Reacher Season 3 Episode 5: Release date news, streaming details, what to expect and more

Reacher Season 3 Episode 4 will air anytime now, and fans cannot wait to see what more twists are in store. The third episode ended on a thrilling note, with Reacher faking an ambush on him and Chapman Duke while Zachary was waiting outside the set-up house in Hartford.

We also learnt that with the death of Duke, Reacher is now Zachary's new number two - not to mention how he outsmarted everyone to make it look like Angel Dole was involved with the dealers who abducted Zachary's son, Richard Beck.

With all that in mind, speculation is at its peak, and fans are now eagerly looking at their watches as Reacher Season 3 Episode 4 gears up for a premiere today.

Following a routine Thursday release, Reacher Season 3 Episode 5 will reach Prime Video on March 6, and the name of the chapter will be 'Smackdown.' Now that Reacher is already in Zachary's mysterious business and the name Julius McCabe has been revealed, the upcoming episodes will supposedly explore how the titular character catches the evil men.

What to expect from Reacher Season 3 Episode 5?

As seen earlier, Reacher and his federal friends are already deep in an undercover mission to blow open Zachary Beck's operations. The involvement of one of Reacher's old enemies, Quinn, has made the tension rise even higher.

Post Episode 3 (Number 2 With A Bullet), we have learnt that Julis McCabe is a prominent name in the new chapter and is definitely calling the shots, and he is way above Zachary in terms of the pay scale.

After eliminating two of Zachary Beck's close associates Angel Dole and Chapman Duke, Reacher has now reached the core of the infamous rug merchandise operations. Episode 4 will supposedly see Reacher having a face-off with Julius, who is reportedly at the heart of everything if speculations are anything to go by.

So, Episode 5 might be a climactic point in the storyline where Reacher operates from the inside and passes on information to Susan Duffy and her associates. On the other hand, his friends from the outside try to gather forces to break open a long chain of a nasty business - which at this point can either be drugs or guns or maybe something even more dangerous.

Also, from an exclusive clip from Reacher's official Instagram handle, we witness a tense sequence as the titular character waits inside a car with Dominique Kohl (an officer who worked with Reacher back in the day). The duo keep a watch on a potential pick-up that will go down, but something seems fishy. The footage ends with a savage line by Reacher after Dominique asks what to do if there is a sniper waiting for them:

"One of us would find out when the other one's head explodes."
