“ Reacher ” has been renewed for Season 5 ahead of its fourth season premiere.

The action series starring Alan Ritchson is one of the most popular programs on Amazon Prime Video, where Season 3 captured 54.6 million viewers globally on Prime Video in its first 19 days, according to the streamer. Under that metric, “Reacher” earned the most-watched season on the service since “Fallout” Season 1.

The upcoming Season 4 is based on the 13th book in Lee Child’s “Jack Reacher” book franchise, titled “Gone Tomorrow.” “When a chance encounter with a distraught stranger on a subway 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,” according to the logline.

Additions to the cast include Chris Marquette, Sydelle Noel, Agnez Mo, Anggun, Kevin Weisman, Marc Blucas, Kevin Corrigan and Kathleen Robertson.

"From Lee Child's globally beloved novels to its standout on-screen adaptation, ‘Reacher’ has evolved into a true powerhouse franchise," said Peter Friedlander, head of global television at Amazon MGM Studios. "The series' ability to combine high-octane action with compelling character storytelling continues to resonate with tens of millions of viewers around the world. We're excited to move forward with a fifth season ahead of Season Four's debut and to build on this incredible momentum. We're grateful to our outstanding creative partners, cast, and crew — Nick, Alan, Lee, Paramount Television Group — for continuing to bring this world to life in such a bold and compelling way."

“Reached” is written by Nick Santora (“Fubar,” “Prison Break”), who executive produces and serves as showrunner. In addition to Santora and Child, Ritchson also serves as an EP alongside Don Granger, Scott Sullivan, Mick Betancourt, Lisa Kussner, Sam Hill, Amy Pocha and Seth Cohen. Carolyn Harris and Kenny Madrid are the executives in charge of the series for Paramount Television Studios.

The renewal news was announced out of the Amazon Prime Video upfronts on Monday.
