The popular Amazon Prime Video series Reacher wrapped up its third season on March 27, 2025, leaving fans buzzing with excitement over the show's future. The latest season, consisting of eight episodes, showcased the titular character, Jack Reacher, infiltrating a criminal organization, a move that came with significant consequences, including the loss of many allies.
As the series concluded, Catherine Ritchson, the wife of lead actor Alan Ritchson, took to Instagram to express her gratitude towards Sonya Cassidy, who plays Susan Duffy, Reacher's romantic interest. In her heartfelt post, Catherine praised Cassidy's professionalism and work ethic, particularly highlighting how she navigated the complexities of filming intimate scenes. "I want to highlight and show my gratitude for Sonya Cassidy's work ethic," Catherine wrote. "This woman is an ACTRESS. I’m impressed with what she managed to put on screen as Duffy. My role during these long shoots is as a wife and mother at home while the cast films long and exhausting hours; and the elephant in the room is that there are love scenes that need to be filmed (spoiler alert for last week’s episode). The truth is they can feel vulnerable for all parties involved - the actors and the spouses at home."
She continued, "Sonya is a dream come true for any actor's partner. She comes prepared (which means faster filming days) and has distinct professional boundaries. Let me tell you one thing: that work ethic, those boundaries - all of that synergizes in her otherworldly performance." Following her post, Cassidy responded with warmth, saying, "Cat, I’m touched. Thank you to you and Alan for welcoming me into this turbulent world of Reacher - both on and off the screen. It was a pleasure working with your husband and spending time with you and your lovely boys along the way. If I may say - they are very lucky boys. All four of you, from the Ritchson clan, kisses."
Fans of Reacher are now eagerly speculating about the show's future, especially since Amazon Prime Video has already confirmed a fourth season. This decision comes as no surprise, given the series' popularity as one of the streaming platform's standout offerings in recent years. In addition to the main series, Amazon is also developing spin-offs, including one titled "Projeto sem Título de Neagley," which will explore the character played by Maria Sten as she deals with the fallout from a friend's suspicious death. Currently in production, this spin-off is expected to be available for streaming in early 2026.
As for the main series, fans can anticipate new episodes as early as next year (2026) or, at the latest, in early 2027. The third season was based on the seventh book in Lee Child's Jack Reacher series, titled Persuader. The show has taken creative liberties with the source material, adapting it almost like an anthology. For instance, while the first season adapted the first book, the second season jumped to the eleventh title, Bad Luck and Trouble.
Looking ahead, there’s much speculation about which book will be adapted next. In a recent interview with Men’s Journal, both Alan Ritchson and Maria Sten shared their preferences. Sten expressed a desire for the adaptation of Without Fail, the sixth book, which revolves around a plot to assassinate the Vice President of the United States, forcing Reacher and Neagley to unite against a complex scheme. Ritchson, on the other hand, indicated a preference for Die Trying, the second book, which involves Reacher being kidnapped and taken to a mysterious location, a storyline that promises to keep viewers on the edge of their seats.
Since its launch in February 2022, Reacher has captivated audiences with its gripping narrative, following the story of Jack Reacher, a former military police officer who finds himself falsely accused of murder. The series has received critical acclaim, boasting an impressive 96% approval rating on Rotten Tomatoes. The review consensus states, "Reacher captures the rugged essence of its main hero, although it slightly alters some definitions, yet fans of the novels will find much to enjoy in this faithful adaptation."
As viewers await the next installment, the excitement surrounding Reacher continues to build, with both the main series and its spin-offs promising to deliver thrilling new content for fans of the franchise. With strong performances, engaging storylines, and a dedicated fanbase, the future looks bright for Jack Reacher and his adventures.
