This week brings several interesting premieres for fans of TV series and streaming. Among them is the long-awaited return of Reacher, which once again takes viewers into a world full of action, investigations, and dangerous adversaries. Lanterns, one of the most important new productions in the expanding DC universe, will also debut on HBO Max. Fans of more offbeat shows can check out The Chosen in the Wild with Bear Grylls. Each of these productions offers a completely different vibe, so there will definitely be plenty to watch in the coming days.

Reacher returns with another dangerous case

The biggest premiere of the week on Prime Video is season 4 of Reacher, which comes back with a new story inspired by a Lee Child novel. Alan Ritchson once again plays Jack Reacher, a former military investigator who, as usual, ends up in the middle of an especially dangerous case. This time it all starts with a meeting with a mysterious woman on the subway, which leads the protagonist into a much larger investigation. Reacher will have to face new adversaries and rely on his experience to uncover what really happened. The new season is set to retain the show's distinctive mix of brutal action, crime, and dark humor. The first three episodes will be released at once, with new episodes arriving weekly. In total, the fourth season will consist of eight episodes. The popularity of previous installments has raised expectations for the new story very high. Amazon has already confirmed a season 5, so fans don't need to worry that this will be the character's final adventure. If you enjoy series full of chases, fights, and criminal puzzles, the new Reacher should be one of the first titles on your list.

Lanterns begins a new chapter of the DC universe

The second major premiere is Lanterns, a new DC series that is set to play a key role in the developing film and television universe. The story focuses on two Green Lanterns – the seasoned Hal Jordan and the young John Stewart. The heroes are tasked with investigating a mysterious murder case in the United States. What at first seems like a routine investigation quickly leads them toward a much greater threat. The creators aim to combine the tone of a police procedural with elements of science fiction, so Lanterns should stand apart from typical superhero fare. Kyle Chandler plays Hal Jordan, while Aaron Pierre portrays John Stewart. The first season will consist of eight episodes released weekly. Among the producers are Chris Mundy, Damon Lindelof, and Tom King. For DC this is a particularly important premiere, because Lanterns is meant to help build a new version of the onscreen universe. If the series succeeds in marrying a strong crime story with the spectacular world of the Green Lanterns, it could become one of DC’s most important new titles.

This week viewers can choose from three very different series. Reacher is for those looking for action, combat, and a crime mystery. Lanterns may appeal mainly to fans of DC and science fiction. Meanwhile, The Chosen in the Wild with Bear Grylls offers survival and adventure with actors known from the popular series. All three productions therefore have a completely different character. Lanterns may, however, draw the most interest, because the series has implications for the future of the entire DC universe.
