Amazon’s Reacher continues to dominate the streaming world, with Season 3 shattering records on Prime Video. The latest season has become the most-watched returning season in the platform’s history, as well as the most-viewed overall since Fallout, drawing an impressive 54.6 million viewers in just 19 days.
A Growing Global Phenomenon
Alan Ritchson reprises his role as Jack Reacher, the former U.S. Army military police major turned drifter, who roams the country dispensing justice in his own brutal yet intelligent way. The show’s appeal isn’t limited to action-packed brawls and thrilling investigations—its massive global audience speaks to the character’s enduring appeal. Over half of Reacher’s audience comes from outside the U.S., with particularly strong performances in the U.K., Germany, and Brazil.
While Season 2 was already a massive success, Season 3 has managed to grow its audience even further. The slight 0.5% increase in viewership from the previous season signals that Reacher is not just maintaining its popularity but expanding its fanbase.
Reacher vs. A True Giant
This season, Reacher encounters one of his most formidable opponents yet—Olivier Richters, the 7’2” Dutch giant. Richters towers over Alan Ritchson, creating a thrilling dynamic that challenges Reacher in a way audiences haven’t seen before. The physicality of their on-screen confrontation adds a fresh layer of intensity to the already high-stakes action sequences the show is known for.
Reacher’s Place Among Streaming Giants
For comparison, Fallout set the benchmark earlier in the year with 65 million viewers in 16 days, while The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power Season 2 pulled in 40 million viewers in just 11 days. Reacher may not have reached Fallout’s staggering numbers, but its steady growth and strong international appeal demonstrate that it’s becoming a staple of Prime Video’s original programming.
With Reacher’s unstoppable momentum, it’s clear that Amazon has a long-term hit on its hands. As the series continues to evolve and introduce new, larger-than-life adversaries, its fanbase is only expected to grow. The only question left: what’s next for Jack Reacher?
