Reacher Season 3 Premieres with Action

Reacher Season 3 premiered on Prime Video on February 20, 2023, with the first three episodes available to stream, and subsequent episodes released on Thursdays until March 27, 2023, bringing Jack Reacher back in a ruthless and action-packed season based on Lee Child's novel "Persuader", with reacher season 3.

The season sees Jack Reacher, played by Alan Ritchson, in Maine, where he becomes entangled in a DEA operation to find a missing undercover informant while searching for an unforgivable foe from his past. The season introduces a new partner, DEA agent Susan Duffy, played by Sonya Cassidy, who shines in her role, delivering some of the season's toughest and funniest lines.

The action in the season is strong, with sudden and satisfying kills, and Reacher's new season is more ruthless than ever. However, the villains, particularly Anthony Michael Hall's Beck, are less compelling, and the story drags at times due to their sympathetic development. The season's finale plays out differently from the book, with some changes feeling unexplained.

In an interesting behind-the-scenes incident, Alan Ritchson was accidentally punched by Olivier Richters, a 7ft bodybuilder, during filming of season three. Richters, who plays Paulie, a henchman, was filming a fight scene with Ritchson, and his strength and size made the scene too real. The fight scenes in the new season were filmed over three weeks and involved extensive stunts.

Overall, Reacher Season 3 is a must-watch for fans of the series, with Reacher's new partner and the action making it a righteous good time. The season is available to stream on Prime Video, and viewers can also access it from anywhere with a subscription to a VPN.
