I gotta say, it’s been very easy to grow accustomed to seeing Alan Ritchson’s nomadic hulk Reacher hit the small screen each year with new seasons, and I’m as primed as anyone for Reacher Season 4 to arrive at some point after the 2025 TV lineup has faded into memory. That apparently won’t be the only place to watch the Titans vet in the near future, as he’s set to join the world of reality TV for an intense new project.
Ritchson will bring his winning personality and charisma out in full force as the host of an unscripted survival competition series called Predator vs. Prey. (I was admittedly somewhat disappointed to learn that this wasn’t, in fact, about humanoid extraterrestrials.) This series will feature cast members culled from other hit reality shows, following in the footsteps of all-star competition series like Battle Camp, with The Traitors arguably being the most zeitgeisty of them all at the moment.
Variety reports that the contestants will come from shows that also take place in the wilderness. Examples listed include Naked & Afraid, Alone, Outlast, and the granddaddy of them all, Survivor. I can only assume that Predator vs. Prey will be quicker to loop in those who took part in the more head-to-head versions of Naked & Afraid, as opposed to the mothership series.
Predator film franchise, it does sound like Alan Ritchson is saying he wants to “Get to the choppah!” to travel to the great beyond.
For now, Predator vs. Prey doesn’t yet have a TV network or streaming service attached, but one can imagine that Ritchson’s involvement will spark a lot of interest. I wouldn’t be surprised if, like Reacher, it becomes exclusive to stream with an Amazon Prime subscription.
Alan Ritchson is currently in the process of filming Season 4 of Reacher, but will reprise the role before then for an appearance in the Neagley spinoff, as well as a big bloody role in the upcoming actioner Runner.
