Reacher has been renewed for season 5 at Prime Video.
The streaming service made the announcement Monday ahead of Amazon’s upfront presentation. This renewal also comes before the release of the show’s season 4 premiere.
Prime Video credits the early renewal to the show’s popularity. Season 3 earned 54.6 million viewers worldwide in its first 19 days on Prime Video, according to numbers from the streamer. Season 4 is set to continue the show’s high-stakes storytelling. It will find Alan Ritchson back in his starring role of Jack Reacher.
The streamer will release new details on the upcoming season 5 at a later time.
Season 4 is based on Lee Child’s 13th book in his bestselling book series, which is titled Gone Tomorrow. It follows what happens “when a chance encounter with a distraught stranger on a subway goes horribly wrong,” according to an official synopsis. “Jack Reacher is drawn into a complex and deadly game that pits him against ruthless foes from the highest echelons of power.”
Chris Marquette, Sydelle Noel, AGNEZ MO, Anggun, Kevin Weisman, Marc Blucas, Kevin Corrigan and Kathleen Roberston join the show’s cast in season 4.
“From Lee Child’s globally beloved novels to its standout onscreen adaptation, Reacher has evolved into a true powerhouse franchise,” Peter Friedlander, the head of global television at Amazon MGM Studios, said. “The series’ ability to combine high-octane action with compelling character storytelling continues to resonate with tens of millions of viewers around the world. We’re excited to move forward with a fifth season ahead of season four’s debut and to build on this incredible momentum.”

Janet Jackson’s Rhythm Nation 1814 album was inducted into the Grammy Hall of Fame Saturday. Reflecting on the achievement, she said in a speech that the 1989 album continues to resonate in 2026.
“Rhythm Nation still resonates on a deep and profound level. It’s an ongoing force that fights bigotry and promotes understanding. It cannot be stopped,” she said. “It’s simply too strong and too positive. Rhythm Nation is a movement of people of all ages and backgrounds seeking to give and receive love, free of judgment.”
She noted her hope for the album, which “transcends all borders, nationalities and faiths,” is “that we might live in a world free of fear and despair.”
“The prayer driving this Rhythm Nation remains the same, exactly the same, that peace prevails,” Janet said. “Peace the world over, peace among nations, peace in our neighborhoods, peace in our homes. May the music of Rhythm Nation continue to bring us together in peace and may that peace allow us to celebrate this precious gift of life that God has given us.”
Among the other albums inducted into the Hall of Fame class were Paid in Full by Eric B. and Rakim, Maggot Brain by Funkadelic — featuring George Clinton, who was joined byErykah Badu and Blackbyrd McKnight for a performance of “Can You Get to That” —and 2Pac’s All Eyez on Me, which E.D.I. Mean accepted on behalf of the late rapper.
“Thank you to the Recording Academy for this incredible honor,” E.D.I. said during his speech. “I’m sure Tupac is smiling big and saying, ‘I told you I was a legend.’”

(NEW YORK) — Beachgoers planning out their summer swims on the East Coast may take a moment to consider the yearly arrival of a famed ocean predator.
A juvenile white shark named Nori has been coasting its way north along the eastern seaboard and pinged a shark-tracking system off the coasts of New Jersey and New York last week.
According to OCEARCH, a nonprofit tracking shark movements, Nori is “the first tagged white shark on the Global Shark Tracker to begin this year’s seasonal northward jump.”
Nori, an eight-foot ten-inch female pinged the tracking system off the coast of south New Jersey on Tuesday night, again further north off the coast on Wednesday night, and by Friday night, the shark had pinged off the coast of Long Island around Southampton, New York, according to an OCEARCH map.
“Juvenile white sharks are not typically among the first sharks to begin this northward movement, making Nori’s early migration particularly interesting to follow,” OCEARCH senior data scientist John Tyminski said in a statement.
“The first sharks to move north are often the larger adults and subadults, possibly because their size allows them to tolerate colder waters more effectively,” Tyminski added.
Nori was first tagged in Nova Scotia in October of last year, and had since traveled south to the coast of the Carolinas for the winter before making its move north this spring.
The post from the nonprofit shared, “Nori’s movement north from the staging areas off the Carolinas may signal that the larger seasonal migration of western North Atlantic white sharks is not too far off.”
How to stay safe from sharks in the ocean this summer
As temperatures begin to rise and beachgoers flock to sandy shores this summer, swimmers can follow a few simple guidelines to take caution and reduce the risk of a shark attack.
In a website message, the New York State Department of Environmental Conservation says, “Humans assume risk whenever they enter any wild environment, whether on land or in the water. When in the ocean, part of this risk includes interacting with apex predators such as sharks.”
The message continues explaining that although eliminating all risk is not possible, “people can modify their behavior to minimize potential interactions with sharks and reduce overall risk.”
The department recommends “avoiding areas with seals,” staying clear of areas with “schools of fish, splashing fish, or diving seabirds,” keep swimming times during daytime hours and “avoid swimming at dusk, night, and dawn.”
The department also recommends avoiding murky waters and listening to lifeguard and park staff instructions at all times.
“The vast majority of unprovoked incidents are the result of test bites, which occur when a shark misidentifies a human as their preferred prey,” the site reads.
“There is no evidence which suggests that sharks in New York are intentionally pursuing or ‘attacking’ humans,” the message finished.

After she finishes her May dates, Meghan Patrick is canceling the rest of her 2026 shows to focus on the upcoming birth of her first child with husband Mitchell Tenpenny.
“This is hard to say, but I need to be honest with myself and with y’all… I was wrong,” she begins on Instagram. “When I found out I was pregnant, my first thought after the excitement was, ‘How is this going to affect my career?’ I was determined not to slow down.”
“I thought I had to prove that pregnancy wouldn’t change anything and that I could push through no matter what,” she continues. “But over the last few weeks, after a lot of conversations with my doctor, my family, my team and Mitchell, I’ve realized I was wrong to think that I had anything to prove. More importantly, I’ve realized my health and my baby girl’s well-being have to come first.”
Meghan’s much-wanted pregnancy happened to come at the same time the Canadian native was experiencing her biggest success in the States so far, as “Golden Child” became a top-20 hit.
“A lot of this tour was booked before I knew I was pregnant, and before I understood just how physically and mentally difficult this season would be,” she goes on. “Between complications, hospital visits, exhaustion, and the anxiety that comes with experiencing a previous miscarriage, I’ve had to take a hard look at what’s truly important right now.”
Meghan has three more May dates before she starts her break from the road. Fans with tickets can get a refund at the point of purchase.
In the meantime, the mother-to-be plans to keep writing and making music, with an eye toward rescheduling her canceled Golden Child shows when she’s able.
