AceShowbiz - The wait for Reacher season 4 may seem long, but fans of the Alan Ritchson series have reason to celebrate with an update on another Prime Video crime series. As reports confirm, Reacher season 4 will adapt Lee Child's Gone Tomorrow, often touted as one of the best books in the Jack Reacher series. This alone makes it hard not to look forward to the hit Prime Video action thriller's next installment.

While filming Reacher season 4, Alan Ritchson has been dropping several exciting updates about its action scenes, raising even more anticipation for its release. However, since Reacher season 4 is not releasing on Prime Video anytime soon, viewers would be glad that the streaming service has dropped a new update for another show. Prime Video has announced that Cross season 2 will be released on February 11, 2026, which promises to be out before Reacher season 4 and potentially ease the wait for the Alan Ritchson series' return.

Cross season 2's confirmed release date comes in the wake of two major cancellations on Prime Video. While Cross has managed to get renewed and land a confirmed release date, Butterfly and Countdown have been canceled after their opening seasons. This establishes that Prime Video is being very strategic with its dad shows instead of moving forward with every other addition to the action thriller genre.

Despite being one of the few action thrillers that have managed to return, Cross is far from being Prime Video's best dad show offering. Unlike Reacher's three seasons, its first installment received a more mixed response from viewers and critics. While it still landed an overall score of 76% on Rotten Tomatoes, it has a long way to go before it matches Reacher's nearly unanimous acclaim. Considering how well-written Reacher is, Cross season 2 will have to bring its A-game to keep fans engaged until Reacher season 4 arrives.

For now, Cross season 2's release on February 11, 2026, will have to fill the void left by the absence of Reacher season 4. With its confirmed release date, Prime Video is giving fans something to look forward to, even if it's not the Alan Ritchson series they're eagerly awaiting. As the wait for Reacher season 4 continues, Cross season 2's return can certainly provide some much-needed action and thrills to keep fans entertained.
