"Amazon's Reacher Season 3 Tops Prime Video Views Since Fallout"

Reacher Season 3 has taken Amazon by storm, becoming the most-watched returning season ever on Prime Video. It's also the most-watched season on the platform since the release of Fallout, amassing an impressive viewership over its first 19 days.

The series follows the adventures of Jack Reacher, portrayed by Alan Ritchson, a former major in the U.S. Army's military police. Reacher travels across the United States, inadvertently finding himself in various perilous situations. Known for his formidable strength and sharp intellect, Reacher spends his time tackling bad guys and unraveling mysteries.

In Season 3, Reacher faces a formidable opponent in the form of Dutch giant Olivier Richters, who stands at an imposing 7 feet 2 inches, towering over Ritchson's Reacher.

According to Variety, Reacher Season 3 attracted a staggering 54.6 million viewers globally within its first 19 days. This figure is nearly large enough to span across Alan Ritchson's back, showcasing the show's massive appeal. The viewership marks a 0.5% increase over Season 2's numbers during the same period, indicating that Reacher's popularity is on the rise. The series isn't just a hit in the U.S.; over half of its audience comes from international markets, with significant viewership in the U.K., Germany, and Brazil.

For comparison, Fallout drew 65 million viewers in its first 16 days in April 2024, while The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power Season 2 garnered 40 million viewers in just 11 days following its August 2024 premiere.

IGN's review of Reacher Season 3 awarded it an 8/10, noting that "Reacher season 3 diverges more from the book upon which it’s based than previous seasons, but Reacher himself is more ruthless than ever and it remains a righteous good time."

Looking ahead, fans can rejoice as Reacher Season 4 has already been confirmed, greenlit even before Season 3 began airing.
