The latest season of Alan Ritchson-starrer Reacher has arrived, delivering strong action but a weaker critical reception. So far, Reacher Season 4 holds the show’s lowest Rotten Tomatoes rating.

At the time of publication, Reacher Season 4 has an 87 percent score on Rotten Tomatoes’ Tomatometer, based on 15 reviews.

The new rating remains fresh, but it falls below every earlier season. Season 1 got 92 percent, while Seasons 2 and 3 each earned 98 percent. This means Season 4 of the Alan Ritchson-led series has its lowest score yet.

Prime Video will officially drop the first three episodes on August 12. Meanwhile, new episodes will then arrive every Wednesday through September 16.

The season adapts Lee Child’s 13th Jack Reacher novel, Gone Tomorrow. The story begins when Reacher comes across a troubled woman on a New York subway. Her death pulls him into a dangerous conspiracy involving powerful enemies.

What are critics saying about Reacher Season 4?

Critics praise Alan Ritchson’s performance, brutal action, and the season’s darker approach. However, some believe the new episodes lack the fun of previous ones. M.N. Miller from FandomWire wrote, “Reacher’s fourth season is less bold, less brash, and less fun, but still as brutal as ever.”

David Caballero from Collider felt the season had a major tonal shift. He wrote, “With its fourth chapter, Reacher goes full neo-noir, embracing the genre’s fatalistic, gloomy approach while staying true to its action roots.”

The Playlist’s Warren Cantrell said, “All the basic components for success are here in Season 4… It’s just not much fun, and the writing and acting are occasionally so bad that it can make a person almost embarrassed to watch.”

ScreenRant’s Craig Elvy praised the season’s carefully designed action scenes. He shared, “If Reacher season 3 with Paulie was a blunt hammer (albeit a very effective one), season 4 is a razor-sharp scalpel, taking extra care to craft set-pieces the audience haven’t seen elsewhere.”

Alan Ritchson returns as Jack Reacher in the new season. Maria Sten also appears as Frances Neagley. Despite its record-low score, the season remains well-reviewed overall and continues the franchise’s story.
