Prime Video has had a big year in 2026 so far with new releases for some of its most popular shows, including both Invincible and The Boys. Prime Video subscribers are also on the lookout for the fourth season of Reacher, which is confirmed to premiere before the end of this year, but it’s still lacking an official premiere date. The show stars towering action icon Alan Ritchson, and Prime Video has so much faith in the series to perform that it’s already been picked up for Season 5. Reacher has become such a success that other platforms have attempted to recreate the show’s magic — Netflix has landed on The Night Agent as its closest replacement for the series. The hit conspiracy thriller stars Gabriel Basso, and while Netflix did renew it for another season, the streamer has confirmed that it will be the final season of the show.

Have you ever noticed that there are a fair amount of action heroes out there who share initials? Sure, folks have noted before just how many movie protagonists are named "Jack," but it's become common knowledge among fans of the action thriller that if you want to follow a tough-as-nails, highly intelligent, and capable military-trained protagonist, it's likely that the character will be another "J.R." Although the trend was truly established by the David Morrell novel First Blood, there are other "J.R.'s" of note beyond those from the military action thriller space.
