, and post-production took another six months. Since production has already begun, The earliest we can expect Reacher Season 3 to air is October 2024 Coming to our TV screens.
but , I think Prime Video may be delayed until December 2024. That would result in a yearly schedule (Season 2 will be released in December 2023), which networks and studios tend to prefer as serialized TV shows. Given that Prime Video’s Season 2 featured a December release window, Amazon expects Season 3 to premiere in December 2024.
Still, if this latest information from Jack Reacher himself is accurate, those estimates may be too conservative. In an interview on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon, Alan Ritchson, who plays the titular Reacher, said that filming for Season 3 is nearly finished (h/t CBR). The production period was only 3 months, so At most that’s impressive if true.

Currently, four cast members have been officially confirmed for Season 3. Ritchson, of course, returns as the titular Jack Reacher. Maria Sten reprises her role as Frances Negley, one of Reacher’s former military comrades.
But don’t expect to see any familiar faces other than these two. Season 2 did not carry over many cast members from season 1. In fact, apart from Malcolm Goodwin’s guest appearance as frontier police chief Oscar Finlay, only Ritchson and Sten were retained.
In an interview with The Hollywood Reporter, showrunner Nick Santora said he expects the same for Season 3. “Reacher’s DNA is to move around on his own, team up with good people when bad stuff lurks, and then say goodbye.” Go to those people and go your own way. ”
We know two of the new faces joining the show in season three. Anthony Michael Hall is set to play Zachary Beck, who runs a rug importing business and could be the season’s main antagonist. Sonya Cassidy has also been confirmed to star as Susan Duffy, a tough but resourceful DEA agent who will likely team up with Reacher at some point in the season.
Since that announcement, Amazon has also announced four other new cast members. Brian Tee plays Quinn, a potential antagonist alongside Hall’s Beck. Speaking of Beck, Johnny Berchtold plays his son Richard. Meanwhile, Roberto Montesinos and Daniel David Stewart will play Guillermo Villanueva and Stephen Elliott, DEA agents who work with Daffy and Reacher.
As new cast members are announced, we will update this section accordingly. The current cast for “Reacher” season 3 is:
Alan Richtson as Jack Reacher A former military police major in the U.S. Army, he drifts around America fighting bad guys.Maria Sten as Frances Neegley a corporate security expert who served with Reacher in the Army.Anthony Michael Hall as Zachary Beck A widowed single father, he is suspected of using his rug import company as a cover for illegal activities.Sonya Cassidy as Susan Duffy A tough Boston DEA agent with a sharp sense of humor.Brian Tee as Quinn He is a former lieutenant colonel who investigated Reacher when he sold military secrets to a hostile country 10 years ago.Johnny Berchtold as Richard Beck Zachary Beck’s college-age son was mutilated in a traumatic kidnapping five years ago.Roberto Montesinos as Guillermo Villanueva He is an employee of the Drug Enforcement Agency who is nearing retirement, and is Agent Duffy’s mentor and father figure.Daniel David Stewart as Stephen Elliott A rookie DEA agent still learning the job.
How to watch “Reacher” seasons 1 and 2
Viewers around the world can watch Reacher seasons 1-2 on Prime Video. All 16 episodes (8 episodes per season) are currently available on the popular streaming service.
“Reacher” Season 3 synopsis
Alan Ritchson has already announced that Season 3 will be based on Lee Child’s seventh Reacher film, Persuader. I won’t go into spoilers here, but if you don’t want to know anything about the next season of Reacher, turn back now.
Well, there are only two things you need to know about “Persuader” and how it ties into Season 3. First, a summary of the plot, according to an interview with The Hollywood Reporter. “Reacher Goes” follows an undercover investigation to rescue an informant who has been captured by an enemy from the past. ”
Second, although Sten will return as Neegree in Season 3, Neegree doesn’t actually appear in the original story. So her character will be something of a wild card for season 3, as the showrunners will be going off-book.
