Jack Reacher is ready to solve his next mystery – and get in a fight or two – when one of Prime Video’s most popular series returns to streaming this week.

“Reacher,” which has already been renewed for a fourth season, follows the title character, a veteran military police investigator portrayed by Alan Ritchson, as he investigates a series of crimes and conspiracies.

Each season of the series based on author Lee Child’s “Jack Reacher” books has been based on a different title in the best-selling series. The first two seasons were based on the first “Reacher” novel, “Killing Floor,” and the 11th book in the series, “Bad Luck and Trouble,” respectively.

For Season 3, showrunner Nick Santora has adapted the seventh “Jack Reacher” novel, “Persuader,” for an eight-episode run. The season picks up as Reacher, now a drifter, becomes embroiled in a rescue mission of an undercover DEA informant while confronting his own haunted past, according to Prime Video.

Here’s everything to know about the upcoming Season 3 of “Reacher,” including the cast, trailer and when it premieres on Prime.
