Based onLee Child’sJack Reacherbooks, both the Amazon show and the twoTom Cruise-starring moviespresented their takes on Jack Reacher.

Most details surroundingReacherseason 4 remain undisclosed.

However, considering the show’s release schedule, it could be released sometime in 2026.

Perfectly aligning with Lee Child’s descriptions of the character, Alan Ritchson is incredibly tall and muscle-bound.

Reacher follows Jack Reacher, a former military police investigator, as he navigates civilian life. Without a phone and carrying minimal belongings, Reacher drifts across the country, experiencing the nation he once served, and encounters intriguing challenges along the way.

He also has a solid screen presence and convincingly portrays Jack Reacher’s brute strength and invincibility.

Without his height and wide frame, Jack Reacher would just be any other fictional detective or action hero.

This makes Alan Ritchson’s run as Jack Reacher far more impressive than Tom Cruise’s.

Jack Reacher stars Tom Cruise as the titular character and was directed by Christopher McQuarrie.
