Alan Ritchson posted a fun video of himself on his Instagram account, and fans can see him spending time in his green room while filming Reacher season 4. He explains that when lights and cameras have to be switched out and the cast is moving locations, actors have to wait in the green room, and it can take a long time. He joked that the green room could be a dumpster or "a really cool space like this." He moves his phone around so fans can see the large space, which he calls "an artist's enclave" since it has a guitar and piano.

Ritchson also gives a shout-out to the cast and crew of Reacher season 4. He says the "incredible crew" who worked on Reacher seasons 1, 2, and 3 have returned for the upcoming season. The actor also praised his co-stars Sydelle Noel for making delicious cookies and also mentioned new cast member Christopher Marquette-Rodriguez, who "came in under some pretty tough circumstances and he's owned his work."

While he doesn't spill any story details in the video, or explain any new characters, Ritchson lets fans know there will be plenty of action and adventure in the upcoming season. He says:

"If the story was any more high octane we’d have to check people’s heart health before watching. Things get crazy this season in the best way. We want every year to be familiar but a little different and always frought with peril, mystery, action and a little of that sardonic Reacher humor of course. We’re ticking all the boxes."

While fans can see Ritchson's passion and love for Reacher in this fun video, he has shared the tougher times he's faced on set. In an interview from a little while ago, the actor talked about getting hurt while filming season 1 and working on his health afterward.

Although it's unclear when Reacher season 4 will arrive on Amazon Prime Video, it's exciting that the cast and crew are currently filming the new episodes. Hopefully, the wait won't be too long. While the new season isn't based on the book that Ritchson hoped it would be, Gone Tomorrow is a memorable story, and fans are curious to see how it will translate to the small screen.

Along with wanting Reacher season 4 to arrive as soon as possible, fans are also looking forward to the spinoff Neagley, which stars Maria Sten in the main role of Frances Neagley. It promises to be a thrilling spinoff with twists and turns as the showrunner shared that the series will focus on the character's backstory.
