Amazon MGM Studios has officially tapped Barry star Christoper Rodriguez-Marquette for the role of a small-town policeman named Jacob Merrick in the upcoming Reacher Season 4. This comes after more than a week since production on the hit Prime Video series began.
“When a chance encounter with a distraught stranger on a train goes horribly wrong, Jack Reacher is drawn into a complex and deadly game that pits him against ruthless foes from the highest echelons of power,” reads the synopsis for Season 4.
Why was Jay Baruchel’s role recasts in Reacher Season 4?
Rodriguez-Marquette will be replacing previously announced cast member Jay Baruchel (How to Train Your Dragon), whose casting was announced earlier this month. Baruchel has reportedly exited the project due to a personal matter he needed to attend to.
Also joining lead star Alan Ritchson in Reacher Season 4 are Indonesian superstar Agnez Mo (Pernikahan Dini, The Hospital) as Lila Hoth, Sydelle Noel (Black Panther) as Tamara Green, Anggun (Levitating) as Amisha Hoth, Kevin Weisman (Marvel’s Runaways) as Russell Plum, Marc Blucas (My Life with the Walter Boys) as John Samson, Kevin Corrigan (Poker Face) as Detective Docherty, and Kathleen Robertson (The Expanse) as Elsbeth Samson.
The next chapter will be based on the 13th book in Lee Child’s global best-selling Jack Reacher novel series, titled Gone Tomorrow. The series is written and executive produced by showrunner Nick Santora. In addition to starring, Ritchson is executive producing alongside Child, Don Granger, Scott Sullivan, Mick Betancourt, Lisa Kussner, Sam Hill, Amy Pocha and Seth Cohen, David Ellison, Dana Goldberg, and Matt Thunell. It hails from Amazon MGM Studios, Skydance Television, and Paramount Television Studios.
