Release Date and Time

Reacher season 4 episode 5, titled "Bridge," will debut on Prime Video on Wednesday, 26 August. According to Livemint, the new episode is expected to be available at 12:00 AM PT and 3:00 AM ET in the US. For viewers in India, that translates to 12:30 PM IST on the same day. Internationally, the episode is also set to release at 8am BST in the UK, 3pm SGT in Singapore, 5pm AEST in Australia, and 7pm NZST in New Zealand.

Season 4 of the action thriller consists of eight episodes and follows a weekly release schedule, with new instalments arriving every Wednesday through 16 September. The season began with a three-episode premiere, and episode 5 marks the midpoint of the season, with four episodes remaining after this week's installment.

Plot So Far

The season opened with Jack Reacher becoming suspicious of a woman on a New York City subway train whom he believes could be a suicide bomber. His intervention sets off a chain of events that pulls him into a wider CIA conspiracy. Over the first four episodes, the mystery has grown, with Reacher discovering that the case involves far more than the apparent threat he first encountered underground. The scale of the operation and the identities of those involved have gradually become central to the season's unfolding story.

Episode 5, "Bridge," is expected to continue that investigation as Reacher moves deeper into the conspiracy and attempts to establish who can be trusted. As reported by Livemint, the season is now approaching the point where its separate plot threads could begin to converge.

Series Background

Based on Lee Child's Jack Reacher novels, the Prime Video series stars Alan Ritchson as the former US Army military police officer. The show has become one of the platform's prominent action franchises, with its standalone seasons placing Reacher in a new investigation or criminal conspiracy each time.

The season 4 finale, scheduled for 16 September, coincides with the day that all episodes of the spinoff "Neagley" will arrive on Prime Video, a detail reported by Livemint.

What was claimed, and who backed it

AI-extracted; can misattribute a claim — see Methodology.

Each row is one claim, attributed to the outlet whose wording states it most clearly. Confidence rates how directly the source text states the claim — explicit and unhedged rates high; hedged, pieced-together, or internally inconsistent statements rate lower. It does not measure whether the claim is true. Status is Contested when two claims on this page negate each other; otherwise it counts the distinct outlets we found asserting it — so a single-source claim can still show high confidence, and a multi-source claim can show medium. Every one of those outlets is named beside the status, so you can check the count against the list. For claims extracted before we began storing that list, the row says so: it names the outlet the claim is quoted from and states that we have not recorded which outlets backed it. Outlets wrote at different times, so a figure that evolves — a casualty count, for example — can legitimately differ between rows; check the "as of" time next to each claim's source.
