Washington [US], October 9 : Prime Video has officially renewed its hit series 'Reacher' for a fourth season, even before the third season is set to premiere next year.

As per Deadline, the decision to renew 'Reacher' for a fourth season early signals Prime Video's confidence in the series, which has garnered significant popularity.
