• Reacher season 4 is coming to Prime Video in mid-August
• All episodes of new spin-off show Neagley will drop after the former’s finale, too
• Many fans had assumed it would arrive prior to Reacher 4

Reacher season 4 finally has a release date on Prime Video — and we don’t have long to wait for its debut. Indeed, the hugely successful Amazon TV Original’s next entry will premiere on Wednesday, August 12, which is a little over a month away at the time of publication.

We don’t have a trailer for the forthcoming installment yet, but we’ve received some other exciting news alongside Reacher 4‘s launch date in the form of new spin-off series Neagley, which is also arriving soon.

Focusing on fan-favorite character Frances Neagley, the off-shoot’s story is set after the events of Reacher season 3, so you’d think it would drop prior to Reacher’s next season, wouldn’t you? Not so, because Neagley won’t released until Wednesday, September 16 — i.e. the day that the Reacher season 4 finale also comes out.

We’re really jumping around the timeline here, but I’m sure long-time fans of the show will be happy to get a double dose of Reacher goodness anyway.

What do we know about Reacher season 4?

Plot-wise, Reacher season 4 adapts the 13th novel in Lee Child’s Jack Reacher book series, which is titled Gone Tomorrow. In it, the eponymous all-action hero witnesses a suicide that pulls him into a huge, multi-layered conspiracy. We can expect undercover terrorists, local police, the FBI, and more when the show returns for a gripping new story.

The forthcoming season won’t be this series’ last, either, because Reacher season 5 was renewed by Prime Video last month. So, we can expect even more from the hugely popular thriller series down the road.

Reacher season 3 became Prime Video’s biggest returning show last year and has quite the dedicated fanbase. It will be interesting to see how Neagley performs in comparison, then, especially if Amazon has ambitions on making even more off-shoots.
