REACHER Season 4 Adds Jay Baruchel, Sydelle Noel, Agnez Mo, and More to the Cast — GeekTyrant
Prime Video has announced eight new cast members for Reacher Season 4, the hit series based on Lee Child's bestselling novels. With Alan Ritchson back as the badass drifter-turned-enforcer, this season is diving into Gone Tomorrow , the 13th book in the series. Among the newest additions we have Jay Baruchel ( Fubar ), who plays Jacob Merrick, a small-town cop whose path crosses with Reacher. Sydelle Noel ( GLOW ) plays Tamara Green, a sharp detective out of Philadelphia. She'll be paired with Kevin Corrigan ( Poker Face ) as her partner, Detective Docherty. Meanwhile, Agnez Mo steps into the role of Lila Hoth, a young Indonesian woman searching for her American biological father. Her mother, Amisha Hoth, will be played by Indonesian-French singer Anggun (Levitating). On the recurring side, Kevin Weisman ( Marvel's Runaways ) plays Russell Plum, a D.C.-based freelance journalist with his eye on a possible CIA black site. Marc Blucas ( My Life with the Walter Boys ) will portray Congressman John Samson, with Kathleen Robertson ( The Expanse ) as his wife, Elsbeth. Season 4 kicks off with a tense encounter on a late-night train that spirals into a dangerous conspiracy involving political power players and covert ops. Gone Tomorrow follows Reacher back into the chaos of New York City and Washington, D.C., where he witnesses something disturbing on a late-night subway: a woman showing all the signs of a potential suicide bomber. Reacher doesn't back away. He confronts her. But before he can get real answers, she pulls out a gun and ends her own life right in front of him. From there, things spiral into a dark conspiracy involving the Pentagon, buried secrets, and people who really don't want Reacher asking questions. Behind the scenes, showrunner Nick Santora returns, executive producing alongside Lee Child and star Alan Ritchson. Source: Deadline

Joe Biden Surprises ‘Reacher' Star Alan Ritchson on Set, Actor Says Meet-Up Was ‘A Privilege and Honor'
Former President Joe Biden and his son Hunter paid a surprise visit Monday morning to the 'Reacher' Season 4 set in Philadelphia. Jack Reacher himself, actor Alan Ritchson, posted Tuesday on Instagram about the Bidens' visit, calling it a 'a privilege and honor to meet the Biden family.' Accompanying videos and photos of him with the Biden men, the 'Reacher' star wrote, 'So our 'Reacher' set got in the way of these legends.' He went on to have nothing but good things to say about the former U.S. president and his son. 'They couldn't have been more lovely. Kind, joyful, gracious and present,' Ritchson captioned his Instagram post. 'We chatted briefly about simple stuff, like string theory and quantum entanglement. Then Joe beat me at arm wrestling. All in a day's work.' According to an eyewitness who spoke to CBS Philadelphia Monday, Biden just so happened to be in the same area in Philadelphia at the same time as the 'Reacher' cast and crew. The eyewitness said that the 'Reacher' team was filming a police chase when several black SUVs suddenly pulled up. 'Out walked these men, that I thought they were actors, but then the entire cast and crew started clapping and cheering,' the eyewitness said of Biden's 'Reacher' set entrance. Former President Biden's surprising, real-life 'Reacher' crossover moment came less than a month after it was announced that he had been diagnosed with an aggressive form of prostate cancer. In late May, CNN anchor Jake Tapper also published 'Original Sin,' his book detailing the behind-the-scenes efforts that were made to cover up Biden's cognitive decline while he was still in office. Ritchson's comments, meanwhile, do not mark the first time the 'Reacher' star has dipped his toes into political waters. In February, Ritchson also blasted Matt Gaetz, the former Florida congressman who has been accused of child sex trafficking and statutory rape and who withdrew his nomination to serve as U.S. attorney general during Donald Trump's second presidential term. Gaetz was once a classmate of Ritchson's, and the actor called him a 'motherf—ker' and told GQ of his former schoolmate, 'We are adversaries.' Amazon's Prime Video has not yet announced a premiere date for 'Reacher' Season 4. The series' third season concluded its eight-episode run in late March. The post Joe Biden Surprises 'Reacher' Star Alan Ritchson on Set, Actor Says Meet-Up Was 'A Privilege and Honor' appeared first on TheWrap.
