Prime Video’s Reacher Franchise Expands with Spinoff Series Neagley

Exclusive: Prime Video is developing a spinoff series from the popular drama series Reacher, titled Neagley, which will center on the character Frances Neagley, played by Maria Sten.

Reacher executive producer and showrunner Nick Santora has teamed with Nicholas Wootton to develop, executive produce, and co-showrun Neagley, which is produced by Amazon MGM Studios and Skydance Television, along with CBS Studios.

In addition to Santora and Wootton, Neagley is executive produced by Lee Child, Don Granger, and Lisa Kussner with David Ellison, Dana Goldberg, and Matt Thunell for Skydance Television. Carolyn Harris, Kenny Madrid, Niko Fernandez will oversee the project for Skydance. Reps for Prime Video and the studios declined comment.

Frances Neagley was introduced in Season 1 of Reacher, based on Child’s The Killing Floor novel, in which the character does not appear. She played an integral part in Season 2 based on a book in which Neagley is a main character, Bad Luck and Trouble, emerging as Reacher’s sidekick he can bounce ideas off.

Reacher and Neagley have become such a popular on-screen duo that when Prime Video revealed that Season 3 would be based on Child’s Persuader, another book that Neagley doesn’t show up in, the streamer made a point to announce that Sten would be back reprising her role alongside Ritchson.

In Season 3, which was greenlighted last December, ahead of the series’ Season 2 premiere, veteran military police investigator Jack Reacher (Ritchson) must go undercover to rescue an informant held by a haunting foe from his past.

Reacher Season 2 was the #1 title on Prime Video worldwide across both series and movies during its premiere weekend (based on viewership).

With its pending universe expansion, Reacher is poised to join Prime Video’s flagship drama, The Boys, which has spawned four other series to date. The streamer also ordered a prequel to Terminal List alongside the popular mothership Chris Pratt series, and also has explored a Jack Ryan spinoff.

In addition to Reacher and Tom Clancy’s Jack Ryan, Skydance Television has produced several other series with Amazon MGM Studios for Prime Video, including the upcoming Cross and the recently announced The Runarounds, an untitled action-adventure series starring Octavia Spencer and Hannah Waddingham, and a docuseries on the Idaho Murders.

Conclusion

The expansion of the Reacher franchise with the spinoff series Neagley is a testament to the popularity of the characters and the success of the original series. With its unique blend of action, suspense, and humor, Reacher has become a fan favorite, and the addition of Neagley is expected to bring even more excitement and adventure to the franchise.
