Why do we recommend Prime Video for watching ‘Reacher’ Season 4?
Because it’s the only place you can watch it. “Reacher” is a Prime Video original, so you’ll need a subscription to stream Season 4. Prime Video costs $9 per month with ads or $14 per month ad-free, or you can do what I do and get it through an Amazon Prime membership. Since the season runs through Sept. 16, you’ll probably need it for a little more than a month if you’re watching every episode as soon as it drops.
Can you watch episodes of ‘Reacher’ Season 4 for free?
Yep, you probably can watch for free on Prime Video. The service usually offers a 30-day free trial for new subscribers. That means you can sign up when Season 4 drops and watch a big chunk of the season before the trial ends. Just keep in mind that because episodes are coming out weekly through Sept. 16, the finale lands more than 30 days after the premiere.

What is ‘Reacher’ Season 4 about?
“Reacher” Season 4 is based on Lee Child’s 13th Jack Reacher novel, “Gone Tomorrow,” and starts with a chance encounter on a Philadelphia subway. Reacher notices a distraught woman, approaches her, and watches the situation turn deadly, which immediately makes him suspicious that there’s more going on. His search for answers quickly pulls him into a much bigger conspiracy involving dangerous people at the highest levels of power.
Alan Ritchson is obviously back as Jack Reacher, with Sydelle Noel, Chris Marquette, AGNEZ MO, Anggun, Kevin Weisman, Marc Blucas, Kevin Corrigan, and Kathleen Robertson joining the Season 4 cast. And there’s already more Reacher coming after this. Prime Video has renewed the show for Season 5, which will be based on Lee Child’s 20th Reacher novel, “Make Me.” Amanda Ip, Jay Baruchel, Ciara Bravo, and Kevin Durand are among the new cast members joining that season.
How to watch previous seasons before ‘Reacher’ Season 4 drops
If you need to catch up before Season 4, it’s easy. All three previous seasons of “Reacher” are already streaming on Prime Video. That gives you plenty of Jack Reacher punching very large people, wandering into extremely dangerous situations, and somehow figuring out exactly what’s going on before pretty much everyone else does. You’ve still got time to catch up before Season 4 starts on Wednesday, Aug. 12.
