On the big screen, Jack Reacher didn’t make it to the box office high-flyer. On television, the character created by Lee Child drives for it even greater success a. Two years ago, the action series Reacher premiered on Amazon Prime. Within a very short time, she broke numerous streaming records there.
Filming for the third season is currently underway. Alan Ritchson returns in the title role and embarks on his most dangerous mission yet. The hype couldn’t be bigger. But there’s one thing Ritchson can’t understand about it. Why is Reacher considered Peak Dad TV designated? In the interview he takes the prejudice to task.
Is Reacher the ultimate definition of Dad TV? Alan Ritchson has a say in this
Dad TV is a term that derives from the pop culture reception of series like Reacher. What is meant are stories that above all Lure fathers in front of the television. And with Reacher being extremely successful, the series seems to have become the ultimate definition of the term in the eyes of many – Peak Dad TV, that is.

Alan Ritchson as Jack Reacher
“It’s so strange. I see [den Begriff] again and again”Ritchson tells GQ. In the eyes of the Reacher star, however, the series is not just for fathers. He explains:
The funny thing is: I also showed the series to my children. I let them watch the first season – except for the moment where the naked guy is crucified on the wall. But otherwise they have seen everything. With a little context it all made sense. They have [die Serie] loved. For me it is [Reacher] not dad TV, but family TV.
According to the star, the Reacher audience is even bigger:
I was walking down the street the other day and little ladies with walkers were shouting, ‘Reacher… Reacher…’ For me, Dad TV is one misnomer. But I’m a father and I also love the series. Maybe it will work after all.
There you have it from Alan Ritchson himself: Reacher is for everyone. Nobody needs to be ashamed of that, to take a look at the most popular series on Amazon Prime *. There’s a good reason why the story about the former military policeman is a regular on the streaming charts.
When does Reacher season 3 start on Amazon Prime?
Amazon has not yet announced a start date for Season 3 of Reacher. The reason for this is obvious: filming for the new episodes has not yet been completed. We assume that the sequel no earlier than the end of 2024if not until the beginning of 2025, arrives on Amazon Prime.
Until then, you can prepare for the new season with the right book template. This time volume 7 of the novel series will be filmed, namely The Janus Man (original: Persuader). The book was published in 2003. The German translation was published in 2005. Almost two decades later, it was made into a film for the first time.
