From the cast to which Lee Child's book the series will follow next, here's what we know so far about 'Reacher' season 4

Reacherisn't going anywhere.

Prime Video renewed the popular crime drama for a fourth season in October 2024 — an entire three months before the season 3 premiere, per The Hollywood Reporter.  

"Windows everywhere beware," star Alan Ritchson captioned an Instagram post alongside a photo of his character smashing a car window. "Reacher Season 4 is official. What are you gonna give me if I spill the beans on the book?"

Based on Lee Child's Jack Reacher novel series, the show stars Ritchson as the infamous ex-military police officer and drifter who uses his combat skills (and intimidating stature) to take down dangerous criminals. The show debuted in 2022 and quickly became one of the Amazon-owned streamer's most popular series. Its second season was one of the most-viewed releases on the platform in 2023, per Deadline.

Season 3 of the show was based on Child's 2003 book, Persuader, and it's not yet clear which of the 29 titles the fourth season will follow. However, Ritchson told Men's Journalthat the show has yet to do his personal favorite from 1998, Die Trying. 

"I would love to see that happen," the Blue Mountain State actor said in March 2025. "And so far, there's been a lot of discussion about whether or not we should or should not. I guess we'll see what the future holds. I'll find a way."

Here's everything we know so far about season 4 of Reacher. 

Will there be a season 4 of Reacher?

Yes, there will be a season 4 of Reacher. In 2024, Prime Video announced that it had picked up the series for a fourth season ahead of its season 3 premiere in 2025. 

"Reacher has become a phenomenon that continues to resonate with our global customers beyond our wildest expectations and we are thrilled to bring the series back for an additional season," said Vernon Sanders, head of television at Amazon MGM Studios, per THR. 

He continued, "We are looking forward to more action and adventure from the immensely talented team behind the series including [showrunner] Nick Santora, Alan Ritchson, Lee Child, Skydance, and CBS Studios." 

When will Reacher season 4 come out?

An official release date for Reacher's fourth season hasn't been announced. However, Child, who also serves as an executive producer on the show, confirmed to TechRadar in February 2025 that the series was already in pre-production.

"It's written and it's ready to go," the author said. "It's going to start shooting in the summer. The speculation of what next would really be about season five. And, you know, let's hope that happens."

Season 4 will come after Reacher went undercover for the Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) during the entirety of season 3. In the finale episode, he avenges the death of his former colleague, Dominique Koh (Mariah Robinson) by killing arms dealer Xavier Quinn (Brian Tee).

Who is returning for Reacher season 4?

Ritchson is the only confirmed cast member to return for season 4 of Reacher. He'll reprise his role as the titular character, but it's not clear if any other fan favorites from past seasons will make an appearance. 

Because Reacher drifts from city to city, each season typically comes with a whole new cast of characters. The only other recurring role is Frances Neagley (Maria Sten), one of Reacher's old friends and a private investigator who has appeared in all three seasons. 

Varietyreported in October 2024 that Prime Video had greenlit a Neagley-focused spinoff series with Sten reprising her role. However, the actress told Men's Journal that she would return to Reacher in the future — especially if they adapted Child's 2002 book Without Fail. 

"I would really love Neagley to pop back on Reacher to do that one," the Channel Zero actress said. 

Where can I watch Reacher?

All three seasons of Reacher are available on Prime Video. Season 4 will stream on the same platform.
