‘Reacher' Star Alan Ritchson Films ‘Neagley' Cameo And Teases Season 4
Alan Ritchson has been spotted filming a cameo for the Reacher spinoff series Neagley with Maria Sten and is teasing Reacher Season 4. Reacher, of course, is the massively popular Prime Video series based on author Lee Child's Jack Reacher book series. Season 1 of Reacher debuted on the streaming platform in 2022, followed by Season 2 in 2023 and Season 3 in 2025. One of Ritchson's co-stars who appeared in a recurring role throughout all three seasons is Sten, who plays his fellow Army Military Police investigator Frances Neagley. In October of 2024, Prime Video gave the green light to Neagley, which naturally begged the question of whether Ritchson would appear in Sten's series. In a Zoom conversation prior to the release of Reacher Season 3 in February, Ritchson and Sten playfully teased the possibility. 'That would make sense, but we cannot confirm that it would make sense,' Ritchson said. 'It just makes sense in a of hypotheticals," while Sten added, 'Yes, we can neither confirm or deny such rumors.' 'Like if he popped in for a couple of episodes,' Ritchson continued 'But it could happen.' 'It could happen,' Sten added. 'But who knows?' Now, Ritchson's appearance in Neagley has been confirmed. In a post by Marquee Sports on X on Saturday, Ritchson and Sten were pictured filming a scene for Neagley at Wrigley Field in Chicago. To prove that Ritchson wasn't Chicago — where Neagley is set — to merely catch a game with Sten, a post by X user Erik House includes a photo with a camera operator filming a scene. Another post by X user Al Yellon shows that Ritchson and Sten weren't actually filming during an actual Chicago Cubs game, but were in the stands with loads of extras in a section of an otherwise empty Wrigley Field. Alan Ritchson personally chronicled his Chicago visit with an Instagram post on Wednesday, where he is pictured in photos on the set of Neagley with Maria Sten, Lee Child and various cast and crew members from the Reacher spinoff series. Of his visit with the Jack Reacher book author, Ritchson wrote in the Instagram post, 'Reacher himself, Lee Child. I wish everyone had the good fortune of being best friends for life with this man like we are, because we are best friends and he is adopting me officially soon I think.' Also included in Ritchson's Instagram post are photos of Ritchson doing prep work in advance of Reacher Season 4. 'Back into stunts with Buster, Eric and team. Season 4 is going to be the most intensely physical season yet. My body is ready,' Ritchson wrote in the Instagram post. In another photo, Ritchson, who is pictured by wardrobe, writes, '[It's] Ritchson concluded the post by writing, 'Season 4 is right around the corner and dare I say … May be the best season yet?' Neagley, of course, will arrive on Prime Video before Reacher Season 4, although the streamer has yet to announce an official release date. The official logline for Neagley reads, 'Frances Neagley is a private investigator in Chicago. When she learns that a beloved friend from her past has been killed in a suspicious accident, she becomes hell-bent on justice. "Using everything she's learned from Jack Reacher and her time as a member of the 110 Special Investigators, Neagley puts herself on a dangerous path to uncover a menacing evil.' Neagley also stars Greyston Holt, Jasper Jones, Adeline Rudolph, Matthew Del Negro and Damon Herriman. The first three seasons of Reacher are available on Prime Video.

A Disappointing Update About ‘Reacher' Season 4's Release Date
Reacher Amazon Prime Alan Ritchson made news a few days ago when he was seen at a Cubs game next to his Reacher co-star, Maria Sten, aka Neagley. The two were not just taking in a casual game, they were filming a show. But not the show you're thinking about, but rather Sten's Reacher spin-off show, Neagley. The fans in the shot were all actors as well, you're not going to be able to control random Cubs fans and you'd have to get all of them to sign releases. The fact that this is Neagley being shot, not Reacher season 4, creates an exhausting update for its upcoming release date. Reacher has not even started filming yet, and Ritchson says they're just starting stunts and picking out his wardrobe (usually one outfit he wears all season). If Reacher isn't filming yet and season 3 ended a little while back, where does that leave Reacher season 4's potential release date. If we're being generous, let's say Reacher season 4 starts filming July 1. With that, we can extrapolate out the past few seasons' timelines. Here are the release dates. Reacher Amazon Reacher season 3 started filming in November 2023. Production wrapped in 2024 ahead of its February 2025 release date. So with filming and postproduction, that's 15 months. And 15 months from July 1, the estimated filming start date, that takes us to October 2026 for a release date. That's 21 months between seasons, or nearly two years. That's 6 months longer than the gap between seasons 2 and 3. Not great. The idea here is that Neagley is supposed to work as a stop-gap, the spin-off focused on the side-character with Reacher clearly making a guest appearance, as we've seen at this recent Cubs game. Amazon has been setting this concept up for a while now, making sure Neagley is in every season, including season 3 where she was not in the book being adapted. And there are no Neagley-specific books, so they're going to be making things up as they go for this one. I think everyone is very tired of 1.5-3-year gaps between streaming seasons at this point, and it appears Reacher is going to be no exception with its spacing only getting longer.
