Alan Ritchson’s Reacher returns for season 3 of the Prime Video series, where he’ll fight his biggest foes yet.

You know the saying: the bigger they are, the harder they fall. For the past two seasons of Reacher on Prime Video, we’ve gotten used to Alan Ritchson’s titular character being the biggest guy in the room. Now, however, he’s finally met another dude who’s bigger and stronger than he is. Of course, Reacher’s power has never come solely from his brawn. It’s his understanding of human behavior and his fine attention to detail that helps him quickly pick out his opponent’s weaknesses. Before we see how Reacher takes on this new challenger, let’s take a look at everything we know about Reacher season 3.

Who is the big guy in Reacher season 3?

The big guy in Reacher season 3 is a fella named Paulie, played by a seven-foot-two actor named Olivier Richters. Richters is a Dutch bodybuilder turned actor, who you might recognize from his roles in Black Widow and Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny. For context, the actor who played The Mountain on Game of Thrones, Hafþór Júlíus Björnsson, is only six-foot-nine.

How many seasons of Reacher are planned?

Last fall, Variety reported that Reacher was renewed for a season 4 on Prime Video. Depending on how season 3 fares, we’ll likely get more information about whether or not Amazon has a season 5 planned after this season wraps up.

In Lee Child’s books, Reacher is stated to be six-foot-five. In real life, Alan Ritchson is six-foot-three, but I don’t think anyone is chasing him around with a measuring tape. Ritchson embodies the spirit of Reacher, which is what matters.

What is the Reacher season 3 release date?

Reacher season 3 is set to release on Prime Video on February 20, 2025, when the first three episodes drop. After that, new episodes will be released weekly.

What book is season 3 of Reacher based off of?

Season 3 of Reacher will adapt Persuader by Lee Child, which is the seventh book in Child’s Reacher series. If you want to get all the details on what’s in store for the big man and the even bigger man, then run down to your local library or bookstore and grab a copy.
