Production nearly finished on Reacher season 5, Alan Ritchson confirms
Alan Ritchson shared where Reacher season 5 stands in production — and it’s closer to the finish line than you might expect.
From the Toronto set, Alan Ritchson jumped on Threads with a progress report that was equal parts update and swagger: filming on the next chapter of Reacher has cleared the midpoint and the body count is climbing.
“Over half way done filming… Means a baker’s dozen of dead goons… Winter is upon us… times four, carry the three… I don’t know like… ten years or less,” Ritchson said on Threads.
Season 5 is based on Lee Child’s twentieth Jack Reacher novel, Make Me, which drops the drifter into a tiny, oddly named town called Mother ’s Rest. What starts as a stop made out of curiosity pulls him into a dark mystery when he teams with a private investigator looking for a missing colleague.
New faces, new trouble
Alongside Ritchson’s returning bruiser, the season is stacking its ensemble with a mix of allies and threats. Here’s who’s in play so far:
- Amanda Ip — Michelle Chang, a private investigator
- Jay Baruchel — Chief Buck Bauer
- Ciara Bravo — Eunice
- Kevin Durand — Nokes
The latest antagonist to join the party is Ari Stidham, who’s set to play Dean Lassider — a shady businessman running a desert strip club and working in tandem with Nokes, per Deadline. It ’s also a mini-reunion: Stidham previously starred on CBS’s Scorpion, created by current Reacher showrunner Nick Santora.
Season 5 is filming in Toronto for Prime Video . Ritchson says the team is past the halfway point as production continues.
