Alan Ritchson has dropped an intriguing update surrounding Reacher season 4, which is surprising because it reveals how the upcoming installment will be better than its predecessors in one significant way. After the upcoming Neagley spin-off show‘s filming wrapped, Reacher season 4 went into production.
As reports have confirmed, Reacher season 4 is adapting Lee Child’s Gone Tomorrow, which happens to be the thirteenth book in the original series. While only time will tell how adapting Gone Tomorrow will turn out for Reacher season 4, the book is often touted as one of Lee Child’s best works.
The book’s reputation raises hope that Reacher season 4 will be better than its predecessors in more ways than one. Interestingly, Alan Ritchson has made Reacher season 4 even more exciting by giving away one bold behind-the-scenes update.
Alan Ritchson Has Confirmed That Reacher Season 4 Will Have The Best Fight Scene On The Series
In a recent Instagram post, Alan Ritchson shared an intense black-and-white picture from the sets of Reacher season 4. The brooding intensity on his face in the picture alone is enough to get one hyped for the show’s next installment. However, the caption beneath the photo makes Reacher season 4 even more exciting.
The caption reveals that Ritchson and the team behind Reacher might have shot “the best fight ever on Reacher.“ In the caption, Alan Ritchson even clarifies that he previously felt the same way for every other fight sequence on Reacher and agrees that calling season 4’s action scenes the best is a tall claim.
Ritchson ends the caption by assuring that “season 4 goes hard,” which is believable since the Prime Video detective series has only gotten better with each installment. However, even though Ritchson’s claim about season 4 having the best fight scene raises anticipation for season 4, it is hard not to be curious about how it will achieve this feat, especially after one season 3 sequence.

Before walking through Paulie and Reacher’s final showdown, Reacher season 3 does an incredible job of building up to it. It initially confirms that when it comes to physical strength, Paulie is even stronger than Reacher and can take him down with one slap. Reacher, too, acknowledges how he was not expecting a big guy like Paulie to be so quick and nimble.
This initial revelation makes Reacher the underdog and eventually adds even more intensity and suspense to the final fight. After a perfect build-up, the final confrontation in Reacher season 3 leaves no dull moments as it highlights how Reacher overcomes all odds to take Paulie down.
The fight eventually ends with a brutal climax that displays how Reacher uses both brawn and brain to overcome Paulie’s brute strength. Since Reacher season 3’s final sequence sets an incredibly high bar, Alan Ritchson’s claim about season 4 having the best fight scene is both surprising and exciting.
