When does Reacher season 3 start? After the explosive finale of the second round, we get to the bottom of the most important questions about the continuation of the Amazon series
Reacher has successfully completed another season on Amazon Prime. The action series had already laid siege to the streaming service’s series charts in the wake of its strong debut. The sequel was no different. For weeks, the hulking ex-military man has dominated the list of the most popular series on Amazon.
After eight episodes, however, it’s already over and the wait for the next season begins. At least there’s good news. Amazon is not keeping us in suspense. Season 3 has long since been given the green light. We give you an overview of what you can expect from the upcoming episodes of Reacher
When does Reacher season 3 start on Amazon Prime?
We’ve known since December 2023: Reacher is definitely returning to Amazon Prime with a 3rd season. However, it is not yet clear when this will be released. What is certain is that the wait will be much shorter this time than the almost two-year break between seasons 1 and 2, as filming for season 3 began a few days ago, as lead actor Alan Ritchson revealed on Instagram
We expect the 3rd season of Reacher to be released on Amazon Prime in late 2024 at the earliest, but more likely in early 2025. It is very likely that it will be released on a weekly basis again, meaning that a new episode will be released every Friday. It can be assumed that we can expect another eight of these
Which story will be filmed in Reacher season 3?
Each Reacher season adapts a novel from Lee Child’s underlying book series. However, the series doesn’t take the order very seriously. While season 1 was based on the first novel, Megalomania (OT: Killing Floor), season 2 adapted the eleventh Reacher book, Trouble (OT: Bad Luck and Trouble).
This leaves the creative minds around series creator Nick Santora with a total of 27 more novels from the Reacher universe waiting to be told in the form of moving pictures. Since 1997, Child has written at least one new Reacher volume per year.

The films starring Tom Cruise, namely Jack Reacher and Jack Reacher: No Way Back, were dedicated to the Reacher adventures Sniper (OT: One Shot) and The Hunted (OT: Never Go Back). You can currently subscribe to both on Netflix and Sky’s streaming service WOW to pass the time waiting for season 3
