Get ready for more Jack Reacher at Amazon. On Monday, Prime Video announced that Reacher, one of the service’s most popular shows, has been renewed for season 5. The news was announced ahead of Amazon’s upfront presentation.
“From Lee Child’s globally beloved novels to its standout on-screen adaptation, Reacher has evolved into a true powerhouse franchise,” said Peter Friedlander, Head of Global Television, Amazon MGM Studios. “We’re grateful to our outstanding creative partners, cast, and crew—Nick, Alan, Lee, Skydance, and CBS Studios—for continuing to bring this world to life in such a bold and compelling way.”
As for the future of the franchise, here’s what we know so far about Reacher on Prime Video.
Reacher season 5 renewal comes ahead of season 4 premiere
More Reacher is coming
Reacher’s season 5 renewal is another sign of Prime Video’s confidence in the series, considering season 4 has yet to premiere.
Alan Ritchson returns to reprise his role as Jack Reacher, the former army major in the military police corps who now lives as a drifter. Reacher travels from town to town and constantly finds himself in precarious situations, which usually end with the titular character administering his version of justice through ingenuity and brute force.
Season 4 will be based on Gone Tomorrow, the 13th book in Lee Child’s Jack Reacher series. According to the Prime Video synopsis, “When a chance encounter with a distraught stranger on a subway goes horribly wrong, Jack Reacher is drawn into a complex and deadly game that pits him against ruthless foes from the highest echelons of power.”
Besides Ritchson, the Reacher season 4 cast also stars Chris Marquette, Sydelle Noel, Agnez Mo, Anggun, Kevin Weisman, Marc Blucas, Kevin Corrigan, and Kathleen Roberston.
Reacher season 4 is expected to premiere later in 2026.
Reacher is one of Prime Video’s biggest shows
Viewership continues to grow
The renewal news should not come as a surprise, considering Reacher’s standing on Prime Video’s roster. It is undoubtedly one of Prime Video’s five most recognizable shows, right up there with other hits like The Boys and The Summer I Turned Pretty.
According to Prime Video viewership data, Reacher season 3 reached 54.6 million viewers globally on Prime Video in its first 19 days. That is the most-watched season on the streamer since Fallout season 1.
Reacher spin-off in the works
The Reacher universe is born
The Reacher universe is expanding. In October 2024, Prime Video announced The Untitled Neagley Project. The series stars Maria Sten as Frances Neagley, a former member of Reacher’s unit and one of his only allies. Sten has appeared as Neagley in all three seasons of Reacher.
Now, Neagley gets her own show. While working as a private investigator in Chicago, Neagley must investigate the death of a former friend killed in a mysterious accident.
Besides Sten, the Neagley spin-off stars Greyston Holt, Jasper Jones, Adeline Rudolph, Matthew Del Negro, and Damon Herriman as Lawrence Cole. Ritchson is expected to appear as a guest star.
The Neagley spin-off has no release date.
