2026 has already been a huge year for Alan Ritchson, who was the headlining figure in the biggest Netflix movie of the year in War Machine. The film debuted back in March, and to reach the top spot, it had to dethrone The Rip, the Miami-set crime thriller starring Matt Damon and Ben Affleck. Not only did War Machine have no problem taking down Damon and Affleck’s gritty thriller, but it has also racked up over 125 million views since it arrived on the platform, with more coming in every day. Ritchson has also featured in some other big projects over the last few years, such as The Ministry of Ungentlemanly Warfare, the WWII action epic directed by Guy Ritchie. The film also stars Henry Cavill, but the film’s combined star power didn’t help it achieve success at the box office.
Ritchson has been acting in movies and TV shows for years now, but his star power can be traced directly back to Reacher, the Prime Video original series that first premiered back in 2022. Reacher has aired three full seasons with a fourth confirmed to be on the way later this year, and it’s not-so-quietly become one of Prime Video’s flagship properties, along with The Boys (starring Karl Urban) and Invincible (starring Steven Yeun). Plot details about Reacher Season 4 are still being kept under wraps before its Prime Video debut, but fans around the world are rushing to rewatch the first three seasons of the series, which has led it back into the global streaming top 10. The show is the perfect blend of John Wick and Zero Dark Thirty for fans of great action set against the backdrop of an intense conspiracy thriller.
Alan Ritchson Isn’t the First Jack Reacher
Alan Ritchson may be the definitive Jack Reacher for a generation of Reacher fans, but he isn’t the first person to take up the mantle of the legendary military operative. Tom Cruise starred in a pair of Jack Reacher movies in 2012 and 2016, but most fans agree that he was ill-suited to take on the role written by Lee Child, who has also distanced himself from the adaptations. Cruise’s first Jack Reacher movie is streaming on Paramount+, and the sequel is on Prime Video for fans willing to give it a chance.
Check out the first three seasons of Reacher on Prime Video and stay tuned to Collider for more updates and coverage of Season 4.
