Prime Video's Reacher Season 5 Starts Filming in Canada, Based on Lee Child's 'Make Me'

After besting the bad guys once again, our favourite swole savior has exited our screens as Reacher season 4 has come to an end. But not to worry, Reacher season 5 is already on the way and has started filming in Canada.

Fourth Outing Packed Full Action

The fourth outing was packed full of action, one-liners, and even a sneaky Tom Cruise reference. But the fun doesn't pause there. We already know which stars are joining Ritchson next time, and which of Lee Child's Jack Reacher books is being adapted next.

The confirmed cast list includes Alan Ritchson as Reacher. Jay Baruchel as Chief Buck Bauer, Kevin Durand as Nokes, Amanda Ip as Michelle Chang, and Ciara Bravo as Eunice.

Chang Exfbi Agent Turned Private

Chang is an ex-FBI agent turned private investigator who asks Reacher for help looking for her colleague who had been working for a mystery client. Bauer is a local cop in Mother's Rest who sounds a lot like season 4's Jacob Merrick.

The series so far has followed Alan Ritchson's bulky hero as he ventures from town to town with just the shirt on his back. Taking on bad guys where he can.

Reacher season 1 was based on 'Killing Floor,' season 2 adapted 'Bad Luck and Trouble,' season 3 was based on 'Persuader,' and season 4 brought Child's 13th book 'Gone Tomorrow' to life.

At San Diego Comic-Con 2026, the Reacher and Neagley panel confirmed that Reacher season 5 is based on Child's 20th Reacher book titled 'Make Me.' The novel finds Reacher at a remote railroad station in a Midwestern town called Mother’s Rest, hoping to make a quick stopover.

However, after expecting to find only miles of wheat fields, he meets a private investigator named Michelle Chang who mistakes him for her missing partner. When Reacher agrees to help Chang, he is pulled into a twisted technological mystery.

Reacher season 5 has already started filming in Ontario, Canada, with cameras rolling on July 20. The show could release as early as December 2027 or early 2028, but no official date has been confirmed yet.

Reacher was renewed for a fifth season in May 2026 ahead of Amazon’s upfront presentation. Three months before season 4 hit Prime Video. Historically, Reacher seasons have released around 1.5 years apart on average.

There are 30 books in total, and Lee Child's 31st Reacher novel, 'Chain Reaction,' co-written with his son Andrew Child, is set to hit shelves this October.

Reacher season 4 saw the ex-soldier touch down in Philadelphia. Where, on a seemingly normal train ride, he encounters a distraught federal employee named Anna Merrick.

Assuming she is a suicide bomber due to her clothing and demeanor, Reacher approaches her, but she panics and shoots herself. However, just before doing so, Anna hands Reacher a flash drive that makes him a target for multiple parties.

As for returning cast members, anyone other than Reacher usually doesn't show up again due to each season taking place in a different US state. However, Maria Sten's Francis Neagley has been known to drop in every now and then.

But now that she has her own spin-off show, it is not clear if we will see her on Reacher's turf again. The confirmed cast list includes Alan Ritchson as Reacher Jay Baruchel as Chief Buck Bauer Kevin Durand as Nokes Amanda Ip as Michelle Chang Ciara Bravo as Eunice.

There is no Reacher season 5 trailer just yet. As the season has only just started filming and does not yet have a release date.

It is not clear if Reacher season 5 will be the series' final installment. Technically, the show could keep going as long as there are Jack Reacher novels to adapt – and there are 30 books in total.
