Amazon Prime Video’s Reacher continues to ramp up the action and stakes as it gears up for Season 3. Alan Ritchson returns as Jack Reacher, the towering ex-military hero who usually dominates any confrontation. However, the latest trailer introduces a challenger of even greater physical stature: seven-foot-two bodybuilder Olivier Richters as Paulie. This dynamic promises to bring a thrilling mix of camaraderie and conflict as the two titans face off.
The new trailer, set to the tune of Kansas’ Carry on Wayward Son, provides a deeper look into the storyline, revealing that Reacher is recruited for an undercover mission to dismantle a shady rug import business. The operation becomes personal when Reacher encounters a man from his past, long presumed dead. Tension builds as Paulie and Reacher begin as reluctant allies, sharing moments of gym banter and arm-wrestling, before transitioning into adversaries. A climactic shot of a bloodied Paulie hints at an epic showdown, with Reacher likely overcoming his larger foe in classic underdog style.
Season 3 adapts Persuader, the seventh book in Lee Child’s Jack Reacher series. Alongside Ritchson, Maria Sten reprises her role as Frances Neagley, delivering the sharp banter fans have come to expect. The trailer also teases the arrival of new characters, including Anthony Michael Hall as the villainous Zachary Beck, and other cast additions like Sonya Cassidy, Brian Tee, Johnny Berchtold, and Robert Montesinos. Neagley’s popularity has even secured her a spin-off series, further expanding the Reacher universe.
The official synopsis hints at a dark, action-packed season: “In the third season of the action-packed series, Reacher (Ritchson) hurtles into the dark heart of a vast criminal enterprise when trying to rescue an undercover DEA informant whose time is running out. There he finds a world of secrecy and violence—and confronts some unfinished business from his own past.”
With Reacher Season 4 already confirmed, showrunner Nick Santora appears committed to delving deeper into the world of Jack Reacher. The third season premieres on 20 February, promising fans high-octane action, witty exchanges, and a more vulnerable yet formidable Reacher. For fans of the books and the show alike, one thing is clear: the journey is just getting started.
