Reacher season 4: Release date speculation and latest news
When will more episodes of Reacher be landing?
**Warning: Contains full spoilers for Reacher season 3.**
Jack Reacher (Alan Ritchson) will soon be back on our screens for another adventure, with filming now having kicked off on Reacher season 4.
The official Reacher Instagram account confirmed the news on Wednesday, 11th June, with the post also seemingly revealing which book is being adapted for the new season.
The post featured a photo of a script sitting on the bench of a New York City MTA subway, seemingly indicating that Gone Tomorrow, the 13th Jack Reacher book, is being adapted for season 4, which fans will know also unfolds in NYC on the subway.
When a chance encounter with a stranger on a train goes disastrously wrong in Gone Tomorrow, Reacher is pulled into a deadly game with ruthless enemies from the highest echelons of power.
Alongside season 4, fans of the Ritchson-led series have also got a spin-off to look forward to, which will expand the hit drama's universe and see Maria Sten reprise her role as Frances Neagley.
But for now, read on for everything you need to know about season 4, including when it could be released and who's set to star.
Reacher season 4 release date speculation
There hasn't yet been a release date confirmed for Reacher season 4.
However, we do know that season 3 began filming in November 2023, with production finishing up in 2024 ahead of its February 2025 release date.
If season 4 were to follow the same pattern, which is 15 months from the filming start date to release date, we could expect it to land in September 2026.
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
There also looks to be some exciting new cast additions in season 4, with Jay Baruchel (Fubar), Sydelle Noel (GLOW), Agnez Mo (Pernikahan), Anggun (Levitating) and Kevin Corrigan (Poker Face) having joined as series regulars, according to Deadline,
Baruchel will star as policeman Jacob Merrick, Noel will play detective Tamara Green, Mo will star as Lila Hoth, a young Indonesian woman who travels to Philly to track down her American biological father, and Corrigan will star as Tamara's partner, Detective Docherty.
Kevin Weisman (Marvel’s Runaways), Marc Blucas (My Life with the Walter Boys) and Kathleen Robertson (The Expanse) have also joined the cast as recurring guest stars.
Weisman will play journalist Russell Plum, Blucas will star as John Samson, a US Congressman, while Robertson will star as his wife, Elsbeth Samson.
What will happen in Reacher season 4?
As detailed above, it looks as if season 4 will be based on the 2009 novel Gone Tomorrow, the 13th book in Child's Jack Reacher series.
The synopsis for the book is as follows: "New York City. Two in the morning. A subway car heading uptown. Jack Reacher, plus five other passengers. Four are okay. The fifth isn’t. And if you think Reacher isn’t going to get involved . . . then you don’t know Jack.”
“Susan Mark, the fifth passenger, had a big secret, and her plain little life was being watched in Washington, and California, and Afghanistan – by dozens of people with one thing in common: They’re all lying to Reacher. A little. A lot. Or just enough to get him killed.
"A race has begun through the streets of Manhattan, a maze crowded with violent, skilled soldiers on all sides of a shadow war. For Jack Reacher, a man who trusts no one and likes it that way, the finish line comes when you finally get face-to-face and look your worst enemy in the eye.”
Is there a trailer for Reacher season 4?
