“I’ve been waiting for this moment for some time now.”
Those words are delivered by Alan Ritchson’s Jack Reacher in the opening seconds of a new teaser for Prime Video‘s hit Reacher, but the sentence could easily belong to legions of fans across the globe as they await season three. The wait officially now has a timeline in place, as Ritchson revealed from the stage at CCXP in São Paulo, Brazil, that a new batch of episodes will debut on the streamer on Feb. 20.
The eight-episode season will roll out weekly, beginning with the first three episodes dropping first followed by subsequent episodes every Thursday through March 27 in more than 240 countries and territories worldwide. Ritchson appeared on the Thunder Stage while standing alongside cast member Maria Sten and Lee Childs, the author of the Reacher novels who also serves as an executive producer.
The news comes following a stellar run for the second season of Reacher, which became the most-viewed release on Prime Video in 2023. Unsurprisingly, Amazon announced earlier this year that the action-packed series had picked up an early renewal for a fourth season that will begin shooting in 2025.
Also not shocking, the new teaser, seen above, casts Ritchson in classic Reacher form in all his muscular glory. Twist: It appears as though Reacher’s met his oversized match in a man named Paulie, aka Paul Masserella, who is a gate guard at a luxury waterfront estate. Based on Child’s novel Persuader, the third season finds Reacher thrust into a criminal enterprise in an attempt to rescue an undercover DEA informant whose time is running out. There he finds a world of secrecy and violence while confronting some unfinished business from his own past.
Ritchson and Sten star opposite new additions to the cast, including Anthony Michael Hall, Sonya Cassidy, Brian Tee, Johnny Berchtold, Robert Montesinos, Daniel David Stewart and Olivier Richters. Reacher is produced by Amazon MGM Studios, Skydance Television and CBS Studios. It’s written by Emmy-nominated writer Nick Santora who executive produces and serves as showrunner.
In addition to Santora and Child, Ritchson is also an executive producer with Don Granger, Scott Sullivan, Mick Betancourt, and David Ellison, Dana Goldberg, and Matt Thunell for Skydance. Carolyn Harris and Kenny Madrid oversee for Skydance Television.
