Warning: This story contains spoilers from Episodes 1-7 of “Reacher” Season 4.
“Reacher” is heading into its season finale with an explosion that likely left two central characters dead.
Season 4 of Prime Video’s action thriller returned last month with fan-favorite Jack Reacher (Alan Ritchson) entangled in a new mystery alongside a new cast of characters and another globe-spanning conspiracy.
Based on Lee Child’s bestselling novel “Gone Tomorrow,” Season 4 kicked off with what seemed to be a routine subway encounter before quickly spiraling into a deadly game involving powerful enemies.
Over four seasons, “Reacher” has become one of Prime Video’s biggest action hits by pairing explosive fight scenes with sprawling mysteries pulled directly from Child’s novels. Season 4 continued that formula by introducing a fresh story, new villains, and another case that puts Reacher in the middle of a high-stakes conspiracy.
Here’s everything to know about the Season 4 finale and whether the series will return for another season.
When is ‘Reacher’ Season 4 finale?
Season 4 of “Reacher” is set to conclude Wednesday, Sept. 16, with the finale scheduled to release at 3 a.m. ET/midnight PT on Prime Video.
The eight-episode season premiered Wednesday, Aug. 12, with the first three episodes followed by new episodes each week.
Where can you watch the ‘Reacher’ Season 4 finale?
“Reacher” Season 4 streams exclusively on Prime Video. The season finale will be available Sept. 16 at 3 a.m. ET / midnight PT.
What happened in ‘Reacher’ Season 4?
According to Prime Video, Season 4 follows Reacher after “a chance encounter with a distraught stranger on a subway goes horribly wrong,” drawing him into a dangerous conspiracy involving powerful figures and ruthless enemies.
Like previous seasons, the new episodes adapt one of Child’s bestselling novels. This time, showrunner Nick Santora turns to “Gone Tomorrow,” the 13th installment in the long-running Jack Reacher book series.
