Amazon Developing Jack Reacher Series

Amazon has secured the rights to develop a television series based on the Jack Reacher character from Lee Child’s best-selling series books.

Child’s Jack Reacher series is a billion-dollar brand published in 49 languages and 101 territories, with more than 100 million books sold. The character was featured in a pair of Paramount movies—Jack Reacher (2012) and Jack Reacher: Never Go Back (2016)—starring Tom Cruise.

The series will be written by Nick Santora (Scorpion, Prison Break), who will also executive produce and serve as showrunner. Child will also serve as an EP. Skydance Television, Paramount Television and Amazon Studios are producing.
