Reacher Season 3’s finale, “Unfinished Business,” aired today, March 27, 2025, wrapping Alan Ritchson’s Persuader arc on Prime Video. With Season 4 confirmed and filming set for summer 2025 (TechRadar), the ending offers clues about Reacher’s future. Here’s the Reacher Season 3 finale explained and its Season 4 implications.
Reacher season 3 finale: the breakdown
In “Unfinished Business” (54 minutes, per IMDb), Reacher topples Zachary Beck’s (Anthony Michael Hall) drug empire and kills Quinn, avenging Dominique Kohl’s death. The climax—Reacher outsmarting Paulie (Olivier Richters) in a brutal showdown—caps a 98% Rotten Tomatoes season. He saves DEA informant Teresa, parts with Neagley (Maria Sten), and walks off, saying, “I’ll keep moving.”
What it means for season 4: a solo shift
Reacher’s exit screams drifter mode, aligning with Lee Child’s The Midnight Line pitch (Forbes). Season 4 might ditch Season 3’s team (Duffy, Neagley) for a lone quest—tracking a ring in Wyoming. X fans (@CultureCrave) note this “resets Reacher’s vibe,” promising a 2026 release with less chaos, more soul.
Neagley’s arc and season 4 potential
Neagley’s farewell—“Call if you need me”—ties to her spinoff (Variety). Season 3’s focus on their bond could mean a Season 4 cameo, pulling Reacher into her PI world. No loose ends from Persuader linger, but her Chicago nod opens doors.
Why this finale shapes season 4
Season 3’s 54.6 million viewers (Variety) and today’s closure set Season 4 up for a fresh start. Reacher’s vengeance is done—now what drives him? A slower, personal tale awaits. What’s your take on his next move?
