Jack Reacher has saved the day for a second time on the small display screen. However with the finish of Prime Video’s Reacher season 2, it’s time to look forward at what adventures Alan Ritchson’s large and good particular investigator will rise up to subsequent.
Whereas we don’t know a lot about what’s on the horizon for Jack Reacher, we do know there are extra adventures in retailer for certainly one of Prime’s most profitable reveals. So right here’s all the pieces we know so far about Reacher season 3.
Is Reacher season 3 taking place?
It’s positively taking place. The announcement for the new season truly got here earlier than the second season even started, as Reacher continues to be a giant hit for Prime Video. On high of the renewal, Jack Reacher himself, Alan Ritchson, lately posted a photo on Instagram along with his face lined in mud and the caption “Welp, we’re back.” That positive appears to counsel that filming for Reacher season 3 is already underway.
When will Reacher season 3 be launched?
The hole between Reacher’s first and second seasons was virtually two years, so it’s potential it might be related for seasons 2 and 3, particularly with the writers’ strike presumably delaying the season’s recent scripts. Nevertheless, since we know Ritchson is on set filming already, it appears protected to hope for an early 2025 launch for the new season.

What’s going to Reacher season 3 be about?
There’s actually no good technique to know. On the one hand, it’s virtually definitely going to be based mostly on certainly one of Lee Little one’s Jack Reacher books. On the different hand, there are 21 of them that the present hasn’t tailored but, so it’s a little bit of a crapshoot.
Nevertheless, Ritchson has said in interviews that season 3 can be based mostly certainly one of his favourite Reacher books — one that’s on “every top 10 list” of the collection — and can see Reacher in a “whole new world.” May that presumably imply Tripwire, set in Florida, or 61 Hours, set in snowy South Dakota? The books that have been tailored into Tom Cruise films — One Shot and By no means Go Again — are additionally beloved, but it surely appears unlikely they’ll return to that nicely so quickly after the films. We’ll have to attend and see.
Will anybody from season 2 return?
It’s onerous to say. The Reacher books see him journey from place to put, assembly new individuals and new issues. That was mirrored in the first two seasons of the present, which noticed a number of repeat characters, however principally a brand-new forged for season 2.
Together with Alan Ritchson as Jack Reacher, solely Maria Sten’s Frances Neagley and Malcolm Goodwin’s Oscar Finlay had actual roles in each seasons, with the latter solely displaying up for a cameo in season 2. Neagley would appear like the almost definitely to return exterior of Reacher himself, but it surely’s anybody’s guess at this level till we discover out what e-book showrunner Nick Santora and his staff can be adapting subsequent. However with Ritchson’s feedback a few “whole new world,” that appears to level to a different new forged.
What ought to I be watching whereas I look forward to the new season of Reacher?
A Reacher-sized gap in your coronary heart is not any straightforward factor to fill, however we assume there are a pair good choices. If season-long TV mysteries are your bag, you might all the time try Apple TV’s Gradual Horses, a wonderful British spy collection with spectacular motion, wry comedy, and a terrific Gary Oldman efficiency tying the entire factor collectively.
If, on the different hand, what you’re actually in search of is simply the satisfaction of an enormous man beating the shit out of individuals, then why not check out the Ma Dong-seok’s Crime Metropolis film collection? It began in 2017 with The Outlaws, and has continued to carry out very nicely at the Korean field workplace with sequels The Roundup and The Roundup: No Approach Out. Every entry is healthier than the final and has the sort of “righteous man with fists the size of sledgehammers” motion you might be in search of. There’s one other on the approach this 12 months — The Roundup: Punishment — so it’s a good time to catch up.
