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 Collider, Reacher 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.”

Here’s all the ways you can watch March Madness

You'll need subscriptions to two different streaming services if you want to catch every game.

Another year, another March without any federal holidays. Thankfully, that void is filled by the NCAA tournament otherwise known as March Madness. Filling our brackets is an annual tradition for many, even if they don't follow college basketball closely, and the tournament's ultimately outcome is often incredibly surprising.

If you're looking for ways to watch the tournament yourself, though, we've got you covered. Here's everything you need to know about how to watch March Madness:
Paramount+
CBS and Turner Sports own the broadcast rights to all the men's games. Naturally, that means you can watch all of the men's games that air on CBS on Paramount+ as well. That will include plenty of games in the rounds of 64 and 32, as well as the Sweet 16 and the Elite Eight. CBS is also the home for the Final Four and the championship game, which means that you'll only be able to stream those games on Paramount+.

Ben Stiller asked Barack Obama to do a ‘Severance’ cameo

Hearing the former president's voice might have taken some viewers out of the show.

Say what you will about Severance, you cannot deny that the show really goes for it. The second season has been filled with some big twists, as well as a surprising voice cameo from Keanu Reeves as the narrator of a video in the season's first episode.

In speaking with Jimmy Kimmel on Monday night, though, director Ben Stiller revealed that they originally went after someone even more high-profile to do the video narration. “There was one person that I asked before [Keanu Reeves], and he said no: President Barack Obama,” Stiller explained.

March binge guide: The best shows on Amazon Prime

An ultimate list of the best shows available to stream on Amazon Prime

Even if you've picked a streaming service, it can be impossible to narrow down what you're really looking for. If you've run out of the best Netflix movies and Netflix Original series to watch, you'll need to find somewhere else to turn. Fortunately, Netflix is far from the only game in town. Anyone who uses Amazon Prime to get packages delivered to them quickly also has access to a library of fairly impressive shows and movies.

Amazon is a mega corporation, and you and I both know that it might not care that much about its streaming offerings. It's not it makes its money, or at least most of it. Even still, I was shocked at how many great shows you can watch on Prime, including some you might not expect.
