If you thought Alan Ritchson would take a breather after wrapping up his upcoming action thriller, Motor City, think again. While promoting the film, Ritchson revealed that his return to the world of Jack Reacher is happening immediately. The executive producer/star revealed to ScreenRant that "we start shooting on Monday," adding that he's "gotta leave here and go" straight to the Toronto-based set for the next season of the hit Prime Video series.
With filming locked in to run from July 20 to December 5, 2026, under the working title Honcho, Ritchson has made it clear that his schedule is completely booked up.
"Yeah, we know [which book we're adapting]," Ritchson teased, "The season's been written. We're ready to shoot. All the scripts are done. The last half of my year is going to be all Reacher season 5."
What Fans Can Expect From Reacher Season 5
The fifth season of Reacher is highly anticipated to adapt another iconic, fan-favorite Lee Child novel, potentially shifting Jack Reacher back to his classic roots as a lone drifter. After recent seasons leaned heavily into high-stakes military conspiracies and team-ups with his former investigators, the next chapter is expected to focus on a more isolated, small-town mystery.
While it remains to be seen which Lee Child novel season 5 will be adapting, fans surmise that it could lean toward titles like Die Trying, Without Fail, or Tripwire. Because season 4 is confirmed to tackle the 13th book, Gone Tomorrow, the creative team led by showrunner Nick Santora has a massive library of 28 novels to choose from for this next chapter.
Audiences can look forward to a gritty detective story where Reacher has absolutely no backup, forcing him to rely entirely on his raw survival instincts and trademark brute strength. Fans can also expect the franchise's signature bone-breaking hand-to-hand combat, incredibly dry wit, and the inevitable destruction of plenty of bad guys who underestimate the wandering giant.
