Prime Video has confirmed the first plot details for Season 5 of "Reacher", revealing during a San Diego Comic-Con panel that the new run will adapt Lee Child's novel "Make Me" as Alan Ritchson returns for his next outing as Jack Reacher. The announcement matters because it gives fans clarity on where the drifter-detective's next case is headed, even though Season 4 has not yet aired.

The reveal follows Ritchson's own recent confirmation that filming on Season 5 had already begun, despite Season 4 still being a couple of weeks from its premiere, underlining the pace at which Prime Video is moving to keep the hit series in production. Full plot specifics beyond the source novel were not detailed at the panel.
