Reacher Season 3 Tops Fallout as Prime Video Hit

Reacher Season 3 has become Amazon's biggest returning series triumph - breaking Prime Video records as both the most-watched returning season and the top-performing season since Fallout's debut when comparing their first 19-day viewership periods.

Starring Alan Ritchson as the iconic drifter Jack Reacher, the series follows the adventures of a former military police officer who stumbles into dangerous situations while traversing America. Equal parts brilliant investigator and fearsome fighter, Reacher establishes himself as the most formidable intellect - and the deadliest combatant - wherever he goes.

Season 3 sees Reacher face his greatest physical challenge yet: towering Dutch actor Olivier Richters stands at an intimidating 7'2", putting him at a rare height advantage over the muscular lead.

Variety reports staggering global viewership of 54.6 million for Reacher Season 3's first 19 days - numbers nearly matching the expansive shoulder width of lead actor Alan Ritchson.

The figures represent a slight 0.5% increase over Season 2's performance during the same timeframe, demonstrating the show's continued growth despite already being Prime Video's flagship action series. Its popularity extends far beyond American borders - international audiences account for over half the viewership, with particularly strong performance in the UK, Germany and Brazil.

For perspective, Fallout attracted 65 million viewers in its initial 16 days this past April, while The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power Season 2 drew 40 million viewers in its first 11 days following its August 2024 premiere.

IGN awarded Reacher Season 3 an impressive 8/10 score, praising: "While deviating more from its source material than previous seasons, Season 3 delivers Reacher at his most brutally efficient - proving this franchise remains one of television's most satisfying action experiences."

Unsurprisingly, Amazon has already confirmed Reacher Season 4 - with the greenlight coming before Season 3 even premiered.
