“Reacher” received an early Season 4 renewal from Amazon Prime Video.
In the announcement, the streamer confirmed that the third season of the action-crime series will debut sometime in 2025.
In Season 3 – which is based on the seventh book in Lee Child’s bestselling ‘Jack Reacher’ series, titled ‘Persuader’ – Alan Ritchson’s hulking vigilante goes undercover to rescue an informant held by an enemy from his past .
As previously announced, Maria Sten will return for season 3 alongside Anthony Michael Hall, Sonya Cassidy, Brian Tee, Johnny Berchtold, Robert Montesinos, Daniel David Stewart and Olivier Richters.
The news comes a week after Prime Video announced a spinoff of “Reacher” starring Sten. “The Untitled Neagley Project,” as the show is called in a press release, focuses on Sten’s Frances Neagley, a private investigator in Jack Reacher’s inner circle.
The synopsis for the spin-off reads: “When she learns that a beloved friend from her past has been killed in a suspicious accident, she becomes determined to get justice. Using everything she learned from Jack Reacher and her time as a member of the 110 Special Investigators, Neagley sets herself on a dangerous path to uncover an impending evil.”
Season 2 of ‘Reacher’ was the most-watched release of 2023 on Prime Video, according to Amazon.
The series is produced by Amazon MGM Studios, Skydance Television and CBS Studios. Based on the novels by Child, who is the show’s executive producer, “Reacher” was written for television by Nick Santora, who is also the showrunner and executive producer. Other EPs include Ritchson, Don Granger, Scott Sullivan and Mick Betancourt, as well as David Ellison, Dana Goldberg and Matt Thunell for Skydance. Carolyn Harris and Kenny Madrid are the series executives for Skydance Television.
“’Reacher’ has become a phenomenon that continues to resonate with our global customers beyond our wildest expectations, and we are thrilled to bring the series back for an additional season,” said Vernon Sanders, head of television at Amazon MGM Studios. “We look forward to more action and adventure from the incredibly talented team behind the series, including Nick Santora, Alan Ritchson, Lee Child, Skydance and CBS Studios.”
