From February 20, 2025, Thriller fans can look forward to the return of the popular muscle hero: The action crime series REACHER is already in the 3rd season at Amazon Prime Video. But how long can the streaming hit go? The series is based on a series of books by Lee Child, who will soon leave the template behind.
The template for the Amazon series REACHER is faced with a change
Some time ago, Lee Child (actually: James Grant) spoke about his Reafer rest. Since 1997 the now 70-year-old writer The novels about the ex-military police officer Jack Reacher. In autumn 2025 the 30th (!) Band of the series, which still bears Lee Child’s name on the cover. However, that could change soon.
In 2019 appeared with The hyenas The last Reacher novel that Lee Child wrote alone. Since then, the latest books have been made up by his brother Andrew Grant under the name Andrew Child. As BBC reported, the Creator wants to completely transfer the series to its co-author in the future.
But even if the template should end at some point, fans of the Amazon adaptation don’t have to worry at all. There is still enough fabric for numerous other seasons. Because currently there were a total of only 5 out of 30 Reacher novels adapted:
If we exclude the four novels, the Jack Reacher’s history in front of the very first volume and thus the first season of the Amazon series, are there still 21 undisited books-but also 21 more seasons with Alan Ritchson?
According to the Reach Season 3, it is not yet over: what about the Amazon series?
Since Reach is still a huge hit for Amazon Prime Video, Alan Ritchson’s lovable muscle mountain could accompany us for many more years. As early as October 2024, the streaming service extended its series phenomenon to one 4. Season, which is expected to start in 2026 – and that’s not all.

Amazon could in the future an entire serial universe to create the characters from Lee Child’s books. The foundation stone is laid by an already ordered Reacher spin-off series about fan favorite Frances Neagley (Maria Sten). In contrast to the main series, however, the offshoot is not based on any specific book.
If the spin-off around Reacher’s ex-military colleague and private investigator Neagley is also successful, other offshoots could be created on Amazon. But one thing is already certain: Jack Reacher doesn’t go out of breath so quickly.
