Reacher season 4: Release date speculation and latest news

The latest instalment was based on Lee Child's 2003 story Persuader and saw Alan Ritchson's hero facing off against an old adversary as he went undercover for the DEA.

It concluded at the end of March 2025 with a dramatic finale that saw Jack Reacher get revenge for a brutal death earlier in the season.

The good news is, as well as season 4, the series is also getting its own spin-off centred on Maria Sten’s Frances Neagley.

So, with plenty more to look forward to, when can we expect Reacher season 4 to land? Read on to find out more.

Will there be a Reacher season 4?

Yes! Reacher season 4 was announced back in October 2024, so there's plenty more to look forward to.

Vernon Sanders, head of television at Amazon MGM Studios, said at the time of its renewal: "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."

Reacher season 4 release date speculation

There hasn't yet been a release date confirmed for Reacher season 4. However, we do know that the series tends to stick to a pretty regular schedule of being released every year in the first few months.

Season 3 was released in February 2025, with the finale airing in March, and we can imagine with the early season 4 renewal that we won't be waiting too long for the fourth season's release.

Reacher season 4 cast speculation

It wouldn't be a season of Reacher without Alan Ritchson, so we'd expect him to reprise his leading role in the series.

As for the rest of the cast, with her own spin-off in the works, perhaps Maria Sten will be taking more of a backseat in the fourth season, but that's yet to be confirmed.

Following their demises in the third season, it's unlikely we'll see returns for Zachary Beck (Anthony Michael Hall), Paul 'Paulie' van Hoven (Olivier Richters) or Francis Xavier Quinn (Brian Tee) – although it wouldn't be the first time the latter had cheated death...

As for who will be returning for season 4, we don't yet know, but the cast we'd expect to see more of would be as follows.

• Alan Ritchson as Jack Reacher
• Maria Sten as Master Sergeant Francis Neagley
• Sonya Cassidy as Sarah Duffy
• Roberto Montesinos as Guillermo Villanueva
• Daniel David Stewart as Steven Eliot

What will happen in Reacher season 4?

As for plot details, we don't yet know what will unfold in Reacher season 4, but we can imagine that it'll be a continuation from the explosive season 3 finale.

We're sure, as with previous seasons, this season will be based on one of Lee Child's novels, but as of now, that hasn't been revealed just yet.

In the third season, we saw how Reacher went undercover to rescue an informant held by a haunting foe from his past.

Will that continue to have repercussions on Reacher's future? We'll just have to wait and see.

Is there a trailer for Reacher season 4?

Not yet! Seeing as season 3 has just finished airing, we can expect first-look images, teaser trailers and more season 4 information in due course.

Reacher season 3 is streaming on Prime Video – you can sign up now for a free 30-day Prime Video trial.
