Prime Video’s fifth season of *Reacher* will adapt *Make Me*, Lee Child’s 20th novel in the series. Child describes the story as “disgusting” and exceptionally brutal, suggesting the season could push the show’s already violent and mature content further than previous chapters.

The plot begins when Reacher arrives in Mother’s Rest and investigates the disappearance of a private investigator’s colleague alongside Michelle Chang. They uncover a criminal operation that targets suicidal people online, murders them on camera and sells access to paying viewers, while the surrounding conspiracy eliminates anyone who gets too close to the truth. The adaptation must balance preserving the novel’s disturbing premise with Prime Video’s television standards.
