Prime Video’s hit action-thriller Reacher, starring Alan Ritchson, is officially returning for a fourth season, the platform announced in October 2024. The renewal came ahead of Reacher Season 3, which premiered on February 20, 2025, and concludes with Episode 8.
Season 3 is based on Persuader, the seventh novel in Lee Child’s Jack Reacher series. Set in Boston, it follows Reacher as he teams up with DEA agent Susan Duffy (Sonya Cassidy) to investigate a suspected drug smuggling operation run by luxury rug dealer Zachary Beck (Anthony Michael Hall). Reacher is also pursuing Beck’s associate, Xavier Quinn (Brian Tee), responsible for murdering one of Reacher’s former Army colleagues.
Although there are 29 novels in the Jack Reacher series, the source material for Season 4 hasn’t been confirmed. In an interview with Business Insider, author Lee Child expressed interest in adapting The Midnight Line—his 22nd novel, which explores the opioid crisis from a compassionate perspective. Ritchson has said that the decision-making process around which book to adapt involves collaboration between showrunner Nick Santora, producers, and longtime Reacher fans behind the scenes.
While no premiere date has been set, past production timelines suggest Reacher Season 4 could arrive between April and May 2026. Season 1 premiered in February 2022, followed by Season 2 in December 2023 after delays caused by industry-wide strikes.
Meanwhile, a spinoff series titled Neagley, focused on Frances Neagley (Maria Sten), was announced just before the Season 4 news and is already in production, according to Variety. Ritchson hinted at a possible guest appearance, though nothing is confirmed.
Prime Video remains committed to expanding the Reacher franchise with more stories and characters from Lee Child’s universe.
