This is an exciting year for the Reacher fandom. The franchise is not only returning for a new season, but even before the premiere of Season 4, the show has already been confirmed to return for another season. That means there will be plenty of new action in store for the former U.S. Army major. However, for now, the focus remains on the upcoming fourth season.

With only a few days left until the premiere, there is much hype surrounding the show and its episodes. While the secrets and action can be found out as the season progresses, here is a look at the runtime of each episode.
