Jack will take on his fiercest foe yet in “Reacher” Season 4.

The next season of Prime Video's popular action series, based on author Lee Child's mega-successful novels, is adapting ‘Gone Tomorrow,” which introduces a notoriously nasty antagonist.

Published May 19th 2009, “Gone Tomorrow” is the thirteenth book in the Jack Reacher series.

It sees the crime-fighting juggernaut, played by Alan Ritchson in the live-action adaption, investigating a bizarre suicide he witnessed. 

Unless Prime Video massively diverts course, which nobody expects to happen, the villain he'll go up against is terrorist and torture-lover Lila Hoth.

Without spoiling anything, Hoth is a master manipulator with a sadistic streak. For example, she and her terror cell have a habit of disembowelling their victims while recording the act and sending them out on DVDs.

‘Reacher’ Season 4 Villain

The villain in “Reacher” Season 4 is Lila Hoth. She will be played by actor Agnez Mo, an award-winning Indonesian singer and songwriter who has performed with Chris Brown and Ciara. "Reacher" is her first major acting credit.

In “Reacher” Season 3, the villain is Paulie, played by Olivier Richters. While the largest foe Reacher has faced yet, he wasn't nearly on the same level intelligence-wise.

Hoth, on the other hand, presents both a psychological and physical threat. At one point in the source material she has a vicious knife fight with Reacher, resulting in a substantial amount of damage.

‘Reacher’ Season 4 Release date

Prime Video has not yet confirmed the release date for “Reacher” Season 4, but it is expected to premier in mid-2027 on Amazon's streaming platform.
