It seems that action programming could soon become a dominant identity for Amazon’s streaming service, given the current popularity of no fewer than four distinct action series that are dominating the charts on the platform. Interestingly enough, Amazon’s breakout hit Reacher isn’t among those shows!
The action series The Terminal List and its new prequels, Dark Wolf, Butterfly, and Countdown, have made their way into Prime Video’s top 10 most-watched shows in the US. Within five days of release, Dark Wolf took the No. 1 spot. After over two weeks on the platform, Butterfly climbed to No. 3. Countdown followed closely behind at No. 4 after a month of streaming.

At present, Season 4 of the show Reacher is being made, drawing inspiration from Jack Reacher creator Lee Child’s novel “Gone Tomorrow”. In this installment, Reacher finds himself in New York City where he unwittingly interacts with a shady woman who tragically commits suicide on a bustling subway. As Reacher delves deeper into the matter, he uncovers her connections to the government and an extensive conspiracy that he can’t resist unraveling.
Besides the fourth season of Reacher, there is also a new series in development that focuses on Reacher’s companion and ally, Frances Neagley, portrayed by Maria Sten. This spinoff follows her story as she works as a freelance corporate security agent.
