During San Diego Comic-Con, Prime Video unleashed trailers for the fourth season of its hit series “Reacher,” starring Alan Ritchson (“Motor City”), and the spinoff show “Neagley,” led by Maria Sten. There is now word that some well-known Canadian actors have joined Season 5 of the mainstay action-packed series, one of the more popular Prime originals, that happens to shoot in Canada.
Deadline has revealed that funny man Jay Baruchel (“This Is The End,” “Goon”) and veteran genre actor Kevin Durand (“Abigail,” “Naked Gun,” “Kingdom of the Planet of the Apes”) have taking key roles alongside other newcomers to the show such as Amanda Ip (“Transplant,” “Plan B,” “Cross”) and Ciara Bravo (“Voicemails for Isabelle,” “The Most Dangerous Game”).

The outlet added that the fifth season of “Reacher” is going to be based on creator/author Lee Child‘s 20th book in the series, ”Make Me.”:
“After his train stops in the mysterious town of Mother’s Rest, Reacher teams up with a private investigator in the search for a missing person and uncovers a dangerous and deadly criminal conspiracy.”
Those new roles will see Baruchel (who previously had to exit another Season 4 part) play Chief Buck Bauer, Durand as Nokes, Ip as Michelle Chang, and Bravo as Eunice. Others joining the show include Sydelle Noel, Chris Marquette, AGNEZ MO, Anggun, Kevin Weisman, Marc Blucas, Kevin Corrigan, and Kathleen Robertson.
The series hails from Paramount Television Studios and Amazon MGM Studios and is written for television by Nick Santora (“FUBAR,” “Prison Break”), who serves as showrunner and executive producer on “Reacher.” Chil and Ritchson also serve as executive producers on Season 4, alongside Don Granger, Scott Sullivan, Mick Betancourt, Lisa Kussner, Sam Hill, Amy Pocha and Seth Cohen.
Audiences should be happy to learn that Season 4 of “Reacher” is coming to the streaming service on August 12, so the wait is minimal with July on the cusp of ending soon.
