Alan Ritchson Says REACHER Season 4 “May Be the Best Yet” as Training Kicks Into Gear
According to Alan Ritchson, Reacher Season 4 might just be the biggest and baddest season of the series yet.
The Reacher star gave fans a behind-the-scenes peek on Instagram, teasing his return as the no-nonsense nomad with a photo dump that included stunt training and wardrobe fittings. He captioned it with a confident tease:
“Season 4 is right around the corner, and dare I say… May be the best season yet?”
While Amazon hasn’t confirmed a start date for filming, it’s pretty clear from the post that things are ramping up behind the scenes. Ritchson’s body is already in go-mode, too:
“Back into stunts with Buster, Eric, and team. Season 4 is going to be the most intensely physical season yet. My body is ready.”
That’s the most substantial update fans have gotten about Season 4 since the series was renewed. For those keeping track, Season 3 ended with Reacher dismantling a drug operation in Maine before quietly slipping away once more, duffel-less as always.
We still have yet to learn which Jack Reacher novel Season 4 will adapt. Season 1 pulled from The Killing Floor, Season 2 tackled Bad Luck and Trouble, and Season 3 dove into Persuader.
The new photos include a cozy shot of Ritchson with author Lee Child, suggesting the creator is still closely involved, and most likely helping shape where Reacher heads next. Ritchson joked about 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.”
Before Reacher returns, though, fans will meet another familiar face in a spin-off: Neagley. The show centers on Reacher’s trusted ally Francis Neagley (played by Maria Sten) as she dives into a revenge-fueled investigation after a friend’s suspicious death.
The spin-off is expected to arrive in 2026, and while it’s not clear if Ritchson’s Reacher will make an appearance, he has been spotted on set.
“Stopped by the Neagley set to see my dear friend Maria Sten, who is absolutely crushing it,” he shared.
No release date yet for Reacher Season 4, but based on what we’ve seen so far, fans should be ready for a heavier dose of fists, grit, and Reacher justice.
