According to Variety, Reacher Season 3 attracted a staggering 54.6 million viewers globally in its first 19 days, a testament to its growing appeal. This figure marks a 0.5% increase over Season 2's numbers during the same period, indicating a surge in popularity. The series enjoys a robust international following, with significant viewership in the U.K., Germany, and Brazil, contributing to over half of its audience.
For comparison, Fallout drew 65 million viewers in its first 16 days in April 2024, while The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power Season 2 amassed 40 million viewers within 11 days of its August 2024 premiere.
IGN's review of Reacher Season 3 awarded it an 8/10, praising its departure from the source material while highlighting Reacher's increased ruthlessness and the series' continued entertainment value. The review stated, "Reacher season 3 diverges more from the book upon which it's based than previous seasons, but Reacher himself is more ruthless than ever and it remains a righteous good time."
Looking ahead, fans can anticipate Reacher Season 4, which was greenlit even before the premiere of Season 3, promising more thrilling adventures with the iconic hero.
