Reacher has just smashed a key milestone in the Prime Video action thriller series' streaming domination, and it perfectly sets up the future of the Alan Ritchson series. Prime Video's slate of TV shows features many hits, including the recent return of The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power, but few have managed to rise as high as Reacher has, given how the action series has not only found the secret to longevity, but has also started its own universe. After all, the first Reacher spin-off series, Neagley, was released on Prime Video in September, and it was a hit.
Both Reacher and Neagley already have their future set on the streamer, with the Ritchson-led series confirmed to return for another two seasons at least, as Reacher seasons 5 and 6 have already been announced, while the Maria Sten Neagley show will be back for season 2. 2026 has been a good year for Ritchson both in and out of his action thriller, as the actor also led Netflix's War Machine, a sci-fi thriller movie that ended up becoming one of the biggest Netflix movies of all time. Now, Ritchson hits another streaming milestone, but with his most famous role.
Reacher Just Punched His Way Through A Major Streaming Milestone
Reacher has surpassed the impressive mark of trending for 90 days on Prime Video's Top 10 TV Shows chart in the United States, according to data from FlixPatrol. Right now, the show's streak is at 92 days, showing just how powerful its hold on the streamer's audience is, given how the season 4 finale aired all the way back on September 16, almost two full months ago. Nevertheless, the action TV show continues to bring in the big numbers on Prime Video's charts. At the time of writing, Off Campus is the only show on the chart with a longer streak.
The romance series that adapts a bestselling book franchise has been trending on the streaming service for a whopping 183 days. Alongside the Ritchson series is the Neagley spin-off, which is almost hitting another impressive mark on the chart, as the action series is at 57 days, nearly two months on the chart. In terms of positions, Reacher is holding on to the Prime Video list, currently being the 7th most-watched TV show on the streaming service nationwide. Neagley stands one step above it, at 6th, while the new #1 TV show on Prime Video is The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power.
What We Know About Season 5
At the time of writing, Reacher season 5's release date had yet to be confirmed, though following the show's release schedule, the Prime Video action thriller series' new episodes are expected to arrive at some point in 2027. The next season of the Ritchson-led series will be based on the Lee Child book "Make Me," which stands as the 20th novel in the bestselling Jack Reacher franchise, following the drifter as he searches for a missing private investigator and unravels a criminal network. Kevin Durand, Ciara Bravo, Jay Baruchel, Amanda Ip, and more will join Alan Ritchson in Reacher season 5.
