Reacher season 4: everything we know so far about the hit Prime Video show's return
Reacher season 4: key information
- Filming has officially begun- Release date currently unknown- Plot will be based on Child's 13th book, Gone Tomorrow- Eight new cast members announced- Official trailer yet to be unveiled- Neagley spin-off wrapped filming in June
Reacher season 4 is officially filming. No surprise given season 4 was officially renewed back in October 2024. But, very welcome news nonetheless. And boy, do we have a lot to talk about.
Finding it's home on Prime Video, one of the best streaming services, Reacher has been a standout hit from the very beginning. And now, three seasons deep, we're excited to hear that one of the best Prime Video shows is gearing up for its big return.
Based on the novels by Lee Child, action-packed thriller follows Jack Reacher, an ex-military police officer, who finds himself continuously embroiled in conspiracies and dangerous missions after being wrongly accused of murder. And with 29 books published (and counting), there's plenty more Reacher action to unleash.
A tumultuous season 3 ending hints at more full throttle fights and government conspiracies, so here's everything we know about Reacher season 4 from a release date, to confirmed cast, plot rumors, trailer and more.
Full spoilers follow for Reacher season 3 and the previous seasons. Plus, spoilers for Reacher season 4 will also appear.
Reacher season 4 release date prediction
There's no Reacher season 4 release date just yet, but we do know that the show was renewed back in October 2024.
Speaking to The Mirror in February, Child said: 'So we're ready to go on season four. Obviously, we can't reveal anything yet, but it's another good'un, I'll tell you. It's going to be great.' He added: 'I'll see you next year and we'll talk about it,' possibly hinting that Reacher season 4 will premiere in 2026.
If we take previous seasons as a guide for season 4, season 1 came out in 2022, season 2 ran from 2023 to 2024, and season 3 in 2025. If Prime Video continues releasing annually, it could well be early 2026.
When Child discussed future seasons of Reacher in an exclusive chat with TechRadar, he revealed filming will commence sooner than you might think: 'It's written and it's ready to go. It's going to start shooting in the summer.'
And it appears the Reacher cast and crew have commenced filming with an official Instagram post from Alan Ritchson posting photos from set as surprise guest Joe Biden as his family dropped by.
Reacher season 4 trailer: is there one?
Given the cast and crew only commenced filming in June, there's no trailer to share. Historically, trailers come out a lot nearer to the release of the show. So, for a Reacher season 4 trailer, we imagine a wait until at least late 2025, early 2026.
Reacher season 4 confirmed cast
Full spoilers follow for Reacher season 3.
Here are the Reacher season 4 cast that have been revealed so far, including main characters and guest stars:
Alan Ritchson as Jack Reacher
Maria Sten as Frances Neagley
Christopher Rodriguez-Marquette as Jacob Merrick
Sydelle Noel as Tamara Green
Agnez Mo as Lila Hoth
Anggun as Amisha Hoth
Kevin Weisman as Russell Plum
Marc Blucas as John Samson
Kevin Corrigan as Detective Docherty
Kathleen Robertson as Elsbeth Samson
Given that the main characters that appears alongside Reacher each season tend to change given he moves onto a whole new story, Neagley has shown up in every season so far. So, I'd expect we'll see her again.
And while Christopher Rodriguez-Marquette has been cast to play Jacob Merrick, that wasn't always the case. Variety reported the casting announcement for the eight new roles on June 13 with Jay Baruchel as Jacob.
On June 26 though, Deadline followed up with news of a recasting as Baruchel was "forced to exit the series to attend to a personal matter".
Reacher season 4 plot details & rumors
Full spoilers follow for Reacher seasons 1 to 3. Potential spoilers also follow for Reacher season 4.
Jack Reacher is a man on a mission, or several missions actually if you take all seasons so far into consideration. Over three seasons so far, he's been repeatedly ensnared in conspiracies that put a lot of lives at risk, including his own.
From false murder accusations to going deep undercover to retrieving a lost DEA agent, following Lee Child's novels has given plenty of plot for the show to follow along with.
And season 3 saw Reacher's feud with villains (new and old), Xavier Quinn and Zachary Beck, come to a head. The finale episode, titled 'Unfinished Business', saw Reacher's team break down a crime syndicate, run by Beck, by infiltrating his base. But, in order to do so, he had to come up against Beck's towering bodyguard, Paulie. And that led to an almighty fight placing brains against brawn.
At the end of it all, he sat down with Neagley and talked about the real reason Reacher gets embroiled in so much trouble, because he hates the "big guy".
While Reacher season 1 was adapted from Killing Floor, Child's debut novel, season 2 from Bad Luck and Trouble, his 11th novel, and season 3 from Persuader, his 7th novel, it's clear they're not going in book order, but they're certainly going from the books.
And Reacher season 4 will follow Child's 13th book, Gone Tomorrow. If you've read the book, you'll know what's coming. But, without giving too much away, the official announcement gives us some insight into what season 4 will be like.
Gone Tomorrow opens on a New York City subway train, which was previously hinted at in Alan Ritchson's Instagram post of the season 4 script laying on a subway seat (featured above) before official confirmation.
And in the Instagram post that confirmed it all, Ritchson included the quote: "The thing about subway cars is you step on one and you never know what's going to happen". And that's exactly what's about to unfold.
In Gone Tomorrow, Reacher has an encounter with a stranger that goes incredibly wrong. Suspecting her to be a suicide bomber, she ends up shooting herself unexpectedly as he approaches.
Afterwards, Reacher wants to find out who she was and why it happened. And, in true Reacher fashion, the truth takes him deeper into government deception and conspiracy than he ever thought possible.
Speaking to The Independent Child supports that the show can jump around the book order, saying he: 'very deliberately wrote the book series so you did not have any prior knowledge". Adding: "I wanted people to be able to pick up any title anywhere and have a really satisfying story, so we can take the same approach.'
Where to watch Reacher
Reacher seasons 1 to 3 can be streamed exclusively on Prime Video. Finished them all and eager for more? Check out these 6 muscular thrillers to watch while you wait.
Will there be more seasons of Reacher?
It's incredibly likely. Reacher season 4 was greenlit months before season 3 came out, and we wouldn't be surprised to hear about season 5 in a similar way. And, of course, there's all the books that Lee Child has written of the Jack Reacher series — currently totalling 29.
But, it's not just Reacher that'll be on the scene. In October 2024, Prime Video announced spin-off series, Neagley, focused on none other than Frances Neagley (Maria Sten).
And in June, as Reacher season 4 filming commenced, Maria Sten posted that filming on Negaley had officially wrapped. She added: "I hope you're ready cause it's gonna be a wild one!"
Of course this isn't confirmation for more of the main Reacher show, but it's certainly the start of a new, no doubt adrenaline-filled, path.

Daniel Radcliffe's ‘disturbing' film with Sabrina Carpenter finally available on streaming
Harry Potter this is not. A decade after quietly slithering into cinemas, Horns – a genre-bending horror-fantasy starring Daniel Radcliffe and a teenage Sabrina Carpenter – is finally getting its due. The film is landing on Pluto TV for free streaming on July 21, giving horror fans and Radcliffe loyalists a chance to revisit one of his strangest, darkest roles. Based on Joe Hill's bestselling 2010 novel (yes, Stephen King's son), Horns follows Ig Perrish (Radcliffe), a young man whose life implodes after his girlfriend Merrin (played by Ted Lasso star Juno Temple) is brutally murdered. Everyone thinks he did it, but Ig's reality becomes even stranger when he wakes up with horns sprouting from his forehead, granting him the sinister ability to compel people to reveal their darkest secrets. Using this terrifying power, Ig sets out to find the real killer while grappling with the town's suspicion and his own grief. Directed by Alexandre Aja (The Hills Have Eyes, Crawl), Horns is a twisted blend of supernatural horror, dark comedy, and psychological thriller, unafraid to push boundaries and lean into its bizarre premise. It explores guilt, vengeance, love, and transformation with a darkly humorous edge, making it stand out in a landscape often dominated by formulaic horror. Sabrina Carpenter, who was just 15 during filming, plays the young Merrin in flashbacks, years before she would top charts and sell out stadium tours. The cast also includes The Handmaid's Tale's Max Minghella as Lee Tourneau, Ig's childhood friend whose secrets add further layers to the film's mystery. At its 2014 release, Horns received a mixed reception, with critics unsure how to handle its shifts in tone and genre. But over the years, the film has gained a cult following for its originality, gothic visuals, and Radcliffe's fearless performance as a man teetering between heartbreak and hellish fury. Fans on IMDb have praised the film's unusual concept, calling it 'an underdog movie that combines horror, fantasy, drama and psychological suspense.' On X, one viewer wrote, 'So many regrets not watching Horns earlier. Daniel Radcliffe you twisted mother!!' i just found out this was daniel radcliffe with sabrina carpenter😭 — jude⸆⸉ (@karmaissebby) May 11, 2024 Radcliffe's post-Potter career has often veered into the eccentric, from Swiss Army Man to Guns Akimbo, but Horns remains one of his boldest swings, showcasing his commitment to playing characters who are both tormented and darkly funny. The film also captures Carpenter at the start of her career, years before her current pop star superstardom, adding another layer of intrigue for her fans. In an era of safe remakes and jump-scare-heavy horror, Horns offers something different: a story about grief and rage dressed in supernatural horror, wrapped with dark humour and led by a committed Radcliffe who grows literal horns as his world collapses around him. Whether you're in the mood for a cult horror you missed, a dose of dark fantasy, or a reminder of Radcliffe's willingness to take risks, Horns delivers. It is a film that leaves an impression – sometimes shocking, sometimes emotional, always strange. With its arrival on Pluto TV, Horns is ready to haunt a new generation, proving that even a decade later, its twisted tale of love, loss, and the monstrous truths we hide is worth the watch.

Cause confirmed in death of Caitlyn Jenner friend Sophia Hutchins
The cause of death has been revealed for Sophia Hutchins, Caitlyn Jenner's manager and close friend, who was killed in an ATV accident near the Olympian's Malibu, California, home earlier this month. The 29-year-old Lumasol sunscreen founder died July 2, due to 'multiple blunt force injuries,' according to the County of Los Angeles Medical Examiner's online records. Her manner of death, which occurred on a cliff, was ruled accidental. At the time of publication, the Medical Examiner has listed the case status as 'open.' Hutchins, who appeared in 75-year-old Jenner's series 'I Am Cait,' was driving on a 'narrow canyon road' when The Malibu Times says Hutch hit the bumper of a moving car, whose driver and passenger were not injured. Hutchins' ATV was catapulted over the cliff and into a ravine roughly 350 feet below. TMZ previously reported that the crash took place on the road where Jenner lives. Hutchins in 2021 doubled down that she and Jenner, who she looked up to during her own transition, shared a truly 'familial' dynamic. 'Caitlyn is a parent to me,' she told People at the time. 'I have said that a million times. It is a parental, familial relationship. I feel so blessed and humbled to be part of such an amazing family and that she treats me like a daughter. … There's no hanky panky.'
