The third season of Reacher is not set to premiere in 2025, but Amazon Prime Video has already provided another update on the show’s future. According to reporting in ColliderReacher has already been renewed for a fourth season. This news comes just days after Prime Video announced that they would also start production on a spin-off series focused on Maria Sten’s Neagley.

Reacher has remained one of Prime Video’s best-performing shows, so it’s perhaps unsurprising that the series is piling up additional seasons. Based on a series of best-selling novels that were already adapted into feature films, Reacher has proven to be the ideal format for these stories.

“Reacher has become a phenomenon that continues to resonate with our global customers beyond our wildest expectations and we are thrilled to bring the series back for an additional season,” Vernon Sanders, head of television, Amazon MGM Studios said in a statement. “We are looking forward to more action and adventure from the immensely talented team behind the series including Nick Santora, Alan Ritchson, Lee Child, Skydance, and CBS Studios.”

Alan Ritchson, the show’s star, has already revealed that the show will be headed in a more “classical” direction for its third season. The season will adapt the novel Persauder, the seventh in the series, and will see Reacher going undercover to rescue an informant.

“We get to enjoy Reacher in a new world,” Ritchson told Collider. “It may not have anything to do with family, with his past; he’s just living that adventure out, and that’s kind of the direction that we’ve gone, and it seems to really be working.”

The third season of Reacher is in the books, which naturally means that speculation has already started around whether we could be getting a fourth. Reacher has already proven to be one of Amazon Prime Video's biggest hits, so you would think that renewing it for a fourth season would be a no-brainer.

As it turns out, the people at Prime Video agree with that assessment, and Reacher has already been renewed for another season. The announcement that Reacher had been renewed for season 4 was first made in October of 2024. It certainly seems like Prime Video will keep the show going for basically as long as possible.

7 shows like The Sopranos for your next binge
These series all learned from HBO's best drama
The cast of The Sopranos

The Sopranos finds itself in a rare pop culture place right now. Most people know what the show is, whether you're a younger TV fan just getting into the HBO series or a veteran who is on their ninth rewatch in the last 25 years. It's a pioneering classic that is fresh and a relic of its time simultaneously. David Chase's crime drama about a mobster who goes to therapy during the day and kills capos at night brought an entirely new dimension to television that didn't exist before. The show broke barriers that other programs have tried to imitate, but very few have ever accomplished. On the other hand, the shows that have gone shot-for-shot with The Sopranos have improved upon some of the older, more outdated parts of the series.

Because The Sopranos was the original crime drama of the Golden Age of Television, it's not hard to compile a list of copycats. Simply boiling these successors down to their similarities to The Sopranos would be disrespectful, though. These shows like The Sopranos are some of the best TV series of all time and have won Emmys for Outstanding Drama Series, Outstanding Lead Actor in a Drama Series, and more. Time to wake up this morning and get yourself a Sopranos-adjecent binge-watch.
