Amazon's Preposterous Action Hit Shouldn't Work As Well As It Does
Briefly

To promote the third season of Amazon Prime's Reacher, a humorous promo clip introduces a new formidable henchman, Paulie, played by 7-foot-2 Olivier Richters. The show, based on Lee Child's book Persuader, continues to build on its success, having had the most watched second season in 2022, which led to a third season's release and a subsequent fourth season greenlit early. Additionally, a spinoff featuring Reacher's ally is also on the horizon, indicating the franchise's strong momentum despite potential controversies from political comments by lead actor Alan Ritchson.
In 2023, Season 2 of the big man's eponymous action series was the most watched Amazon Prime show, and a fourth season was greenlit last fall.
Reacher also has a spinoff coming, featuring the character of Reacher ally Frances Neagley, as played by Maria Sten.
