The fifth season of Reacher is already guaranteed, along with the sixth season, which was confirmed on September 28th. With that, it was also revealed that the season will cover the twentieth book in Lee Child's series.
Which book will season 5 of Reacher adapt?
The fifth season will adapt Child's 20th book, called Make Me. The story is very similar to the first season, with Reacher (Alan Ritchson) arriving in a town in Oklahoma called Mother's Rest and realizing that something strange is happening there.
As he begins his investigation, he meets investigator Michelle Chang (Amanda Ip), who ends up becoming Reacher's assistant during the adventure. Together, the pair uncover a sinister conspiracy, the details of which remain unclear.
Here's the full synopsis of the book: "Jack Reacher has nowhere to go, but all the time in the world to get there. A remote train stop on the prairie, curiously named Mother's Rest, seems perfect for a brief, aimless stay. He expects to find only the lonely gravestone of a pioneer amidst a sea of nearly ripe wheat. Instead, he finds a woman waiting for a missing colleague, an enigmatic message about two hundred deaths, and a small town teeming with silent, vigilant people. Reacher's one-day stop transforms into an investigation with no set deadline, leading him to the most hidden corners of the internet and straight into the heart of a terrifying nightmare."
Given the heavy mystery surrounding the book, the author himself considered how the adaptation would be handled. "Make Me — which is the book they're adapting — will be the fifth season. I don't know how they're going to do it, because it's a brutal story. I mean, it's a disgusting story, actually. It's not something suitable for a family audience, so I don't know what they're going to do about the crime itself. The setting is relatively rural, you know? Those vast plains, cornfields and all that," the author told Collider.
