The impact of Reacher is best illustrated by its streaming statistics. The second season, which debuted toward the end of 2023, achieved astonishing figures despite having only three episodes available at launch—roughly half the episodes of the first season. The premiere episodes amassed an incredible 1.69 billion minutes of watch time, surpassing the 1.9 billion minutes accumulated by the full eight-episode first season. These numbers highlight the show’s widespread appeal and the audience’s strong desire for engaging, traditional storytelling.
