The action series Reacher, starring Alan Ritchson, has been renewed for a 6th season on Prime Video. The series, which began in 2022 and ranks among Amazon’s most-watched productions, is currently filming its 5th season in Toronto. The renewal, which follows the season adapted from Lee Child’s novel Make Me, came after the success of the 4th season.
The 8-episode 4th season, adapted from Lee Child’s novel Gone Tomorrow, premiered on August 12 and concluded on September 16. According to Amazon, the season reached 66 million viewers worldwide in its first 28 days. While Reacher’s total viewership surpassed 200 million, 58% of viewers came from countries outside the US, with the United Kingdom, Germany and Brazil standing out among them.
According to Nielsen data, the series was watched for more than 1 billion minutes in the US for 5 consecutive weeks and ranked first in 4 of those weeks. The 4th season became one of Prime Video’s 5 most-watched original seasons. Expectations have also emerged for a second season of Neagley, starring Maria Sten.
Why it matters
This decision shows that the production is not dependent on the success of a single season and that viewer interest has carried over to new episodes. The high viewership in the 4th season indicates that the series has maintained a strong position not only in the platform’s overall catalog but also in the weekly viewing competition. The fact that a significant share of viewers came from outside the US shows that the series has built a shared following in different countries and that the reach of new seasons is not limited to local audiences. However, this development does not answer when the 5th season will be released or whether the second season of the Neagley-centered production will be officially confirmed.
Background
