The highly anticipated third season of Reacher has officially premiered on Prime Video with its first three episodes. This latest installment, inspired by Persuader, the seventh novel in Lee Child’s Jack Reacher series, has already made history for the action-packed show.
According to 28 reviews, season 3 has achieved a flawless rating on Rotten Tomatoes, making it the highest-rated season of the series so far. The first season received a 92% rating, while the second season climbed to 98%. With this new record, Reacher continues to establish itself as one of Prime Video’s most popular shows.
This season, Alan Ritchson reprises his role as Jack Reacher, a lone drifter who finds himself in a dangerous mission. His objective? To save an undercover DEA informant before time runs out. However, the deeper he gets into the mission, the more he becomes entangled in a vast criminal network—one that brings back haunting memories from his past.
Our review of Reacher season 3 awarded it four stars, describing it as a thrilling and action-packed ride. According to our critic, “The signature action remains intense, strengthened by a formidable adversary. The gripping storyline ensures this is the best season yet.”
Other critics have also shared their thoughts, mostly in favor of the new season. Nate Richards from Collider rated it 7/10, stating that while it leans more toward a classic action-crime format, it still stands out as one of the strongest in its category. Similarly, The Telegraph’s Michael Hogan gave it a 4/5, describing it as “ultraviolent and unapologetically macho, yet sprinkled with enough humor to keep it from becoming over-the-top.”
Meanwhile, IGN praised a particular addition to the cast, rating the season 8/10. Reviewer Luke Reilly noted, “Susan Duffy, introduced in season 3, is easily the most compelling supporting character the series has seen so far.”
New episodes of Reacher drop every Thursday on Prime Video. Fans can keep track of the release schedule to stay up to date. Additionally, we caught up with Alan Ritchson, who shared his excitement about facing a worthy opponent this season and addressed the ongoing joke about Reacher never needing to hit the gym.
