The fourth season of Prime Video‘s Reacher is really shaping up. Earlier this week lead star Alan Ritchson confirmed that the fourth go-round wouldn’t be focusing on the actor’s favorite of Lee Child’s books, Die Trying, but rather the thirteenth book of the saga, Gone Tomorrow. It’s not the one many were expecting, but should be a fine season of television, nonetheless. The plot follows Reacher as a case of mistaken identity (in this case, he thinks a woman on a train is a suicide bomber) threatens to bring down an up-and-coming politician’s career. The woman on the train took her own life, and now Reacher teams with her brother and an NYPD detective to figure out why she made that choice.
The Jack Reacher books typically have the title character unraveling a conspiracy, and Gone Tomorrow‘s is one of the more interesting. And now, we know who is going to be stepping into the shoes of some of the novel’s main characters.
Marc Blucas (Narcos: Mexico) will be playing John Samson, the aforementioned up-and-coming politician while Kathleen Robertson (Scary Movie 2, Bates Motel) will be playing his wife, Elsbeth. The How to Train Your Dragon trilogy and This is the End‘s Jay Baruchel will be playing a character named Jacob Merrick, a renamed version of Jacob Mark, the brother of the deceased Susan Mark in the novel.
Sydelle Noel (GLOW, Black Panther) will be playing Tamara Green, a renamed version of Theresa Lee, with whom Reacher and Mark pair in the book. The name of Lee’s partner, Detective Docherty, however, will remain the same in the upcoming season, where he’ll be played by Pineapple Express and Poker Face‘s Kevin Corrigan.
The upcoming season is actually going to be changing up quite a few names. For instance, Svetlana Hoth is now Amisha Hoth, though her daughter, Lila, will have her name stay the same. Since the show is changing up names, will it change up background and motivations?
In the show, Amisha will be played by Indonesian-French singer/songwriter Anggun, whose acting credits include Raya and the Last Dragon. The role of Lila will be inhabited by fellow Indonesian singer Agnez Mo. Reacher will be her biggest American project to date.
There’s plenty of source material for the series to mine in the future, should it continue to just adapt Child’s books. Lee wrote 25 of them solo before his brother, Andrew Child, joined in the fun for The Sentinel, Better Off Dead, No Plan B, The Secret, In Too Deep, and the upcoming Exit Strategy.
Reacher Season 4’s production kicks off on Sunday, June fifteenth. It is expected to begin airing in early to mid-2026.
