Amazon's *Reacher Season 3* has become a phenomenal success, marking it as the most-watched returning season ever on Prime Video. It has also surpassed all other seasons on Prime Video in viewership since *Fallout* over its first 19 days. Starring Alan Ritchson as the titular character, *Reacher* follows the adventures of a former U.S. Army military police major who wanders across the United States, often finding himself in perilous situations due to circumstances beyond his control. Reacher is renowned for his formidable strength and sharp intellect, making him a force to be reckoned with as he tackles bad guys and unravels mysteries.
In an exciting twist for Season 3, Reacher encounters a formidable adversary in the form of Dutch giant Olivier Richters, who stands at an imposing 7 feet 2 inches, towering over Ritchson's character. This confrontation adds a new layer of intensity to Reacher's journey.
