Season 4 is currently airing, and the show has already been renewed for a fifth season as well. The bad news? You only get one episode per week. That means biting your nails until it's time for the next episode or waiting until September 16th when the season finale streams and you can binge all eight episodes.
Whatever option you choose, you can fill the holes with plenty of other action thriller shows. Some of these only have a single season, but that's precisely why they're perfect to watch between episodes, binge-watching a few episodes per night. A few have multiple seasons, so you can binge away to your heart's content. In fact, there might even be enough episodes to continue once Reacher Season 4 has ended. Each of these shows will scratch the same itch.
Colter Shaw (Justin Hartley) scales a wall in the 'Tracker' episode "No Good Deed" Image via CBS The show that Reacher is most often compared to is Tracker . Both are shows based on books that became TV's biggest franchises . Both also follow a lone-wolf protagonist who often teams up with others as he moves from place to place, living as a nomad (or hobo, as Reacher says). In Tracker , Colter Shaw ( Justin Hartley ) is a survivalist who takes on private cases to search for missing persons. He gets paid in reward money if he successfully brings them home. Of course, he always does.
Reacher is harder-hitting, more violent, and its protagonist is more threatening, with stakes much higher for each case. But Colter encounters dangerous cases, too. As a network show, Tracker has more of a procedural feel with a different case in every episode versus a main one across an entire season, but this makes it easy to binge. You can watch as many episodes as you want without feeling like the story is unfinished if you decide to abandon it and go back later.
Fola Evans-Akingbola as Chelsea Arrington and Gabriel Basso as Peter Sutherland in Season 3 of 'The Night Agent.' Image via Netflix Another show featuring a lone-wolf protagonist, Peter Sutherland ( Gabriel Basso ) is a talented young FBI agent in The Night Agent who lacks the same level of maturity and in-field experience as Reacher ( Alan Ritchson ). But when he is thrust into a dangerous case in Season 1, he proves his skill, intelligence, and duty to his country and to saving innocent lives, a moral code that's very much like Reacher's.
Also like Reacher , The Night Agent gets better with every season, with the action, intensity, cast, and nature of the cases becoming far more compelling each time. The Night Agent is ending after its upcoming fourth and final season,…
