Reacher star Alan Ritchson moves onto very different role before Prime Video drama returns

Alan Ritchson may still be working on hit action drama Reacher but he's also been busy with an entirely new project that's in the pipeline.

Reacher season three premiered on Prime Video earlier this year and fans were already at ease knowing there would be more to come, given season four was announced months before.

Nevertheless, subscribers are missing seeing actor Ritchson on their screens as the former US Army Military Police, in the adaptation of Lee Child's award-winning book series.

But while fans wait for season four to begin, the 42-year-old has another show on the horizon to keep viewers entertained in the meantime.

Ritchson will be taking a temporary step back from acting in order to act as the host of new survival competition series Predator vs Prey.

For 21 days, 15 veterans from survival shows like Naked and Afraid, Survivor, Alone and Outcast are going to be playing a high-stakes game of "wilderness hide and seek".

Split into two teams, the predators can win up to $500,000 by capturing Prey while the Prey can earn money every day they avoid getting caught.

As of yet, there has been no word on what channel the reality show will be on or when it is going to premiere with the series still in the works.

On top of his hosting duties, Ritson has been teased as Predator Vs Prey's "game master" and will be behind the scenes as an executive producer.

And given the star's experience working on action and survival shows and films, including Fast X, Smallville and The Hunger Games: Catching Fire, Ritchon is the perfect choice for the role

In a statement, Ritchson remarked: "Seeing the world's best survivalists pitted against each other in a high-octane game of hide-and-seek, all while surviving days or weeks in the most frighteningly unpredictable scenarios Mother Nature has to offer.

"TV doesn't get more exciting than this.

"I can't wait to be in the wild with these contestants."

Reacher is available to watch on Prime Video.
