WITH PARAMOUNT LOCK has closed its TV division as part of a restructuring plan, Reachers –which the studio produces for Prime Video – are concerned about the fate of the action-mystery series about a tramp/army veteran/crime solver.

Gripper is co-produced by Paramount, Amazon, and Skydance; now that Paramount TV is shutting down, fans aren’t sure what the future of the show will hold.

That means: Season 3 of Gripper has already been ordered. While the aftereffects of the closure of Paramount’s television division will certainly be felt, they probably won’t be felt anytime soon, and even if they were, it would not affect the status of a show as popular as gripper, which has become one of Prime Video’s flagship programs.

Gripper premiered in 2022 and stars Alan Ritchson as Jack Reacher (a role originally from Lee Child’s book series and later played by Tom Cruise in two live-action films). Other cast members included Willa Fitzgerald, Robert Patrick, and Kristin Kreuk. The series has been very successful since its debut, gaining more and more viewers, and Season 2 became one of the streamer’s most-watched series to date.

The fact that Gripper has amassed such a passionate and devoted fan base that it’s hard to believe that any behind-the-scenes issues – including the closure of Paramount TV – could stand in the way of the great detective’s return.

Will the shutdown of Paramount TV affect season 3 of Gripper?

Production of the third season of Gripper is already underway, as Ritchson has posted some BTS pictures and workouts he used to prepare for an upcoming episode. The season is based on the seventh book of the Gripper Series, called Persuader. The series has also announced that it will feature a new villain, Paulie, played by Olivier Richters – a rare actor who is even bigger than Ritchson himself. Season 3 is expected to premiere on Amazon Prime Video in early 2025.
