With the current season of Reacher wrapping up soon, fans are bracing for a break from the action. But even though the season is almost over, there’s still good news. The show, led by Alan Ritchson, had a blockbuster run — breaking viewership records left and right. Its three-episode premiere made a huge impact, earning Reacher a spot on Nielsen’s list of top U.S. streaming originals.
In a powerful return (no surprise coming from Ritchson’s Jack Reacher), the show quickly shot up to second place on Nielsen’s chart for the week of February 17. Though not everyone tuned in for the new season alone—since the numbers cover all episodes—viewers watched a massive 1.81 billion minutes of Reacher that week. Of that, 78% of the views were for the new episodes, while older ones brought in the remaining 22%.
Curious about the gender split? Around 58% of viewers watching the strong and muscular Ritchson were men. This surge in numbers is closing in on the show’s all-time high during its February 2022 debut. With time still on the clock, there’s a real chance Reacher might match or even top its past record.

Just last week, reports showed that Prime Video was breaking viewership records, thanks to Reacher‘s comeback. In just 19 days, the series pulled in 54.6 million views, passing Fallout to become the platform’s most-watched title. These massive numbers also make Reacher the most-streamed returning series in Prime Video’s history.
There’s a lot to enjoy in the world of Reacher. Along with Fast X star Ritchson, the series also stars Maria Sten, Sonya Cassidy, Johnny Berchtold, Brian Tee, and others. The main character comes straight from Lee Child’s famous book series, with the show’s writers skillfully turning the action, emotions, and character growth into a great TV experience.
With the Season 3 finale coming up soon, now’s the perfect time to catch up on all the episodes of Reacher currently streaming on Prime Video.
