Reacher Fans Worry About Show's Future After Paramount Television Closes

As a long-time fan of gripping action dramas and a devoted follower of Jack Reacher’s adventures since the Lee Child novels graced my bookshelves, I must confess that the news about Paramount Television Studios shutting down has left me with a bittersweet feeling. On one hand, I am thrilled to hear that Reacher will be returning for a third season in 2025, but on the other, I can’t help but worry about how this restructuring might affect our beloved series.


After Paramount’s unexpected decision to close down Paramount Television Studios (PTVS), many fans are left pondering and fretting about the potential implications for their beloved shows. This move is part of a broader restructuring strategy by Paramount Global, which regrettably involves significant layoffs (as reported by Deadline). Shows such as Time Bandits, The Spiderwick Chronicles, the upcoming Cross, and particularly Reacher could potentially be affected.

As a devoted cinephile, I can’t help but express my excitement about Alan Ritchson stepping into the role of the rugged nomad avenger, Reacher – a character once a U.S. Army military police officer turned drifter. This intriguing series is a joint production between Paramount, Amazon, and Skydance, leaving many fans speculating about how these significant behind-the-scenes alterations might influence the show’s trajectory.

I’m thrilled to share some good news for fellow Reacher fans! Since its premiere in 2022, our beloved series has been a smashing hit, claiming the top spot on Amazon Prime Video for 2023. Given this success, it seems that the show will continue to be a priority as it gets merged with CBS Studios’ portfolio. Yet, it’s essential to note that things might shift backstage, which could influence the creative direction and release schedules of future seasons. So let’s keep our fingers crossed for more exciting episodes in the future!

Reacher Will Return for a Third Season in 2025

In the premiere of the TV series ‘Reacher’, Alan Ritchson assumes the role of the main character, a former U.S. Army Military Police Major who goes by the name Reacher and lives as a wanderer. However, his peaceful life takes an unexpected turn when he is taken into custody for murder. This gripping drama is adapted from the novels written by Lee Child. The second season debuted last year (and concluded earlier this year) with Reacher embarking on another adventure, as members of his former military unit mysteriously meet their end.

Work is currently being done on the third installment of this series, and it has been disclosed that the next Jack Reacher story will be adapted from the seventh book in the collection titled “Persuader.” In this novel, the protagonist finds himself deep undercover to save a valuable informant who is being held captive by an ominous adversary from his past.

In the upcoming third season of the series, Alan Ritchson will once again take the lead role. The new season is expected to introduce several fascinating new characters, including formidable villains that will match Reacher’s size and power. One such antagonist, Paulie, has been announced to be portrayed by Olivier Richters, famously known as “The Dutch Giant,” who is recognized for his roles in Black Widow and Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny. This casting choice promises intense action as these two formidable figures engage in epic battles.
