# The Jobs Behind a Reacher Season (BotBuhdy fan research)

> Unofficial fan research listing 275 film-crew and production roles that a season of a big streaming action series like Reacher can involve: what each job does, who it reports to, the Ontario union or guild, published union minimums, official occupation career data, AI and robotics exposure bands, and a scale-scenario season cost estimate built from public sources.

Disclaimer: This is unofficial fan research. It is not affiliated with, endorsed by or sponsored by Amazon, Amazon MGM Studios, Prime Video, Skydance or the Reacher production. All figures are hypothetical estimates built from public sources and published union minimums. They are not the real budget of any show, and real pay is often higher. The AI and robotics exposure bands describe whole occupations (mostly US data, across all industries), not film crews, and are not predictions about any individual person.

## Key facts
- 275 roles in 40 departments across 5 phases: development, build/prep, shoot, post, strike/restoration
- Scale scenario for 8 episodes: about C$92.58M gross (US$65.45M) and C$71.11M net of the Ontario and federal production-services tax credits (US$50.27M), at 1 USD = 1.4145 CAD. Estimates only.
- Producer, showrunner and book-rights fees are not public and are not included. Real star deals are private and higher, so the true total is above this. This is not the real budget.
- AI band: the published AI Occupational Exposure score (Felten, Raj and Seamans), split into thirds across 774 US occupations. Robotics band: a rougher O*NET-based proxy. Exposure is not replacement.
- Career data (Canada NOC, Job Bank, COPS; US O*NET, BLS) describe whole occupations across all industries, not just film.
- Sources were checked on 26 September 2026 and are listed on the page.
