Prime Video has renewed its hit series Reacher for a fifth season ahead of its Season 4 premiere. The streamer touts the show’s “continued success and global appeal of the action-packed drama” as the reason for the early renewal.
The series adaptation of Lee Child’s bestselling Jack Reacher novels follows Reacher (Alan Ritchson), a drifter carrying no phone and the barest of essentials as he travels the country and explores the nation he once served. When Reacher arrives in the small town of Margrave, GA, he finds a community grappling with its first homicide in 20 years. The cops immediately arrest him, and eyewitnesses claim to have placed Reacher at the scene of the crime. While he works to prove his innocence, a conspiracy begins to emerge, one that will require Reacher’s keen mind and hard-hitting fists to deal with.
Season 4 will be based on the 13th book in Child’s book series, Gone Tomorrow. When a chance encounter with a distraught stranger on a subway goes horribly wrong, Jack Reacher is drawn into a complex and deadly game that pits him against ruthless foes from the highest echelons of power.
New to the cast for Season 4 are Chris Marquette, Sydelle Noel, AGNEZ MO, Anggun, Kevin Weisman, Marc Blucas, Kevin Corrigan, and Kathleen Roberston.
Production wrapped on the new season in March.
“From Lee Child’s globally beloved novels to its standout on-screen adaptation, Reacher has evolved into a true powerhouse franchise,” shared Peter Friedlander, Head of Global Television, Amazon MGM Studios. “The series’ ability to combine high-octane action with compelling character storytelling continues to resonate with tens of millions of viewers around the world. We’re excited to move forward with a fifth season ahead of Season Four’s debut and to build on this incredible momentum.”
Reacher is produced by Paramount Television Studios and Amazon MGM Studios. The series is written for television by Nick Santora, who also executive produces and serves as showrunner. In addition to Santora and Child, Ritchson also serves as an executive producer, alongside Don Granger, Scott Sullivan, Mick Betancourt, Lisa Kussner, Sam Hill, Amy Pocha, and Seth Cohen. Carolyn Harris and Kenny Madrid are the executives-in-charge of the series for Paramount Television Studios.
