The phrase describes the anticipation surrounding the arrival of new content on the Netflix streaming platform intended to fill the void left by the conclusion of, or extended absence of, the popular series Reacher. This expectation reflects viewers’ desire for similar action-oriented programming after the show’s successful run. For example, following the end of Reacher‘s first season, discussions began regarding which upcoming or existing Netflix shows might serve as a comparable viewing experience.
The significance of providing options that evoke a similar viewing experience lies in retaining audience engagement and satisfying demand for a particular genre. Reacher‘s popularity highlighted the desire for well-produced action series with compelling characters and storylines. The ability to offer alternatives ensures viewer satisfaction and loyalty to the streaming service. The need for replacement content has existed ever since television networks began aiming for audience retention.
