Season 4 of Reacher may be in the middle of its run on the 2026 TV schedule, but Season 5 is already coming in hot. Production on the fifth season of the book-to-screen adaptation has begun, and it’s already seeming like it’s a tough one. Alan Ritchson shared a humorously honest take on filming in the snow during the summer, and even smashed a cake in a crew member’s face. As if that wasn’t enough, the Reacher star has been sharing “proof of life” videos, and I’m obsessed.
Ritchson is known for sharing BTS content while filming Reacher and showing off the bruises and bloodbath he’s had to endure throughout production. However, that’s not all he posts from set. Every once in a while, he uploads a video proving that he’s still alive amid the incredibly tough production. His recent update on Instagram might be my favorite one because not only does it look like Jack Reacher is getting beat up quite a lot in the upcoming season, but he claims not one person came to check to see if he’s still alive after he “made it down the gosh dang rapids” and ended up in “God knows where.”
