Prime Video has renewed its hit series Reacher for a fifth season ahead of its Season 4 premiere expected for later this year. The streamer touts the show’s “continued success and global appeal of the action-packed drama” as the reason for the early renewal, which was announced Monday.

The series adaptation of Lee Child’s bestselling Jack Reacher novels follows Reacher (Alan Ritchson), a drifter carrying no phone and the barest of essentials as he travels the country and explores the nation he once served, usually ending up in situations requiring his keen mind and hard-hitting fists.

Season 4 will be based on the 13th book in Child’s book series, Gone Tomorrow. When a chance encounter with a distraught stranger on a subway goes horribly wrong, Reacher is drawn into a complex and deadly game that pits him against ruthless foes from the highest echelons of power.

New to the cast for Season 4 are Chris Marquette, Sydelle Noel, Agnez Mo, Anggun, Kevin Weisman, Marc Blucas, Kevin Corrigan and Kathleen Roberston. Production on the new season wrapped in March.

“From Lee Child’s globally beloved novels to its standout on-screen adaptation, Reacher has evolved into a true powerhouse franchise,” said Peter Friedlander, Head of Global Television, Amazon MGM Studios. “The series’ ability to combine high-octane action with compelling character storytelling continues to resonate with tens of millions of viewers around the world. We’re excited to move forward with a fifth season ahead of Season Four’s debut and to build on this incredible momentum.”

Reacher is produced by Paramount Television Studios and Amazon MGM Studios. The series is written for television by Nick Santora, who also executive produces and serves as showrunner. In addition to Santora and Child, Ritchson serves as an executive producer alongside Don Granger, Scott Sullivan, Mick Betancourt, Lisa Kussner, Sam Hill, Amy Pocha and Seth Cohen. Carolyn Harris and Kenny Madrid are the executives in charge of the series for Paramount Television Studios.
