Filming on Reacher Season 4 is getting intense. In a just-released Instagram post, series star Alan Ritchson has dropped a big bombshell; the next season of Reacher will have, maybe, one of the best action scenes in the entire show, and according to Ritchson, “the best fight ever.”
Here’s what that might mean, and which aspect of the book, Gone Tomorrow, that this Reacher Season 4 fight might be adapting.
“Season 4 Goes Hard.”
In an earnest new Instagram post, which Ritchson posted on August 27, he looks extremely intense in a black-and-white still from the set of Reacher Season 4. This is more than a behind-the-scenes shot. This looks like an actual take from whatever scene has just been filmed.
“Game face was all the way on today,” Ritchson wrote. “We might’ve just shot the best fight ever on Reacher, and that’s saying something, cause every fight prior [to] this season felt the same way. Season 4 goes hard.”
In Season 3, the fight between Reacher and Paulie (Olivier Richters) was a high point of that story, and actually improved on the intensity of the same fight from the book, Persuader, which was the basis for Season 3. But what about Season 4? Which part of the book might this new fight be from?

The possible inspiration for the big Reacher Season 4 fight
Reacher Season 4 is based upon Lee Child’s 13thJack Reacher book, Gone Tomorrow, first published in 2009. The story takes place primarily in New York City, and a lot of the action happens on the subway.
But, in terms of big fights from the book, there is one point in the book where Reacher is put inside a cage and ends up fighting a few federal agents. Could this be what Ritchson is teasing? Reacher coming out of a cage and entering a massive brawl?
Right now, we don’t have a release date for Reacher Season 4. But with this kind of tease, it does sound like this could be the best season ever.
Reacher Seasons 1-3 stream on Amazon Prime.
