Reacher Remains a Major Franchise
Peter Friedlander, head of global television at Amazon MGM Studios, praised the show’s growth.
“From Lee Child’s globally beloved novels to its standout on-screen adaptation, Reacher has evolved into a true powerhouse franchise,” Friedlander said. “The series’ ability to combine high-octane action with compelling character storytelling continues to resonate with tens of millions of viewers around the world. We’re excited to move forward with a fifth season ahead of season four’s debut and to build on this incredible momentum. We’re grateful to our outstanding creative partners, cast, and crew, Nick, Alan, Lee and Paramount Television Studios, for continuing to bring this world to life in such a bold and compelling way.”
Season 4 Takes on Gone Tomorrow
Season four is based on Gone Tomorrow. It is the 13th book in Child’s Reacher series.
The story follows the freelance problem-solver into another dangerous case.
The official logline reads, “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.”
The season four cast includes Chris Marquette, Sydelle Noel, Agnez Mo, Anggun, Kevin Weisman, Marc Blucas, Kevin Corrigan and Kathleen Roberston.
