Season two of Amazon Prime Video’s Reacher just ended, and fans are already wondering if they’ll get a third season.

In 2022, season one of Reacher brought the best-selling book series by Lee Child to life. Although fans had to wait until the end of 2023 for season two, it seems to be worth the wait. Reacher is currently the top-streamed show on Amazon, and it’s easy to see why. There are mysteries to solve and a lot of butt-kicking action to enjoy. Alan Ritchson, who also starred as Hank Hill/Hawk in Titans, plays the titular Jack Reacher, and he means business when it comes to bad guys stepping out of line.

Reacher, a former U.S. Army military policeman, lives the life of a vagabond, only stopping when the action compels him. He may have bulging muscles that could make him look like a bit of a himbo, but he’s got enough brains to solve crimes and spout witty quips. He’s the complete package. As Reacher wraps up season 2, does that mean we’ll have to say goodbye?

Is there going to be a season 3 of Reacher?

With the current popularity of the show, it’s safe to say that fans would love to see another season of Reacher. Luckily, that wish will come true. Before season two premiered, Amazon revealed at CCXP in early December that the show already has the green light for a third season. So, we’ll get to see Jack Reacher settling things his way for at least one more adventure.

Before Reacher and his team got revenge at the end of season 2, news about season 3 already leaked. In an interview with The Messenger, Child discussed the production had chosen the book choice for the new season.

“We felt we needed a book that was more Reacher alone for the third season. And so it was a question of which story would work best for that, and which one would have a great opening scene and all of that, and we found one that we loved.”

To add to Child’s comments, Ritchson said this book is “on every Top 10 list.” Now Variety confirmed season three will be based on the seventh book in the series, Persuader. In Persuader Reacher seeks revenge on an old enemy while diving into the world of organized crime. Variety also noted one character from the first two seasons shall return, Frances Neagley (Maria Sten). Neagley is the closest thing Reacher has to a best friend, especially in the show, so it makes sense she will appear, even though she is not featured in the novel.

Only a few days ago, Ritchson posted on social media the production for season 3 is underway. That means we’ll be seeing more of Reacher sooner rather than later.

As long as the show maintains its viewership, it could go on for years. The source material spans 28 books and several short stories. Since the novels don’t deal with an overly impactful timeline, the show can adapt them in whatever order it sees fit. For example, the first season came from the first novel, Killing Floor, yet the second season took from the eleventh novel, Bad Luck and Trouble. Plus, author Lee Child plans to continue writing Jack Reacher’s story before passing the writing duties off to his younger brother, Andrew Child. It looks like Reacher will be punching hard for some time to come.
