The third season of Reacher is not set to premiere in 2025, but Amazon Prime Video has already provided another update on the show’s future. According to reporting in ColliderReacher has already been renewed for a fourth season. This news comes just days after Prime Video announced that they would also start production on a spin-off series focused on Maria Sten’s Neagley.

Reacher has remained one of Prime Video’s best-performing shows, so it’s perhaps unsurprising that the series is piling up additional seasons. Based on a series of best-selling novels that were already adapted into feature films, Reacher has proven to be the ideal format for these stories.

“Reacher has become a phenomenon that continues to resonate with our global customers beyond our wildest expectations and we are thrilled to bring the series back for an additional season,” Vernon Sanders, head of television, Amazon MGM Studios said in a statement. “We are looking forward to more action and adventure from the immensely talented team behind the series including Nick Santora, Alan Ritchson, Lee Child, Skydance, and CBS Studios.”

Alan Ritchson, the show’s star, has already revealed that the show will be headed in a more “classical” direction for its third season. The season will adapt the novel Persauder, the seventh in the series, and will see Reacher going undercover to rescue an informant.

“We get to enjoy Reacher in a new world,” Ritchson told Collider. “It may not have anything to do with family, with his past; he’s just living that adventure out, and that’s kind of the direction that we’ve gone, and it seems to really be working.”

Stranger Things is set to conclude with its fifth and final season almost a full decade after the first season premiered. One of the reasons for the wait ahead of season 5, though, is apparently that the eight episodes in the fifth season are incredibly long.

Maya Hawke, who joined the show as Robin Buckley in its third season, recently appeared on Podcrushed to discuss the upcoming season, and particularly how long it took to make.

Seth Rogen has been one of the world's most famous and popular comedic actors going back almost 20 years. From collaborations with James Franco to his superhero renaissance in recent years, Rogen finds ways to change up his schtick while remaining culturally relevant with a firm understanding of the contemporary pulse of funny. While his humor may not be for everyone, it's unlikely you haven't at least seen one movie or show in which Rogen has featured.

His latest effort, The Studio, is coming to Apple TV+ in 2025 and features a slew of celebrity cameos and guest appearances. The Apple TV+ press site gives a good synopsis of what's to come. "In 'The Studio,' Seth Rogen stars as Matt Remick, the newly appointed head of embattled Continental Studios. As movies struggle to stay alive and relevant, Matt and his core team of infighting executives battle their insecurities as they wrangle narcissistic artists and craven corporate overlords in the ever-elusive pursuit of making great films. With their power suits masking their never-ending sense of panic, every party, set visit, casting decision, marketing meeting, and award show presents them with an opportunity for glittering success or career-ending catastrophe. As someone who eats, sleeps, and breathes movies, it’s the job Matt’s been pursuing his whole life, and it may very well destroy him."
