Jay Baruchel drops out of 'Reacher' season 4, role recast with 'Barry' alum Christopher Rodriguez-Marquette
Entertainment Weekly can confirm that Jay Baruchel dropped out of the upcoming season 4, and Barry alum Christopher Rodriguez-Marquette has been recast in the role.
The news comes only two weeks after the This Is the End star's casting was announced along with the rest of the new season 4 roles (the only confirmed returning actor is series lead Alan Ritchson). According to Deadline, Baruchel was "forced to exit the series to attend to a personal matter."
Rodriguez-Marquette will now play the major role of Jacob Merrick, a small-town policeman ripped directly from the pages of Lee Child's 13th book in his Jack Reacher series, Gone Tomorrow, upon which the new season is based. Jacob becomes Jack Reacher's (Ritchson) No. 1 ally in his new mission.
Gone Tomorrow kicks off when Reacher witnesses a suicide on the subway in New York. He soon discovers the woman who killed herself was Pentagon staffer Susan Mark, who was caught up in a larger conspiracy involving a corrupt politician, Al Qaeda terrorists, and countless murders. Reacher must work against the clock with Susan's brother Jacob to solve the mystery of why Susan killed herself, find her missing son Peter, and ultimately save his own life when he gets caught up with dark forces with almost unlimited power.
Rodriguez-Marquette joins the previously announced season 4 cast additions including GLOW alum Sydelle Noel, My Life With the Walter Boys star Marc Blucas, Alias alum Kevin Weisman, Indonesian singers Agnez Mo and Anggun, The Expanse alum Kathleen Robertson, and Poker Face's Kevin Corrigan.Best known for his recurring role on HBO's Barry, Rodriguez-Marquette's other TV appearances include Mozart in the Jungle, Joan of Arcadia, Even Stevens, Weeds, Lucifer, and Beverly Hills, 90210, among others. He has also been in films including I Hate the Man in My Basement, Chokeslam, Broken Horses, and Fear, Inc.
A premiere date for Reacher season 4 has not yet been announced.

Jennifer Aniston teases ‘emotional' season four of The Morning Show
Jennifer Aniston has revealed the plot of the forthcoming fourth season of The Morning Show will be 'complicated'. The 56-year-old stars in the Apple TV+ drama, which follows a fictional breakfast show in the aftermath of a prominent news anchor being hit with a series of allegations, alongside Reese Witherspoon, Billy Crudup and Julianna Margulies. Aniston – who plays the TV anchor Alex Levy on the show alongside executive producing the series with co-star Witherspoon – told People that The Morning Show 'is just a beast to film'. 'It is layered, it's complicated, it's emotional, it hits on a lot of topics and current events, so let's just say, it's not Friends,' she added, referencing the Nineties show in which she played Rachel Green from 1994 to 2004. She continued: 'We're involved in every single aspect of the show, on top of just the performance side, which is a big piece of it. But I've got incredible support, and we have such an incredible team.' Season four of The Morning Show finished shooting in December last year, according to a post from Witherspoon's media company, Hello Sunshine. 'And that's a wrap on Season 4 of #TheMorningShow!' it read. 'Thank you to our incredible cast and crew for bringing this season to life. We can't wait for you all to see what's in store on @AppleTV!' Season three of The Morning show saw a romance begin between Aniston's Alex and the space tech billionaire Paul Marks, played by Jon Hamm. Elsewhere, Witherspoon's Bradley attempted to salvage her reputation as a journalist after she chose not to reveal video evidence of her brother taking part in the insurrection at the US Capitol. Speaking to Deadline, showrunner Charlotte Stoudt said the next season of the show would explore deepfakes and artificial intelligence. 'We blew everything up last year with the biggest bomb we could possibly build,' she said. 'So, we have to ask ourselves how is the band going to get back together, and what will that look like? 'We get into the world of deepfakes and AI and the misinformation in the fog of war that we're seeing now in the Middle East and stuff. 'We're looking at who can trust. And can you trust what you're seeing? Can you trust yourself? Can you trust your news outlet?' The Morning Show returns for season four on Wednesday, 17 September on Apple TV+
