"Reacher" is undeniably one of the biggest hits for Prime Video. The first three seasons have been critically and commercially successful for the streaming service — I loved season 3 when I reviewed it here at Tom's Guide — and it wasn't surprising when the show was officially renewed for season 4. Now, with production in full swing, we've gotten a first look at a major cast member.
Via @rikiwichman, a fan account on Instagram, we finally got a first look at Sydelle Noel, who has joined the "Reacher" season 4 cast as Tamara Green. They initially posted the announcement back on June 18 when Noel was officially added to the cast, but revised the post yesterday (Aug. 11), complete with new set photos of Noel as Green (via Getty Images).
The set photos of Sydelle smartly dressed in a professional yet functional outfit don't reveal much about her character, but her character's name reveals everything. That's because Tamara Green was originally Theresa Lee, and that means she's Alan Ritchson's love interest for season 4.
For those less familiar with "Reacher," they're based on the "Jack Reacher" novel series by Lee Child, and that means if we know what book a season is based on, then we know a decent amount about what to expect from a given season.
We know season 4 is based on the novel "Gone Tomorrow," thanks to an Alan Ritchson post on Instagram a few months ago. And in that installment of the series, Jack Reacher's love interest is none other than NYPD detective Theresa Lee.
That makes this first look a pretty major one for "Reacher" season 4, as past love interests — Roscoe Conklin (Willa Fitzgerald), Serinda Swan (Karla Dixon) and Susan Duffy (Sonya Cassidy) — all played major roles in their given seasons, arguably costarring alongside Ritchson. So definitely don't expect this to be the last you see of Tamara Green between now and the "Reacher" season 4 release on Prime Video.
Everything we know about 'Reacher' season 4
So far, we know that "Reacher" season 4 will bring back Alan Ritchson as the titular, mammoth Jack Reacher, a former U.S. Army military police major whose skills allow him to solve any case and kick any butt. We also know that season 4 will be adapting "Gone Tomorrow," which has Reacher drawn into a deadly game against dangerous people after a fraught, chance encounter with a stranger on a train.
Aside from that, we know to expect some new faces this season, as "Reacher" largely resets its cast each season. Only Ritchson as Reacher and Maria Sten as Frances Neagley have appeared in all three seasons to date.
Of course, we know Noel will be a major part of the season 4 cast as Reacher's love interest, Green, but we also know a few other cast members joining this season.
Christopher Rodriguez-Marquette is playing Jacob Merrick, a small-town police officer with a big role in season 4. Jay Baruchel was originally cast as Merrick but had to leave for personal reasons.
Rodriguez-Marquette, Ritchson and Noel are joined by Agnez Mo and Anggun as Lila and Amisha Hoth, who we are expecting to be the villains this season. Kevin Corrigan is playing Green's partner, NYPD Detective Docherty, Marc Blucas is politician John Samson and Kathleen Robertson is his wife, Elsbeth. Kevin Weisman is also on board as Russell Plum, the lone character that, as far as we can tell, isn't in the novel "Gone Tomorrow."
The big question that remains? Will Sten return for a fourth season as Neagley? I hope so, but there's nothing official yet. She might be too busy with her "Reacher" spin-off, "Neagley," which is currently in production.
