This is where the magic happens. If you’re looking for the current adventures of Alan Ritchson as the titular character, then Amazon Prime Video is your undisputed champion.

When is ‘Reacher’ Season 3 Releasing? Where to Watch, Release Date, How

Season 1: The Reacher Begins

The first season dropped, and frankly, it blew us all away. Alan Ritchson stepped into those massive shoes and filled them perfectly. He’s got the physicality, the stoic charm, and that general air of “don't mess with me.”

This season is all about his arrival in the sleepy town of Margrave, Georgia. Of course, nothing is ever that simple with Reacher. A murder mystery quickly unfolds, and he’s the only one who can untangle it.

You can stream the entire first season right now on Prime Video. It’s a fantastic introduction to the character for newcomers and a satisfying return for existing fans.

Season 2: More Mayhem, More Reacher

And then came Season 2! Oh, Season 2. This one is particularly special for fans of the books because it’s based on Lee Child’s ninth novel, Bad Luck and Trouble.

This season sees Reacher back on the road, dealing with a personal tragedy and a conspiracy that threatens his former unit. It’s got action, it’s got suspense, and it’s got Reacher doing what Reacher does best: kicking butt and taking names.

Just like Season 1, Season 2 of Reacher is also streaming exclusively on Amazon Prime Video. So, if you’ve finished Season 1, you know exactly where to head for your next fix.

What About Those Older Movies?

Now, I know what some of you might be thinking. "But what about those other Reacher movies?" Ah, yes. The ones starring the magnificent Tom Cruise.

Let's be honest, they were a different flavour of Reacher. More slick, perhaps? More… Hollywood? It’s an unpopular opinion, I know, but for me, Alan Ritchson just is Reacher. He embodies that towering, imposing presence that feels so integral to the character.

But, if you're a completist or just enjoy a good action flick, you might want to catch up with the Jack Reacher movies. So, where can you find them?

Streaming Options for the Tom Cruise Era

This is where it gets a little trickier. Streaming rights can be a bit of a moving feast in Australia. Currently, you might find the Jack Reacher movies available to rent or buy on platforms like:

Apple TV (formerly iTunes)
Google Play Movies
YouTube Movies

Sometimes, these older films might also pop up on subscription services for a limited time. It's always worth a quick search on your existing streaming apps to see if they're currently included with a subscription, rather than a separate rental fee.

But as a general rule, if you want to watch Tom Cruise as Reacher, be prepared to pay a small fee to rent or purchase them. It’s the price of admission for a different take on the man in question.

The Unpopular Opinion Corner

Okay, I'm going to say it. And I know some of you might disagree, and that's fine. That’s what makes life interesting, right? But the newer Reacher series on Prime Video? It’s just… better.

There’s a rawness to it. A sense of grounded reality that, for me, Reacher embodies. Alan Ritchson's portrayal feels more authentic to the character that so many of us have come to love from the books.

The pacing feels right, the supporting cast is excellent, and the sheer scale of the set pieces just feels epic. It’s everything I want in a Reacher story, delivered straight to my living room.
