Ritchson shared it first on his social channels, including Instagram where he posted, “Trouble has a way of finding him.” A new batch of episodes will debut on the streamer on Feb. 20, with the eight-episode season rolling out weekly beginning with the first three that day, followed by subsequent episodes every Thursday through March 27 in more than 240 countries and territories worldwide.
In the third season, based on Lee Child’s novel Persuader, Reacher is thrust into a criminal enterprise in an attempt to rescue an undercover DEA informant whose time is running out. There, he finds himself in a world of mystery and violence, while confronting unfinished business from his own past.
Like the teaser, the trailer centers on Ritchson in classic Reacher form and all his muscular glory as he teams up with an investigation into the owner of a carpet importing company called Bizarre Bazaar. Reacher dives deep into an undercover gang by landing a job within the operation, though the stakes are high as he’s seen ducking away from gunfire, explosions, and no shortage of bad guys.
“Exactly how much danger is this job putting me in?” he asks as a tagline pumps out, “Trouble doesn’t get any bigger” all to the tune of “Carry on My Wayward Son” by the band Kansas. It seems that he’s met a formidable opponent this season in a man named Paulie, aka Paul Masserella, who is a gate guard at a luxury waterfront estate.
Ritchson and Maria Sten, who reprises her role as Frances Neagley, star opposite new cast members including Anthony Michael Hall, Sonya Cassidy, Brian Tee, Johnny Berchtold, Robert Montesinos, Daniel David Stewart and Olivier Richters.
The series is written by Emmy-nominated writer Nick Santora, who will executive produce and serve as showrunner. Amazon announced in October last year that the action-packed series had been renewed early for a fourth season, set to begin filming in 2025.
