New set photos from Reacherseason 4 reveal Alan Ritchson's next on-screen love interest. Production on the hit Prime Video action series is well underway, with Reacher season 4 set to adapt the 2009 Lee Child novel Gone Tomorrow. The story will take shape as a chance encounter with a distraught stranger on a train goes horribly wrong. The titular Jack Reacher is soon drawn into a deadly game with powerful people.

Along with Ritchson, who reprises the lead role of Jack Reacher, the cast for the upcoming episodes includes Christopher Rodriguez-Marquette, Agnez Mo, Indonesian-French singer Anggun, Kevin Corrigan, Kevin Weisman, Marc Blucas, Kathleen Robertson, and Glow alum Sydelle Noel as Tamara Green, a homicide detective.

New photos from the set of Reacher season 4 have now pulled back the curtain on Noel's debut as Tamara Green. In the photos, the Glow star is wearing a sleeveless top tucked into dark high-waisted trousers with black shoes.

Sunrise Films has acquired North American distribution rights to “Bang Bang,” the emotionally charged boxing drama starring Tim Blake Nelson.

Vincent Grashaw directed, wrote and produced the Detroit-set drama, which explores themes of family, legacy and redemption against the backdrop of the boxing world. The film, which made the festival rounds at Tribeca, Locarno, Deauville American Film Festival, and Oldenburg, centers on retired boxer Bernard “Bang Bang” Rozyski (Nelson), who finds renewed purpose training his estranged grandson. But questions swirl around Bang Bang’s true motivations, including from an old flame who witnessed his 1980s rise and bitter rivalry with her cousin, now Detroit mayoral candidate Darnell Washington.

The ensemble cast includes Glenn Plummer (“Sons of Anarchy”), Kevin Corrigan (“Goodfellas”), Nina Arianda (“Tower Heist”), Andrew Liner (“Vampire Academy”), Erica Gimpel (“Criminal Minds”), and Daniella Pineda (“The Vampire Diaries”).

“With Bang Bang, we were drawn to a powerfully written story filled with emotionally rich characters,...

The Reachercast and crew got a surprise visit from former United States President Joe Biden recently, as the show's star Alan Ritchson posted about the interaction on social media. However, that's not the only reason why the show has been trending lately. Aside from that presidential experience and fans' excitement about Season 4 (which is currently being filmed), news of a recast has been announced. According to Deadline, Christopher Rodriguez-Marquette, who starred in Freddy vs. Jason and Race to Witch Mountain, joined the cast in a recasting. The opportunity arose after actor Jay Baruchel had to exit the series for personal reasons.

Deadline reported that the replacement comes after it was revealed that Baruchel joined the cast a few weeks ago. Rodriguez-Marquette will now play Jacob Merrick, a small-town policeman. The role is no small part; it is supposedly meaty, which means the actor's character should have a lot of camera time.

“Hey, I’m gonna be a star.” That was almost Sam Rockwell’s line in “Lean on Me.” The 1989 film which starred Morgan Freeman as the real-life educator Joe Louis Clark. Rockwell was cast in the film, but — as he revealed during a recent appearance on the podcast “Happy Sad Confused” — that one line ended up going to Michael Imperioli.

“They never got to my scene,” Rockwell explained to host Josh Horowitz (via Entertainment Weekly). “So they had to let me go because they didn’t want to pay me for a week. So they got to pay for a day player or pay for a week. So they… let me go. They fired me… And because they were like, ‘Ah, we can’t pay them a week for one line.’ And then they hired Michael, and Michael [Imperioli] got it. Michael’s in the movie, but I still got residuals…...

Reacher is returning to the screens with its fourth season, bringing back Alan Ritchson along with the rest of the star-studded cast. Besides the actors who were already there, the incredible cast has also been met with additions as some new stars have been cast in the show as well – a list that formerly included actor Jay Baruchel, too.

However, as the release date of the same draws near, the Prime Video series has some rather disappointing news to share with the fans: the fan-favorite Baruchel can no longer make its way to the screens alongside Ritchson’s titular hero. Instead, the role has been recast with another stunning actor: Christopher Rodriguez-Marquette.

As tremendously anticipated as the upcoming fourth...

Prime Video's hit action series Reacher is officially coming back with Season 4. The fans won't have to wait long, as the show has returned to filming a few months after Season 3's finale in March.

The series is based on Lee Child's Jack Reacher anthology series, and follows its titular protagonist, an elite ex-military police major, as he travels across the U.S., exposing conspiracies, corruption, and trafficking. Many cast members changed from one season to the other, and Reacher Season 4 has recently announced new additions. However, shortly after the cast reveal, Deadline reports Jay Baruchel has been recast, and Christopher Rodriguez-Marquette will take over.

How to Train Your Dragon's Jay Baruchel had been originally cast as Jacob Merrick, a small-town policeman. However, he was reportedly "forced to exit" the production shortly after he was cast to "attend to a personal matter." Instead, Barry star Christopher Rodriguez-Marquette will take over the role.

Of his many memorable performances, Sam Rockwell is apparently still getting paid for one that never happened.

The Oscar winner recently recalled when he, Michael Imperioli and Kevin Corrigan “drove in a van to New Jersey to audition for one line in Lean on Me” early in their careers, as well as how he still gets paid despite not appearing in the 1989 film.

“And then I got it,” said Rockwell on the Happy Sad Confused podcast. “And then, they never got to my scene, so they had to let me go because they didn’t want to pay me for a week. So, they gotta pay you for a day player or pay you for a week. So, they let me go. They didn’t fire me, they just sort of let me go because they were like, ‘We can’t pay him a week for one line.’ And then Michael got it.

Sam Rockwell may not actually be in the 1989 film Lean on Me, but he’s still paid for the role he almost had.

The Oscar winner recently shared on the Happy Sad Confused podcast that he, Michael Imperioli and Kevin Corrigan drove together in a van to New Jersey to audition for a single line in the movie, starring Morgan Freeman and Beverly Todd.

While Rockwell ultimately landed the role, he admitted they “never got to my scene” during filming. “So they had to let me go because they didn’t want to pay me for a week,” he said, adding that they just paid him for the day. “They were like, we can’t pay him a week for one line.”

Imperioli was later cast for the role, but The White Lotus actor said, “I still get residual checks for that even though I’m not in it.”

Reacher’s next case just got a whole lot more complicated — and it’s bringing in a fresh face to help crack it. Christopher Rodriguez-Marquette (HBO’s Barry) has joined the cast of Reacher Season 4 in a recasting, according to Deadline. He steps into the role of small-town cop Jacob Merrick, a character described as pivotal in the upcoming season’s adaptation of Gone Tomorrow, the 13th book in Lee Child’s long-running Jack Reacher (Alan Ritchson) series. Rodriguez-Marquette replaces Jay Baruchel, who was originally announced for the role just weeks ago but exited due to personal reasons. According to sources close to production, the casting was a lightning-fast turnaround: Rodriguez-Marquette was hired the same day the role became available and flown to set just days later.

In Gone Tomorrow, Reacher finds himself entangled in a deadly web after a tragic encounter on a New York subway. As always, it...

Amazon Prime Video's Reacherseason 4 is undergoing a major casting change just days after filming in Philadelphia. Production for Reacher season 4 began earlier this month, soon after series lead Alan Ritchson confirmed which Jack Reacher novel would be tapped for the latest TV adaptation. As an anthology series with nearly 30 books to choose from, Reacher follows its elite ex-military titular protagonist as he travels around the country with only the contents in his pockets, getting involved in various conspiracies, revenge stories, and the like.

Per Deadline, Christopher Rodriguez-Marquette has replaced Jay Baruchel as Reacher season 4's new supporting character, Jacob Merrick. Baruchel reportedly left the production to "attend to a personal matter." Rodriguez-Marquette is best known for his role as Chris Lucado in HBO's Emmy-winning dark comedy series Barry. He joins a Reacher season 4 cast led by recurring stars Alan Ritchson and Maria Sten, and a new slate of supporting actors that includes Sydelle Noel,...

Exclusive: Christopher Rodriguez-Marquette (Barry) has joined Reacher Season 4 opposite Alan Ritchson in a recasting, Deadline has learned.

Rodriguez-Marquette will play Jacob Merrick, a small-town policeman. He takes over the role — which is said to be a meaty one this season — from Jay Baruchel, who was forced to exit the series to attend to a personal matter. Baruchel had only been announced as joining the cast a couple of weeks ago.

Sources said that part of what was notable about the experience for Rodriguez-Marquette is that he was cast the same day the breakdown for the role went out, and was flown out to set within a couple of days.

Created by Nick Santora, who also writes, execs produces and serves as showrunner, Reacher is based on the novels by Lee Child. The fourth season of the dramatic actioner adapts the 13th book in the global bestselling series, Gone Tomorrow. When...

Reacher season 4 is heading to New York City, and it looks like the Prime Video show is adapting Gone Tomorrow. Alan Ritchson recently posted a selfie on Instagram of him holding a copy of Lee Child’s Gone Tomorrow.

The TV show hasn’t followed Lee Child’s books chronologically. It started with the Reacher novel Killing Floor, then leapt ahead to the 11th book in the series, Bad Luck and Trouble. Season 3 then jumped back to book 7, Persuader. The team seem to be picking the more action-packed books rather than following the strict timeline.

The author admits that the books are written in a way that means you don’t need to read in order. "I want them to be able to read that as equal to any other book in the series," he told Men's Journal earlier this year. So, it doesn’t matter than the fourth season is the 13th book.

Amazon Prime Video isn’t slowing down when it comes to Reacher. Season 4 is officially in production, and the clues are already out in the open—literally. A script casually left on a New York City subway seat in a teaser image strongly hints at the season’s literary source: Gone Tomorrow, the 13th book in Lee Child’s Jack Reacher series. The setting? Manhattan. The vibe? Shadowy, dangerous, and unmistakably classic Reacher.

Reacher Season 4 Release Details

Let’s do the math for release date, season 3 began filming in late 2023 and is set for a February 2025 drop. That’s a 15-month window from start to finish. Season 4 production kicked off mid-June 2025. Add the same timeline? You’re looking at September 2026. That means fans should brace for a longer-than-usual wait of about 19 months between seasons.

Fans of Prime Video’s Reacherseem to be looking to brush up on the popular action thriller after the series recently received a few exciting updates. Per FlixPatrol,Reacher is making its way back to the top of the Prime Video TV streaming charts. As of June 14, the Alan Ritchson-led series is in the No. 4 spot in the Top 10.

Reacher has gained one spot in the Top 10 recently. The series, based on the books by Lee Child, has been available on the streamer for more than 1,100 days and is just behind Prime Video’s The Better Sister, Clarkson’s Farm, and Motorheads, which are in the first, second, and third spots, respectively.

Top 10 Amazon Prime Shows Image via FlixPatrol Which Novel Will Season 4 Adapt?

The series gaining traction in the Top 10 comes after the news broke earlier this week that Reacher’s upcoming fourth season will adapt Lee Child’s 2009 novel Gone Tomorrow.

It was recently confirmed that Season 4 of Prime Video’s hit action-thriller Reacher will adapt Gone Tomorrow, the 13th installment in Lee Child’s bestselling Jack Reacher novel series; and now, a wave of new casting news has arrived.

According to Deadline, several actors have joined the upcoming season. Jay Baruchel (Fubar), Sydelle Noel (Glow), Indonesian singer-actress Agnez Mo (Pernikahan), Indonesian-French singer Anggun (Levitating), and Kevin Corrigan (Poker Face) have been cast as series regulars. Joining them in recurring guest roles are Kevin Weisman (Marvel’s Runaways), Marc Blucas (My Life with the Walter Boys), and Kathleen Robertson (The Expanse).

Prime Video's Reacher series has taken a nonlinear approach to Lee Child’s novels. Season 1 adapted Killing Floor, the first book in the series. Season 2 jumped ahead to the 11th book, Bad Luck and Trouble, while Season 3 tackled Persuader, the seventh entry, originally published in 2003.

In Season 3, Reacher finally settles an old score with Quinn,...

Prime Video has announced the casting of eight roles for Reacher Season 4, which will, in fact, be based on Lee Child’s 13th Jack Reacher novel, Gone Tomorrow.

The hit series’ socials had previously teased the Season 4 source material with a photo of a script draped across the seat of what appeared to be a New York City subway car — though the casting details below suggest the book’s setting has been moved to Philadelphia. Series lead Alan Ritchson, not long after, Instagrammed a photo of himself holding a copy of Gone Tomorrow.

Prime Video's hit action series, Reacher, has already been teased as its "best season yet" by star, Alan Ritchson. The popular character — previously played by none other than Tom Cruise himself — has been a mainstay in film and television since the first adaptation of author Lee Child's creation back in 2012. But it is perhaps the TV series that gets the story of the toughest army man the United States has ever seen; so much so that the series is even getting its own spinoff. And in its upcoming fourth season, the cast is getting as metaphorically jacked as its star.

According to a press release sent out by the Amazon streaming channel, the fourth season of the action-packed drama series is jam-packed with actors you know and love. Based on the 13th book in Lee Child’s hit global novel series, Gone Tomorrow, the season's official logline is as...

Jack Reacher may be stoic, but Alan Ritchson? Not so much. In fact, when the Reacher star came across a single line in the early Lee Childnovels about the legendary loner’s thinning hair, he says he “cheered out loud.” Why? Because it meant one thing: longevity. “There’s no pressure here to like, maintain my youth as we go through this, so I don't care,” Ritchson told Empire. “I’ll keep shooting as long as people will have me.”

With Reacher Season 4 officially adapting Gone Tomorrow — the 13th book in Child’s bestselling series — that “as long as people will have me” is looking like a pretty long time.

Amazon has confirmed that Gone Tomorrow will serve as the blueprint for Season 4, continuing the tradition of adapting one Reacher novel per season. This time, the story begins with a tragic encounter on a New York City subway and spirals...

One of Prime Video’s runaway hits, Reacher, is ready to invite eight more actors to the party for its upcoming Season 4 production. The hard-hitting series, starring Alan Ritchson as Jack Reacher, is based on Lee Child’s book series, with showrunner Nick Santora, Amazon, MGM Studios, Skydance Television, and CBS Studios at the helm.

Jay Baruchel, Sydelle Noel, Indonesian singer-actress Agnez Mo (Pernikahan), Indonesian-French singer Anggun (Levitating) and Kevin Corrigan feature as series regulars and Kevin Weisman, Marc Blucas and Kathleen Robertson as recurring guest stars in Season 4.

Reacher Season 4 revolves around events from Child’s 2009 novel Gone Tomorrow. Check out the synopsis for the 13th installment of Child’s Jack Reacher series below, courtesy of Amazon:

Amazon Prime Video's Reacher has added eight new cast members for its highly anticipated fourth season. Lead actor Alan Ritchson recently confirmed on social media that Reacher season 4 will adapt Lee Child's Gone Tomorrow, the 13th book in his Jack Reacher series, after a BTS teaser image of a Reacher script on a subway was posted by Amazon Prime Reacher's Instagram account. While a release date has not yet been determined for Reacher season 4, it is expected to come out in early or mid-2026.

Per Deadline, the eight new Reacher season 4 cast members include Jay Baruchel, Sydelle Noel, Agnez Mo, Anggun, Kevin Corrigan, Kevin Weisman, Marc Blucas, and Kathleen Robertson.

With Neagley done filming and in post-production, Prime Video is moving full steam ahead on Reacher Season 4. The first eight actors have just been announced, and their character details suggest some minor alterations to Gone Tomorrow, the Lee Child novel that serves as the basis for the new season.

Per Deadline, Jay Baruchel (Man Seeking Woman), Sydelle Noel (Glow), Agnez Mo (Pernikahan), Anggun (Levitating), and Kevin Corrigan (Law & Order: Organized Crime) are set as series regulars on Reacher Season 4, joining series lead Alan Ritchson. Baruchel will play Jacob Merrick, a small-town policeman. Noel will play Tamara Green, a detective with the Philadelphia police department, with Corrigan playing her partner, Detective Docherty.

On today’s Crew Call we sit down with Logic aka Sir Robert Bryson Hall II (Sir is reportedly part of his birth name) who rose from the hard-scrabbled environs of Gaithersburg, Maryland from a family wrestling with crime and addiction to become a multi-platinum rapper with albums such as 2014’s “Under Pressure” and 2015’s “The Incredible True Story”.

Despite selling out arenas, and raking in millions, Logic had to scratch that itch for filmmaking. In fact his younger self became passionate about cinema and hip hop after watching Quentin Tarantino’s 2003 Kill Bill: Vol. 1; that movie’s scored produced by RZA, a member of Wu-Tang Clan. (The title of Logic’s seventh mixtape “Bobby Tarantino III” in 2021 is a nod to the Pulp Fiction director).

Created by Rian Johnson, the Peacock crime comedy show stars Natasha Lyonne as Charlie Cale, a woman with the ability to detect when others are lying who travels from place to place, investigating crimes.

Plot: Poker Face is a mystery-of-the-week series following Natasha Lyonne’s Charlie, who has an extraordinary ability to determine when someone is lying. She hits the road with her Plymouth Barracuda and with every stop encounters a new cast of characters and strange crimes she can’t help but solve.

Review: While Rian Johnson revived the whodunit on the big screen with Knives Out and the Netflix sequel Glass Onion, his charmingly retro small-screen series Poker Face has truly proven its worth in the tried-and-true genre. Echoing classic shows like Columbo and The Rockford Files, Poker Face‘s first season centered on Charlie Cale (Natasha Lyonne), who solved mysteries while on the run from gangsters looking to kill her. The overarching narrative of the first season was engaging, but the standalone mysteries boasting famous guest stars turned Poker Face into must-watch programming. After a two-year wait, Poker Face is back with another ten mysteries,...

Sometimes, it is possible to have too many options.

That is especially true of the current streaming age when there are multiple streaming services with impressive, immense film libraries and algorithms that are all pointing you in different directions but none making it particularly easy for you to actually pick something to watch. Buried in every streaming platform’s library are also underrated titles that are rarely promoted by them and, therefore, frustratingly difficult to find.

It’s for all of those reasons and more that TheWrap has picked out three underrated and forgotten films that are streaming right now on Max that you should consider watching this weekend.

“Unstoppable” (20th Century Fox) “Unstoppable” (2010)

One of the most effective and entertaining blockbusters of the early 2010s, Tony Scott’s “Unstoppable” stars Chris Pine and Denzel Washington as two men who decide to face the wrath of industrial America head-on. Based on a real-life incident,...

Not every great movie gets the love it deserves. A box office flop, however, doesn’t always mean the film is bad – or that it did not recover some money, at least. Guy Pearce knows this better than most.

While he’s delivered memorable performances in everything from classics like Memento to blockbusters like Iron Man 3, many of his best films have flopped commercially. For all his ability to disappear into complex roles, here’s a countdown of ten Guy Pearce films that, despite their box office misfortune, deserve your attention.

10. The Time Machine (2002)

In this adaptation of the H.G. Wells novel, Guy Pearce plays Alexander Hartdegen, a brilliant inventor who builds a time machine to save his fiancée, Emma, after a terrible tragedy.

His journey takes him 800,000 years into the future, where humanity has split into two races – the peaceful Eloi and the underground-dwelling Morlocks.

"Look me in the eye and, uh, tell me that you didn't kill her?" Peacock has revealed the trailer for Season 2 of Rian Johnson's highly acclaimed, amusing mystery-of-the-week series Poker Face - starring Natasha Lyonne. The first season of this whodunit comedy series launched in 2023 - and Season 2 is now locked & loaded arriving this May. Johnson and Lyonne call this next season "a gonzo parade" of episodic murder mysteries with a visual style inspired by ‘70s American cinema and TV classics like Columbo and Quantum Leap. Each episode is its own world with its own tone, and yes, an unforgettable new batch of many weird, wonderful characters. Natasha Lyonne returns as Charlie, who has an "extraordinary ability" to determine when someone is lying - a "human lie detector," as she is known.

With all episodes dropping at once, Hulu’s Deli Boys is an easy binge. It balances humor, crime, and family drama without being too dark or heavy. The show’s bizarre twists and fast-paced storytelling keep viewers engaged, making it a fun watch with plenty of surprises. This article breaks down everything you need to know about ‘Deli Boys’, from its premise to the cast and the soundtrack that elevates the experience.

About ‘Deli Boys’:

Deli Boys is a Hulu original series created by Abdullah Saeed. The show follows Mir and Raj Dar, two estranged brothers who are forced to step into their father’s business empire after his sudden death. As they navigate the murky waters of their inheritance, they uncover shocking secrets about their family’s past. With a mix of crime, comedy, and heartfelt drama, Deli Boys provides a unique take on the immigrant experience and the weight of familial expectations.

There is a rich tradition of crime meets comedy — in television, in film, and even in other countries. From “Ocean’s Eleven” to “The Nice Guys” and “The Afterparty” on Apple TV+, it’s always fun to imagine the gritty underworld filled with hilarious characters that don’t belong there. In India, Hindi movies like “Andaz Apna Apna” and “Hera Pheri” and “Jaane Bhi Do Yaaro” scratch the same itch, infusing life-or-death stakes of illegal activity with good old-fashioned hijinks. It’s the spirit alive and well in “Deli Boys,” the 10-episode Hulu debut now available to stream.

Created by Abdullah Saeed, “Deli Boys” follows brothers Raj (Saagar Shaikh) and Mir (Asif Ali) after the sudden death of their father (Iqbal Theba) when they inherit a family business that couldn’t be further from what they imagined. The body is barely cold before they’re enveloped in a world of drugs and murder,...
