What’s particularly impressive is that Reacher is holding strong without the boost of new episodes—Season 3 hasn’t even premiered yet. This surge in viewership is likely due to fans revisiting earlier seasons or new viewers discovering the series ahead of the next chapter. It’s clear that audiences can’t get enough of Alan Ritchson’s take on the sentient flesh mountain, and the numbers reflect just how much anticipation there is for what’s next, so with Season 3 set to bring even more bone-crunching action and mystery later this mont, don’t be surprised if Reacher climbs even higher in the rankings once new episodes drop
What is ‘Reacher’ Season 3 About?
Speaking to Comic Book back in 2024, Ritchson was happy to confirm that the show would be reverting to a more “classic” direction with Reacher returning to being a lone wolf, following the squad aspect of Season 2, which some fans felt came slightly too early in the show. After all, a drifter can’t be a proper drifter if he’s always got buddies by his side. He said:
“I can’t say too much about Season 3, but I will say there’s a lot of classic Reacher stories which are just adventures that he gets sucked into in a big way. We get to enjoy Reacher in a new world. It may not have anything to do with family, with his past, he’s just living that adventure out, and that’s kind of the direction that we’ve gone, and it seems to really be working.”
