Reacher Faces Competition From Cross on Prime Video in 2026

Amazon Prime Video will host two high-profile crime thrillers next year: Cross returns for its second season on February 11, 2026, while Reacher is set to come back for a fourth season in late 2026. Cross arrives just over a year after its first season concluded, positioning both series to vie for the same audience.

Both shows follow a procedural, season-long case structure and center on physically imposing yet intellectually capable protagonists. Alex Cross (Aldis Hodge) is a detective and forensic psychologist who studies killers’ minds, and Jack Reacher (Alan Ritchson) is a former U.S.

Army military police major with extensive combat and investigative experience. Cross is supported by family and friends, including partner John Sampson (Isaiah Mustafa), while Reacher often operates alone. Critics have favored Reacher, with season averages in the 90s on Rotten Tomatoes and 98% for its second and third seasons.
