In a surprising development, Christopher Rodriguez-Marquette has been cast in "Reacher" Season 4, taking on the role of Jacob Merrick, a small-town policeman. This change comes after Jay Baruchel exited the role shortly after being announced due to personal reasons, as reported by Deadline. Sources indicate that Rodriguez-Marquette's casting was finalized just one day after the role went live.
Rodriguez-Marquette, known for his role in HBO’s "Barry," joins a star-studded cast alongside Alan Ritchson, reprising his iconic role as Jack Reacher. The series has consistently dominated the global streaming charts, remaining in Prime Video’s Top 10 most-viewed shows since Season 3's launch earlier this year, according to Screen Rant.
