Reacher: Has The 'Intensely Physical' Season 4 Storyline Been Revealed? Check Out A Big Clue

Eight months after Prime Video gave Reacher a very early Season 4 renewal, we have a major clue about which of Lee Child's Jack Reacher novels it will adapt.

The hit series' Instagram account on Wednesday shared a photo of a "Season 4" script draped across the seat of a New York City subway train, strongly suggesting that Gone Tomorrow, the 13th of Child's Jack Reacher novels, is next in queue.

Without spoiling much of anything, Gone Tomorrow is set in motion when Reacher witnesses a female Pentagon staffer named Susan shoot herself dead on a NYC subway at 2 am. Some of the characters we can expect to be cast are NYPD homicide detective Theresa Lee; Susan's New Jersey policeman brother, Mark; and North Carolina congressman John Sansom.

TVLine has reached out to Prime Video for official storyline confirmation.

Alan Ritchson, who headline's TV's Reacher, was spotted in May in the stands at a Cubs game, filming a scene with Maria Sten for the Chicago-based Neagley spinoff. Sten co-starred as Neagley in the first three seasons of Reacher, after which she was tapped to headline her own series.

As TVLine's Inside Line column told you, once Neagley's freshman season has wrapped filming, the cameras will get rolling on Reacher Season 4 (since the shows share much of the same crew).

Reacher Season 4 was greenlit way back in October, well ahead of the well-reviewed third season's February premiere. Ritchson in a late May shared a photo of him with the Reacher stunt team, saying, "Season 4 is going to be the most intensely physical season yet. My body is ready."

Filming for Season 4 "is right around the corner," Ritchson suggested, "and dare I say... May be the best season yet?"

Based on Child's Jack Reacher novels, Season 1 of the Prime Video series adapted Killing Floor, Child's 1997 debut novel/first Jack Reacher tale, in which the titular man mountain found a Georgia community grappling with its first homicide in 20 years — which got pinned on the new drifter in town (aka Reacher).

Season 2 was based on Bad Luck and Trouble, the 11th of Child's Jack Reacher novels, and followed the veteran military police investigator as he reunited with members of his old U.S. Army unit in the wake of the brutal murder of one of their own.

Season 3 was based on the seventh book in Child's best-selling series, Persuader, in which Reacher went undercover to rescue an informant held by a foe from his past.
