Alan Ritchson has confirmed that filming on Season 5 of Prime Video's hit series "Reacher" is about to begin, with the star and executive producer revealing that scripts for the entire season are already finished. The news comes as a notable acceleration for the franchise, arriving even before Season 4 has premiered, and suggests the production is moving to keep pace with the show's growing popularity as Prime Video's biggest action series.

Speaking to ScreenRant while promoting his film "Motor City", Ritchson said shooting begins imminently, confirming that "all the scripts are done" and that the second half of his year will be devoted entirely to the new season. The rapid turnaround implies work began well before Prime Video's official renewal announcement in May, and given that previous seasons have typically taken four to six months to film, production is expected to run through to the end of 2026.
