Reacher season 4 has had a significant casting switch-up, with Christopher Rodriguez-Marquette replacing Jay Baruchel in the role of Jacob Merrick, a small town policeman.

He was subsequently flown to the set in a matter of days. Reacher is Amazon Prime¡¯s adaptation of Lee Child¡¯s Jack Reacher novels that first premiered on February 4, 2022. Before the Amazon Prime series, the Jack Reacher novels had been adapted into a duology starring Tom Cruise.
