‘Work On Reacher’s Been A Little Rough This Year,’ And Alan Ritchson Proved It By Showing Off His Black Eye

by

The production of “Reacher” Season 4 is ongoing, and judging by what’s been shared, it seems they aren’t holding back on action. Details about the fourth season are scarce, but Alan Ritchson has hinted at some thrilling developments. This suggests that filming for Season 4 is getting quite intense, as evidenced by Ritchson showing off his shiner recently.

As the titular Jack Reacher, Ritchson has been through the wringer in the first three seasons of the drama. He’s gotten pretty beat up and even had to spar another big guy in Season 3 (which aired earlier on the 2025 TV schedule). But fans knew what he would be getting into with the last season from the jump, as even the trailer showed Jack Reacher getting beaten up. Now that he’s filming Season 4, that action is continuing, as the actor shared a video to Instagram showing off a black eye, saying that work on Reacher’s “been a little rough this year.”

It’s unclear what specific adventures await Jack Reacher in Season 4, but it appears the show is going all out… with boxing references intended. After all, Richtson isn’t new to such rough situations since Reacher isn’t his only role that involves taking a beating. In fact, he was already beaten and bruised for a film he completed just before the shooting of Reacher Season 4 started as well.

Additionally, he often jumps headfirst into the action of this series that can be streamed using an Amazon Prime membership.

When it comes to the specific experiences he encountered during filming the series Reacher, he was hurled against a wall about a dozen times consecutively and even lost consciousness during the shooting of the third season. Furthermore, Olivier Richters, who plays Paulie in the show, stated to TopMob that the fight scene between Reacher and Paulie was the “most grueling physically” for both of them. In other words, Reacher is a demanding production from a physical standpoint, and that’s an understatement.

Fortunately, “Reacher” isn’t solely focused on Alan Ritchson’s character enduring constant beatings. Instead, it offers a wealth of dramatic and action-packed scenes that don’t necessitate injury. Moreover, there are numerous instances where Ritchson is seen without a shirt, which makes one wonder who the lucky photographer must be.

We don’t know exactly when Reacher Season 4 will air, but it will be well worth the wait, especially if it involves Jack Reacher taking more beatings. Admittedly, I’m curious to find out how he got that black eye, and I hope the series addresses that mystery. In the meantime, fans can enjoy behind-the-scenes content from Ritchson as they stream the first three seasons of Reacher on Prime Video.
