Prime Video Orders Reacher Spin-Off

Prime Video has expanded the Reacher universe with a series order for a spin-off about Frances Neagley, starring Maria Sten (Reacher, Swamp Thing).

The spin-off is created for television by co-showrunners and executive producers Nick Santora (Reacher, Prison Break) and Nicholas Wootton (Law & Order, Prison Break) and produced by Amazon MGM Studios, Skydance Television and CBS Studios. The series marks Skydance Television’s seventh project with Amazon MGM Studios and Prime Video.

“As Reacher continues to resonate with our global customers in a profound way, expanding on the storytelling and characters with a spin-off was an easy decision,” said Vernon Sanders, head of television at Amazon MGM Studios. “With Nick and Nicholas as well as our partners Skydance and CBS Studios, we’re confident this new chapter, starring the amazing Maria Sten, will not only honor the Reacher legacy but also bring fresh energy and excitement to new and longtime fans alike.”

“Lee Child created an immensely rich character with Neagley, and Maria Sten brought her to life in such a vivid, authentic way in Reacher,” said Santora and Wootton. “Amazon, Skydance Television and CBS Studios have been tremendous partners from the start, and we are excited to explore Neagley’s story further and dive into what makes her so unique.”

“I’m beyond thrilled to further explore the world of Neagley and her somewhat mysterious background,” added Sten. “She’s such a wonderful character to play, and I’m very excited for everyone to get to know her a little better.”

“We are thrilled to be expanding the world of Reacher with Amazon and CBS Studios to explore the fan-favorite character of Neagley with the extraordinary Maria Sten,” commented Dana Goldberg, chief creative officer at Skydance. “Nick Santora did an incredible job adapting Lee Child’s Reacher novels for television. With Nick and Nicholas Wootton at the helm, audiences are in for another captivating adventure in the Reacher universe.”
