Alan Ritchson shared a video on his social media, joking that acting is his side job until he achieves one desired goal. In the video, he appeared to be playing football, with the caption suggesting that the clip was from Season 2. Reacher Season 5 was announced a few months before the release of Season 4 and currently remains in production.
Alan Ritchson shares old Reacher Season 2 set video posted by fan account
Ritchson reposted a video from a fan account on his Instagram story. In the clip, he said that he practices football a lot on the sets of Reacher. He claimed that becoming a football player is his “real dream.” He joked that this acting career is like a side job for him until he enters his “Dwayne Johnson league.”
Ritchson showcased his skills, claiming he could play as a linebacker, tight end, and quarterback. He demonstrated his footwork, tossed a pass that he called “beautiful,” and joked that he looked like a pitcher. He then looked directly at the camera and asked to be drafted into the NFL already. He wrote in the story, “This fan account makes me laugh. Love you whoever you are.”
This reshare also comes amid Ritchson’s funny response to a fan about the timeline for Reacher Season 5. A fan asked him on Threads that they have already started missing the show and how much longer it would take for another season release. He wrote, “Over half way done filming… Means a baker’s dozen of dead goons… Winter is upon us… times four, carry the three… I don’t know like… ten years or less.”
The upcoming season will be based on Lee Child’s “Make Me,” the 20th novel in the Jack Reacher series. Although a release date hasn’t been announced, it could be expected sometime in late summer or fall 2027.
