Can Reacher Stick To A Yearly Schedule?
It Rivals Many Broadcast Shows, So Consistency Is Key
Reacherhas cemented itself as one of the biggest shows for Prime Video, in addition to being one of the biggest hits on streaming. Accumulating billions of minutes viewed on Nielsen’s streaming charts,Reachereasily has the kind of consistent and reliable viewership usually associated with a broadcast TV procedural likeLaw & Orderor theNCISfranchise.
Because of that, it would benefit the Lee Child adaptation to stick to a yearly release schedule. A few streaming shows, such asThe BearandOnly Murders in the Building, have so far been able to film and release a new season every year. Both stream on Hulu and air around the summer months, building the sort of consistency that helps a series grow its audience.Reacherhas yet to nail down a specific release window.The first season was released in February 2022, while the second debuted in December 2023 and went into January of this year.
How Much Bigger Olivier Richters’ Paulie Is Compared To Alan Ritchson’s Reacher
Olivier Richters, who was cast as Paulie in the upcoming Reacher season 3, towers over the already tall Alan Ritchson, who plays the title role.
With this latest update, it may be the case thataudiences won’t go a full year without new episodes.The crime drama is a big priority for Prime Video and production company Skydance Television. Even with Ritchson’s star on the rise, with movie projects lined up, it could only grow further if audiences know to expect the episodes roughly at a certain time of year. That’s especially true after theReacherseason 2 finalewhen considering the interest in the villainous Paulie and how he compares to the show’s main character.

As for the future beyond the upcomingPersauderadaptation,Reacherseason 4 has yet to be renewed by Prime Video. A renewal is likely to happen, all the same, given how popular the Skydance Television production has proven to be. It could be even be argued that, along with the success ofJack RyanandThe TerminalList, the Alan Ritchson-led action drama has helped its streaming service develop a sort of brand around the sort of strong and generally uncompromising protagonists that are fit to build a franchise around.
