Get ready for more action and more Alan Ritchson in “Reacher” Season 4, which premieres Wednesday, Aug. 12 on Prime Video.
Our hunky, ex-military hero (Ritchson) is once again joined by a slew of new cast members as “Reacher” moves on to a fresh adventure based on Lee Child’s books. Per Amazon Prime, the 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.”
“Reacher” has a lot to live up to, as Season 3 was Prime Video’s most-watched season on the service since “Fallout” Season 1.
