Prime Video's popular action series "Reacher" is set to return for its third season on February 20. Alan Ritchson stars as Jack Reacher, a former military investigator who travels the country solving crimes. Season 3 will see Reacher go undercover to investigate a smuggling ring that threatens a DEA informant.

The show is based on Lee Child's Jack Reacher book series, which follows the protagonist as he delivers justice across the nation. The upcoming season adapts the seventh book in the series, "Persuader." A new Jack Reacher novel titled "Exit Strategy" is expected to be released later this year.

Alan Ritchson returns as Jack Reacher with Maria Sten playing Frances Neagley, one of his closest allies from his Army days. New cast members include Anthony Michael Hall as Zachary Beck, Sonya Cassidy as DEA agent Susan Duffy, and Brian Tee as a former soldier connected to Reacher.

Season 1 was based on "Killing Floor," where Reacher was falsely accused of murder in Margrave, Georgia. He teamed up with local officers Roscoe Conklin and Oscar Finlay to uncover corruption in the town. Season 2 followed "Bad Luck and Trouble," focusing on threats against Reacher's former Army team.

In Season 3, adapted from "Persuader," Reacher becomes involved in a DEA investigation into Zachary Beck's import business after discovering connections to someone from his past military investigations. The DEA enlists him to go undercover and rescue an informant while dismantling Beck's operations.

Reacher is among many original shows available on Prime Video.
