REACHER Season 3 Trailer (2025) Alan Ritchson
© 2025 - Prime Video

We’ve seen a teaser for Reacher’s third season, headed to Prime Video this coming February. But now we have the first official trailer and it has renewed my hope in this show, after a truly abysmal second season.

Season 2 was a huge disappointment—I included it in my Worst TV Shows Of 2024 list—after the debut season was a close to perfect adaptation of the first Lee Child “Reacher” novel, Killing Floor. Beyond its many plot holes and lackluster plot, the second season saw Reacher team up with his ex-army buddies, which kind of defeats the entire point of Reacher being a one-man army who can take down even the most intimidating foes all by his lonesome. Details matter, as the characters in Season 2 never stopped reminding us.

Don’t get me wrong: Reacher almost always has help in some form or another. He had help from Roscoe and Finlay in Season 1, but they weren’t fighting alongside him. The fight scenes in Season 2 were almost all terrible by comparison.

Season 3 looks like a return to form. Here’s the trailer:

This season is based on the seventh “Reacher” novel, Persuader. Of the books in the series that I’ve read, this is my second favorite after Killing Floor, and one of the better ones I can think of to adapt for TV. I won’t spoil what happens in the book, but the official logline for the season reads: “In the third season of the action-packed series, Reacher (Alan Ritchson) hurtles into the dark heart of a vast criminal enterprise when trying to rescue an undercover DEA informant whose time is running out. There he finds a world of secrecy and violence—and confronts some unfinished business from his own past.”

Reacher will team up with DEA Susan Duffy (Sonya Cassidy) who, if the story follows the book, will also be our leading man’s romantic interest this time around. Reacher will go up against a cabal of criminals including Paulie (Olivier Richters) pictured in the top image of this post. As you can see, he’s quite a lot bigger than Reacher. He’s also a very bad dude. Anthony Michael Hall also joins the cast as Zackary Beck, the chief antagonist of the season.
The third season of Reacher is based on Lee Child's novel Persuader. The 8-episode will roll out weekly, with the first 3 episodes premiering on February 20.
The wait is over - the trailer for Season 3 of the action-packed series Reacher has arrived, and it's packed with thrilling hints of what's to come. With Alan Ritchson reprising his role as Jack Reacher, the trailer shows a non-stop rush of intense drama, pulse-pounding stunts, and suspense.

Trailer release
The trailer for the upcoming season was released by Amazon Prime Video on Thursday. Reacher Season 3 draws inspiration from the novel Persuader and pits Jack against a formidable foe, Pauli, aka the Dutch Giant.

However, the trailer hints at a complex dynamic between the two, suggesting they may start as allies before becoming sworn enemies. This season's mission sees Jack embarking on a rescue operation to save an undercover DEA agent, but things take a personal turn as he confronts a villain he believes he killed years ago.

The trailer also offers a glimpse of Frances Neagley, played by Maria Sten, a recurring character who will soon headline her spinoff series set within the Jack Reacher universe.

“Exactly how much danger is this job putting me in?” Jack is seen asking, with the tagline playing out “Trouble doesn’t get any bigger” to the tune of Carry on My Wayward Son by the band Kansas. And that sets the tone for the upcoming season.

According to the official logline, in the third season, “Reacher hurtles into the dark heart of a vast criminal enterprise when trying to rescue an undercover DEA informant whose time is running out. There he finds a world of secrecy and violence—and confronts some unfinished business from his own past”.

Newcomers to the upcoming season include Anthony Michael Hall as Zachary Beck, Sonya Cassidy as Susan Duffy, Brian Tee as Quinn, Johnny Berchtold as Richard Beck, Robert Montesinos as Guillermo Villanueva, Olivier Richters as Paulie, and Daniel David Stewart as Steven Elliot.

Fans react
Fans of the show are electrified by the news, taking to social media to express their explosive excitement for the action-packed third season of Reacher.

“Somebody is bigger than Reacher. This alone is a solid reason to watch Season 3,” one fan commented on YouTube, with another sharing, “Finally, a worthy opponent for Reacher! This deserves unlimited seasons, keep em coming”.

“Reacher vs a man bigger than Reacher? Now that’s the fight I’m eager to see," shared one user.

“Now this is something new,” one comment read, with another adding, “Its gonna be BIG vs MASSIVE (read: Paulie) this time”.

More about the show
The eight-episode season will roll out weekly, with the first three episodes premiering on February 20, and subsequent episodes will drop every Thursday through March 27, 2025. It will stream on Prime Video. The second season was the most viewed release in 2023 on Prime Video. Based on the novels by Lee Child, Reacher is written for television by Emmy-nominated writer Nick Santora who also serves as showrunner.
Amazon Prime has released the trailer for “Reacher” Season 3. The first three episodes of the crime thriller premiere on Feb. 20, with subsequent episodes airing every Thursday until March 27.

There he finds a world of secrecy and violence—and confronts some unfinished business from his own past.”

In the trailer, we see Reacher fistfight a 7-foot behemoth of a man named Paulie. “He’s twice my size,” Reacher says to Frances Neagley (Maria Sten) over the phone. “Last time I saw a guy twice your size was on Mount Rushmore,” she quips.

Jack Reacher (Alan Ritchson) is back, taking down “the big, powerful sons of bitches who think they can get away with things,” in the words of his best only friend Neagley (Maria Sten). It’s kind of his thing.

Amazon Prime Video released the trailer for “Reacher” Season 3 on Wednesday, January 8, 2025. The season itself premieres on Thursday, February 20, which is when its first three episodes will be made available; the remaining five episodes will roll out weekly each Thursday through March 27, 2025.

So, pretty much like “Reacher” Seasons 1 or 2 (and probably 4), more or less.

In addition to Ritchson’s return in the title role, Sten returns as Frances Neagley; Sten’s character already has her own spinoff serious, (predictably — and perhaps lazily) titled “Neagley.” New to the “Reacher” cast for Season 3 are Anthony Michael Hall as “Zachary Beck,” Sonya Cassidy as “Susan Duffy,” Brian Tee as “Quinn,” Johnny Berchtold as “Richard Beck,” Robert Montesinos as “Guillermo Villanueva,” Olivier Richters as that huge dude “Paulie,” and Daniel David Stewart as “Steven Elliot.”

Impressively, Richters makes Ritchson look like, well, me.

The “Reacher” series are based on Child’s novel series. The show is produced by Amazon MGM Studios, Skydance Television, and CBS Studios. “Reacher” is written for television by Nick Santora (“Prison Break”), who also executive produces and serves as showrunner. In addition to Santora and Child, Ritchson will serve as an executive producer, along with Don Granger, Scott Sullivan, Mick Betancourt, and David Ellison, Dana Goldberg, and Matt Thunell for Skydance. Carolyn Harris and Kenny Madrid are the executives-in-charge of the series for Skydance Television.

A new trailer for Reacher season 3 has been unveiled. The second installment of the Lee Child adaptation quickly broke new ground for Prime Video, becoming its most-watched title in just a matter of days. The streamer will be looking to build on that success with Reacher season 3, which is based on the novel Persuader and will feature Alan Ritchson's titular protagonist facing a foe from his past. A teaser trailer has already been shown, highlighting how Jack Reacher struggles to land a punch against the gigantic Paulie. The character is played by Olivier Richters, also known as the Dutch Giant.

A new trailer for Reacher season 3 has been unveiled ahead of the show's return to Prime Video in February. The eight-episode season will follow a weekly release model, with the first three episodes debuting on February 20, followed by one episode a week every Thursday through March 27. The two-minute trailer will speak to Supernatural fans with its use of the Kansas song "Carry On My Wayward Son," though it is most notable for featuring some spoilers between Jack Reacher and Paulie. For instance, they seem to be on the same side at first. Check out the trailer below:

The new trailer finally reveals more about what the story will actually look like, as Reacher is recruited to be an undercover agent in an attempt to catch a shady rug import owner. It turns out that the job carries personal weight for the lead character, who has to go up against a man he thought he killed years ago. The preview is fairly heavy on revealing some specific moments to come, including how Paulie and Reacher go from reluctant allies to enemies.

Reacher is produced by Amazon MGM Studios, Skydance Television, and CBS Studios, with Nick Santora serving as showrunner, writer, and executive producer. Ritchson serves as executive producer as well, as do Child, Don Granger, Scott Sullivan, Mick Betancourt, David Ellison, Dana Goldberg, and Matt Thunell for Skydance. Carolyn Harris and Kenny Madrid, meanwhile, are the executives in charge of the series for Skydance Television.

The trailer also spotlights the return of Maria Sten as Frances Neagley. The actor has appeared in every Reacher season so far and will soon lead her own Neagley spinoff, which will also be a part of Prime Video. Other cast members include Chicago Med alum Brian Tee and Halloween Kills actor Anthony Michael Hall, although the focus will likely be on the Dutch Giant and his scenes with Ritchson.

Whether it's just a case of the trailer including some of the best moments or a response to some of the criticisms around season 2, the new trailer spotlights a more vulnerable and funny side of Reacher once again. The team-up with Paulie should be fun as well, at least until things go south.

Maria Sten reprises her role as Frances Neagley, Reacher’s trusted ally. Joining the cast this season are Anthony Michael Hall as Zachary Beck, Sonya Cassidy as Susan Duffy, Brian Tee as Quinn, Johnny Berchtold as Richard Beck, Robert Montesinos as Guillermo Villanueva, Olivier Richters as Paulie, and Daniel David Stewart as Steven Elliot.

The series has garnered a dedicated fanbase for its intense action sequences and compelling storytelling. Season three promises to delve deeper into Reacher’s personal and professional struggles while introducing a host of new characters to the franchise.

The first three episodes of the third season will arrive on Prime Video on February 20.
Following the adventures of former military policeman Jack Reacher, the Amazon Prime Video series Reacher has emerged as one of the best action/thriller series on TV. If you're a longtime fan of Lee Child and his unique literary creation, then the style and world of Reacher are totally familiar: Reacher is a no-nonsense, slightly old-school hero. He can be cold and calculating, but he's got a very specific moral compass, and he can take down bad guys pretty easily.

If you're not familiar with Reacher's badassery—played brilliantly by Alan Ritchson—the nice thing about the series (and the books) is you can pick it up pretty much anywhere you want. Like great detective novels or spy stories, many of Reacher's narrative arcs are self-contained. With Reacher Season 3, we're about to dive into the events of the 2003 Lee Child novel Persuader. Here's what you need to know about the cast, the release date, and the story of Reacher Season 3.

The third season of Reacher will debut on Amazon Prime Video on Thursday, February 20. The first three episodes will debut all at once and, generally speaking, Prime Video shows become available to stream around 8:00 PM EST.

How Many Episodes Are in Reacher Season 3?

Reacher Season 3 will consist of eight episodes in total, which means there will be five new episodes dropping every Thursday after February 20. This means the final episode will air on March 27, 2025.

Reacher Season 3 Trailer

The full-length trailer for Reacher Season 3 dropped on January 8, 2025, and it also confirmed the release date of the new season at the same time. In it, we see Reacher confronting a shadowy figure from his past, and also being recruited to infiltrate a crime organization led by an old enemy named Quinn (Brian Tee). Much of the trailer makes a point of showing how small Reacher is next to Paulie, played by the massive bodybuilder Olivier Richters, known in some real-life circles as "The Dutch Giant."

The trailer also re-teams Reacher with his former military pal Frances Neagley (Maria Sten), as well as introduces DEA handler Susan Duffy (Sonya Cassidy).

Reacher is an American action crime television series developed by Nick Santora for Amazon Prime Video. Based on the Jack Reacher book series by Lee Child, it stars Alan Ritchson as the title character, a self-proclaimed hobo and former U.S. Army military policeman with formidable strength, intellect, and abilities. During his travels, Reacher crosses paths with dangerous criminals and battles them.

The first season of Reacher was based on Killing Floor, Child's 1997 debut novel, and was released on February 4, 2022. The second season, based on Bad Luck and Trouble (2007), began on December 15, 2023, and concluded on January 19, 2024. In December 2023, Ritchson revealed that filming of a third season had begun, based on the 2003 novel Persuader.[1] In October 2024, ahead of the third season premiere, the series was renewed for a fourth season.[2] The third season is slated to premiere on February 20, 2025.[3]

Premise
Jack Reacher is a former U.S. Army military police major with extensive AWOL investigative and combat experience who prefers to live as a drifter, traveling from town to town across the United States.

In season 1, while visiting the (fictional) rural town of Margrave, Georgia, Reacher is arrested for murder. After he is freed, he teams up with two honest police officers, Oscar Finlay and Roscoe Conklin, to investigate a local conspiracy involving corrupt lawmen, politicians, and a wealthy business tycoon and his son.

In season 2, Reacher is contacted by a former member of his defunct MP unit from New York City when one of their own is murdered under mysterious circumstances. He reassembles his old team to find the murderers and avenge their friend.

In season 3, Reacher delves into the dark underbelly of a vast criminal enterprise when he attempts to rescue a DEA informant. There, he encounters a world of secrets and violence and is confronted with issues from his past.

1 1 "Welcome to Margrave" Thomas Vincent Nick Santora February 4, 2022
At midnight, a man later identified as Joe Reacher is shot dead just outside Margrave, Georgia. The following morning, Jack Reacher arrives on a Greyhound bus and walks into town, where he is arrested at a diner for the murder. He is sent to be held in the local jail with Paul Hubble, a banker who falsely confessed to the murder. Spivey, a crooked guard, puts them in with the general population, where Reacher brutally foils an attempt on their lives. Hubble explains he confessed to cover for a criminal organization that would have otherwise killed him and his family. After being released, Reacher is verbally threatened in town by the son of local businessman Kliner. When he later returns to the police station, he is informed about a second killing. At the morgue, a discussion about both the recent murder and another one earlier in the week leads him to identify the first victim as his older brother, Joe.
2 2 "First Dance" Sam Hill Scott Sullivan February 4, 2022
Reacher teams up with Oscar Finlay, the local police captain, and a cop named Roscoe Conklin to investigate his brother's murder and the recent disappearance of Hubble following his release from custody. Finlay's boss, Ed Morrison, and his wife are gruesomely murdered at their home. Reacher deduces that he was killed for not taking care of Hubble. The mayor, Grover Teale, himself dirty, takes over as police chief and orders Finlay to conduct a sham investigation into Morrison's death. Finlay's friend, FBI agent Picard, agrees to take Hubble's wife and children into unofficial protective custody. Reacher sets a meeting with Spivey but gets ambushed by two South American ex-soldiers, allowing Spivey to escape. Roscoe then takes him to a bar, where they dance. While driving home, they learn that the road is washed out and are forced to spend the night sleeping in the same motel room, where Reacher opens up about his past.
3 3 "Spoonful" Stephen Surjik Aadrita Mukerji February 4, 2022
Roscoe returns home to find evidence of a break-in. At Reacher's urging, she gives him a gun. The group contacts Joe's colleague, Molly Beth Gordon, at the Secret Service, learning that Joe was in Margrave on a confidential assignment to investigate reports of large-scale counterfeiting. Reacher intimidates one of Kliner's lawyers for information on Jobling, a Kliner truck driver the company went to great pains to release from police custody. Meanwhile, Finlay checks Spivey's house for clues, and gets beaten by police after they mistake him for a burglar. The two men then visit Kliner in person. Kliner claims he knows nothing and makes threats to drop the investigation. Reacher convinces Roscoe and Finlay to move out of their homes temporarily. While buying supplies, Roscoe is approached by Kliner's son KJ, who warns her that Reacher is a murderer. Reacher himself is again ambushed by the ex-soldiers, but this time manages to kill them. He then finds Spivey's corpse in their car trunk.

After meeting with Finlay, Reacher takes Roscoe to help him dispose of the bodies. He also reveals the truth behind KJ's warning: while serving in Iraq, Reacher killed three civilian men who were sexually assaulting a group of young boys. After the evidence is dumped at an Atlanta airport, Reacher pays for a hotel room, where he and Roscoe have sex after she surprises him in the shower. The next day, they visit the home of a former Kliner employee and find empty air conditioner boxes that Reacher suspects were used to move the counterfeit cash. Picard gives them a lead on the motel Joe stayed at before he was killed; Reacher finds a hidden note before he and Roscoe are jumped by more mercenaries. Roscoe saves Reacher's life, and Reacher admits that he put himself in danger to protect her. Molly Beth arrives in Atlanta with Joe's files on the case, but someone kills her and steals the files seconds before Reacher finds her.

Desperate for new leads, Reacher finds a key and trunk left by Roscoe's deceased former boss Gray, containing research that confirms Reacher's suspicions that Margrave is the heart of Kliner's counterfeiting operation, but with no useable evidence. Traveling to Memphis, Reacher meets with his old comrade, private investigator Frances Neagley, to find a hitman who may have been Joe's murderer. After Roscoe punches Teale upon learning that he murdered Gray, Finlay gets her out of town by having her replace Picard as the Hubble family's bodyguard. Reacher and Neagley survive an attempt on their lives by a desperate Memphis cop whose family was threatened. Finlay breaks into Kliner's office only to find that Kliner has just been killed.

Finlay and Reacher follow one of Kliner's trucks. Finlay tells Reacher the real reason he came to Margrave was not due to divorce, but because his wife Sharon died after a long illness. After finding the truck empty, Reacher goes to New York City to meet with one of Joe's contacts, Professor Kate Castillo, having found that another contact had been murdered under the guise of being mugged. He determines that Kliner had been shipping counterfeit money to a client in Venezuela, using "super bills" made from the specialized paper used in printing dollars. Assassins find Roscoe and Hubble's family, but Roscoe dispatches both men in the woods. While waiting for Picard, Paul Hubble's wife Charlie shares the details of their involvement with Kliner, explaining that Paul was tricked into laundering money and was then forced to watch a man be crucified to ensure his loyalty. Reacher arranges for Castillo to get police protection and uses his necktie to strangle an assassin sent to kill her.

Finlay goes in person to inform Stevenson's parents of his death. The hit squad goes to Hubble's house, planning to kill Reacher, but he traps and kills them all, including Kliner's nephew Dawson. Based on the information he's gathered, he realizes Kliner was bleaching $1 bills to get the paper needed to print his money. Reacher checks in with Roscoe, who shares his discovery with Picard. Reacher helps Finlay evade mercenaries who track him to his motel due to his visit to the Stevensons'. Reacher and Finlay return to Jobling's house, which has been burned to the ground.

9 1 "ATM" Sam Hill Nick Santora December 15, 2023
Somewhere in the Catskill Mountains, a man is shown being thrown out of a helicopter to his death. The next day, Jack Reacher is collecting his pension check in Arkansas when he intervenes to subdue an armed carjacker. He then notices that his own ATM receipt has a military emergency assistance code embedded in the amounts. Reacher contacts his former teammate Frances Neagley, who confirms that she planted it there to get his attention. The man dropped from the helicopter was Calvin Franz, another former member of Reacher's hand-picked Special Investigations Unit during his time in the Army. The two begin investigating the murder with the help of a third member, David O'Donnell. Reacher obtains a data drive hidden by Franz, obtaining a list of numbers, a separate list of names starting with the initials A.M, suspected to be aliases. Neagley reveals that another member of the 110th Special Investigations Unit, Stan Lowery, died in a car accident two years before Franz was killed, leaving only 7 living members of the 110th. The trio swear to avenge their dead friend, Franz, by finding and punishing his killers themselves. The trio then tried to locate another member of the Special Investigations Unit, Tony Swan at his home but upon noticing that no one was answering the door, they broke in to find the house empty and Swan's dog dead from dehydration. Reacher, noticing the pattern that with Franz murdered and now Swan presumed dead, deduced that someone is targeting every living member of Reacher's unit with brutal efficiency.

Along the way they meet Karla Dixon, another member of the team and potential love interest for Reacher. They find a helpful ally in David Wright, the casino's Chief of Security. He comps the team a suite to stay in and helps them search for Sanchez and Orozco. Unfortunately, his police contacts confirm that both men were abducted, murdered, and dumped in the same region of mountains as Franz. He is also able to confirm that none of the casinos are missing money, so the numbers on the list must mean something else. A later assassination attempt points them back towards New York, to a company called New Age Technologies.
11 3 "Picture Says a Thousand Words" Omar Madha Penny Cox December 15, 2023
Flashbacks show New Age head of security Shane Langston torturing Franz for information. Before being thrown from the helicopter, Franz warns Langston that the "big guy" is coming for him.

Meanwhile, Neagley and Dixon visit the offices of New Age Technologies, where Director of Operations Marlo Burns identifies the man who had been sent to kill them as Trevor Seropian and gives them his address. While in Denver, A.M. realizes that his aliases have been blown and tells Langston that his planned arrival in New York will be delayed; meanwhile, Dixon deduces that the list of figures discovered on the Franz USB represents days and months. Reacher, Neagley, Dixon, and O'Donnell pay a visit to Seropian's house, correctly anticipating an ambush, and kill a large number of mercenaries working for New Age. With New Age's involvement now confirmed, the team members conduct a raid on the company's HQ, finding evidence that Special Investigators member Tony Swan had been an employee there.

The team members track the senator's legislative aide to Boston, where Dixon helps Oscar Finlay arrest the aide to coerce information out of him. The aide reveals to Reacher and O'Donnell that Little Wing is a missile program, conducted in New Age facilities in Denver and New York, to create missiles that will always hit their targets. Reacher realizes that people from New Age are planning to sell 650 missiles to AM to enable terrorist attacks. Later that night, the team members are ambushed by a biker gang, but manage to subdue them.

When Russo and Marlo's daughter Jane attempt to go into hiding, they are tracked by New Age hitmen attempting to kill them while pursuing them in a high speed chase across the city, forcing Russo to call the team for backup.

Bassett had joined the series as a director.[12] On February 7, 2022, Amazon Prime Video renewed the series for a second season.[13] To adapt the books to screen the writers decided they would need to make Reacher verbalize his thoughts more often, but that they would keep his dialogue short and direct and have him only speak longer to people he respects. They also decided to introduce Neagley to the series earlier than in the books.[14] On December 2, 2023, ahead of the second-season premiere, it was revealed that filming of a third season had begun.[1] On October 9, 2024, ahead of the third season premiere, Amazon renewed the series for a fourth season.[2]

Reception
Audience
Reacher was the most streamed television series for the week of February 7–13, 2022, according to the Nielsen streaming rankings, the first Amazon production to achieve the feat.[28]

Critical response
For the first season, the review aggregator website Rotten Tomatoes reported a 92% approval rating with an average rating of 7.3/10, based on 75 critic reviews. The website's critics consensus reads, "Reacher captures the trademark bulk of its titular hero while trading away some of his definition, but fans of the novels will find plenty to love about this faithful adaptation."[29] Metacritic, which uses a weighted average, assigned a score of 68 out of 100 based on 18 critics, indicating "generally favorable reviews".[30]

Lucy Mangan of The Guardian said, "This rollicking adaptation of Lee Child's man-mountain ex-military sleuth is hugely fun, packed with punchups and far better than Cruise's movie efforts."[31] Michael Hogan of The Telegraph wrote, "Reacher is huge, pulpy fun and far classier than you might expect."[32] Joshua Alston of Variety praised the casting of Ritchson but said the character was unsuitable to carry this kind of show: "the longer it runs, the more obvious its protagonist-shaped void becomes".[33] Dan Fienberg of The Hollywood Reporter called it "frustratingly over-faithful to the source material", saying, "I wouldn't mind another season, but I'd probably still rather read another book."[34]

The second season has a 98% approval rating on Rotten Tomatoes, based on 43 critic reviews, with an average rating of 7.8/10. The website's critics consensus states, "Brawny as Alan Ritchson's biceps, Reacher swaggers confidently into its sophomore season as rock 'em sock 'em pulp with a sly wink."[35] Metacritic, which uses a weighted average, assigned a score of 79 out of 100 based on 14 critics, indicating "generally favorable reviews".[36] Conversely, Forbes panned the second season as "one of the worst shows on TV", adding that "there’s just not enough going on to make him (Reacher) a particularly compelling protagonist".[37]

Spin-off
On September 4, 2024, it was announced that a spin-off series focusing on Frances Neagley was in development at Amazon Prime Video with Maria Sten set to reprise her role.[38] On October 1, 2024, it was announced that Amazon had officially greenlit the series with Santora and Nicholas Wootton serving as showrunners for the series.[39]
