Reacher Season 4 opened big, with three episodes at once, dropping fans straight into a new conspiracy pulled from Gone Tomorrow. The Lee Child adaptation pulls Reacher into a subway confrontation that spirals into a plot involving a woman’s suspicious suicide, a missing-persons trail, and a reach into national security.
But that binge-friendly start is officially over. Starting with Episode 4, Prime Video is switching Reacher to a weekly release, and fans now have a set date to plan around.
Reacher Season 4 Switches to Weekly Episodes Starting With Episode 4
Episode 4, titled “Karambits and Pieces,” is set to premiere on Prime Video on Wednesday, August 19, 2026, exactly one week after the season’s three-episode launch. Based on the platform’s standard rollout for its biggest originals, the episode should land at 12 a.m. PT and 3 a.m. ET in the US, with UK viewers able to catch it starting at 8 a.m. BST.
That timing lines up with how the first three episodes dropped the week prior, so fans who stayed up for the premiere should know the drill. From here, Reacher Season 4 settles into a strict weekly cadence through the rest of its eight-episode run.

After Episode 4, “Bridge” arrives on August 26, followed by “Plum Out of Luck” on September 2, “Vote for Sampson” on September 9, and the season finale, “Cut,” closing things out on September 16.
Interestingly, that finale date also happens to be when Prime Video drops all eight episodes of the Reacher spinoff Neagley, starring Maria Sten as Reacher’s longtime ally, giving fans a packed finish to the summer.
Season 4 finds Reacher pulled into a subway tragedy that spirals into a hunt for a stolen thumb drive and the people willing to kill for it, a plot that keeps the show’s trademark blend of paranoia and brutality intact. Season 5 has already been confirmed, so this case is only the beginning.
