Will Reacher Season 4 Include Flashback Scenes Featuring Jenkins?
It Is Unknown What Novel Reacher Season 4 Will Adapt
While Jenkins would love to play a younger version of the titular character again in theupcomingReacherseason 4, it is currently unknown if he will be needed. During season 1 of the Prime Video series, many flashbacks featured Reacher and his brother Joe as children. In the flashbacks,Jenkins portrayed Reacher as a kid who wasn’t afraid to stand up to bullies. This ended up getting him in trouble, as he got in a fight with the son of one of his father’s superiors.
Reacherseason 4 has been confirmed and production will begin this summer.
Even though there were repercussions for his actions, Reacher knew he was doing the right thing.These season 1 flashback scenes were important to establish what kind of character Reacher is, as well as his relationship with his brother. However, the following seasons ofReacherdidn’t require flashback scenes to his childhood. It is currently unknownwhat bookReacherseason 4 will adapt, but depending on the choice, there is a chance that Jenkins will be asked to reprise his role.
Our Take On Jenkins' Comments About Reprising His Reacher Role
Jenkins Played A Convincing Young Reacher
Since otherJack Reachernovels other thanThe Killing Floor, which is what season 1 was based on, include flashbacks and references to Reacher’s childhood,there’s a chance that season 4 will once again have scenes that feature a younger version of the titular character. If this is the case, it would make sense to bring Jenkins back. While some of the flashback scenes in season 1 were a little cheesy, ifReacherseason 4’s narrative needs more scenes from his childhood, then it would be great to have Jenkins back in the role.
