The hit action series Reacher is charging ahead at full speed, with Season 3 currently airing and Season 4 already in pre-production. Fans of the Prime Video series have reason to be excited, as filming for the next installment is set to begin this summer. Lee Child, the author of the Jack Reacher novels and an executive producer on the show, recently confirmed the news, indicating that the Reacher Season 4 is well-prepared and ready to go.
Filming Set to Begin in Summer 2025
Speaking to TechRadar, Child revealed that Reacher Season 4 is further along in development than many expected.
“That’s already decided and prepared in advance. It’s written and it’s ready to go. It’s going to start shooting in the summer.”
This quick turnaround reflects the show’s immense popularity and Prime Video’s confidence in its success. Unlike many TV productions that take extended breaks between seasons, Reacher is wasting no time, keeping the momentum strong.
Prime Video’s Confidence in Reacher’s Future
The streaming giant demonstrated its faith in the series by renewing Reacher for a fourth season back in October 2024—before Season 3 had even premiered. The show, which debuted in 2022, has become one of Prime Video’s flagship series, consistently earning praise from both critics and audiences.
Vernon Sanders, head of television at Amazon MGM Studios, emphasized the series’ global impact in his official statement:
“Reacher has become a phenomenon that continues to resonate with our global customers beyond our wildest expectations, and we are thrilled to bring the series back for an additional season. We are looking forward to more action and adventure from the immensely talented team behind the series, including Nick Santora, Alan Ritchson, Lee Child, Skydance, and CBS Studios.”
What to Expect from Season 4
Although plot details for Season 4 remain under wraps, the show has plenty of material to draw from. The Jack Reacher book series consists of 29 novels, giving the writers numerous storylines to adapt. Popular books such as One Shot and Never Go Back—previously adapted into movies starring Tom Cruise—could potentially serve as inspiration for the next chapter.
With Reacher Season 3 currently airing, the new season is expected to follow a similar production schedule. If filming begins in the summer of 2025 as planned, Season 4 could likely premiere in early 2026.
Possible Crossover with Upcoming Spin-Off
The Reacher universe is expanding beyond the main series. A spin-off focusing on Frances Neagley, played by Maria Sten, is currently in development. Given that both projects are progressing simultaneously, there’s a possibility of a crossover between Reacher Season 4 and the Neagley spin-off.
Will the Cast Return?
A significant factor in Reacher’s continued success is its leading man, Alan Ritchson. His portrayal of the formidable yet intelligent Jack Reacher has been a major draw for viewers. Keeping Ritchson and other key cast members on board will be crucial for the show’s longevity. As many cast members from Season 3 as possible will likely return, ensuring continuity and maintaining the high standards set by the previous seasons.
The Future of Reacher
With the show’s rapid production pace and a vast library of source material to adapt, Reacher could continue for multiple seasons. Its sustained popularity and Prime Video’s commitment indicate that the series is here to stay. The next few seasons will depend on viewership numbers, scheduling logistics, and how well the creative team adapts the novels.
For now, fans can enjoy Season 3, with new episodes dropping every Thursday on Prime Video. With Season 4 already in the pipeline, the future of Reacher looks brighter than ever.
