The third season of hit action series Reacher is now streaming on Prime Video. Alan Ritchson is back in the titular role as a military-trained drifter traveling the country, out to make the world a little better by solving one crime at a time.
Based on Lee Child’s Jack Reacher series, the show adapts one book per season, following Reacher as he finds himself wrapped up in a new crime or conspiracy to solve. Season 3, an adaptation from showrunner Nick Santora of the seventh novel, Persuader, finds Reacher tossed into a criminal conspiracy wherein he must help rescue an undercover DEA informant and confront his own past.
All three seasons of Reacher can also be streamed exclusively on Prime Video in more than 240 countries and territories around the world.
Here’s who’s who in the cast:
Alan Ritchson (Reacher)

After leading an elite investigations unit during his military tenure, Reacher now roams the U.S. from city to city, usually traveling by bus and living off his monthly Army stipend with only the bare essentials.
In the books, the character of Jack Reacher is an imposing figure, and Ritchson looks the part. The 6′3″, 240-pound actor fully embodies the role, be it by body-slamming assassins or setting off a car’s airbags with nothing more than a well-placed kick.
Before landing the role of Reacher, Ritchson showed off his versatility with roles in The Hunger Games: Catching Fire, the football comedy Blue Mountain State, the gritty superhero drama Titans, and the sci-fi grindhouse thriller Blood Drive. (In fact, you can check out an actor’s filmography via Prime Video’s interactive X-Ray feature, which you can conveniently access right in the app.)
Maria Sten (Frances Neagley)

Her character had previously served in the Army with Reacher on his 110th Special Investigations Unit, and now is a brilliant tracker working as a private investigator. Neagley is a confidante of Reacher’s whom he will call when he needs help, and arguably knows him better than anyone.
Along with her role in Reacher, Sten has had a genre-friendly career, with roles in the horror series Channel Zero and the science-fiction series Swamp Thing.
Anthony Michael Hall (Zachary Beck)

Hall starred in beloved 1980s comedies like The Breakfast Club and Weird Science, and has had a lengthy career, including roles in The Dead Zone, Halloween Kills, among dozens of other credits. Hall also appeared in the Amazon Original series Bosch: Legacy, whose third season premiered in March.

Olivier Richters (Paulie)

The 7′2″ Richters, known as “The Dutch Giant” in his bodybuilding days, has signed on for the role of Paulie, a bodyguard who served in the U.S. Army working for Zachary Beck.
Outside of his bodybuilding career, Richters has also popped up in action films including Black Widow and The King’s Man.

Daniel David Stewart (Steven Elliot)
