Ritchson was spotted just days ago in the stands at an actual Cubs game, filming a scene with Sten for the Chicago-based Neagley spinoff. Sten co-starred as Neagley in the first three seasons of Reacher, after which she was tapped to headline her own series.
As TVLine's Inside Line column recently told you, once Neagley's freshman season has wrapped filming, the cameras will get rolling on Reacher Season 4 (since the shows share much of the same crew).
Reacher Season 4 was greenlit way back in October, well ahead of the well-reviewed third season's February premiere. Little has been revealed yet about the supporting cast or which Lee Child novel is being adapted this go-round, but Ritchson in a Wednesday Instagram post shared a photo of him with the Reacher stunt team, saying, 'Season 4 is going to be the most intensely physical season yet. My body is ready.'
Filming for Season 4 'is right around the corner,' Ritchson suggested, 'and dare I say… May be the best season yet?'

Based on Child's Jack Reacher novels, Season 1 of the Prime Video series adapted Killing Floor, Child's 1997 debut novel/first Jack Reacher tale, in which the titular man mountain found a Georgia community grappling with its first homicide in 20 years — which got pinned on the new drifter in town (aka Reacher).
Season 2 was based on Bad Luck and Trouble, the 11th of Child's Jack Reacher novels, and followed the veteran military police investigator as he reunited with members of his old U.S. Army unit in the wake of the brutal murder of one of their own.
Season 3 was based on the seventh book in Child's best-selling series, Persuader, in which Reacher went undercover to rescue an informant held by a foe from his past.
There is no word yet on which of Child's novels Reacher Season 4 will adapt.
