Prime Video's Neagley Debuts as Darker Reacher Spin‑Off

The eight-episode series will drop in full on September 16 as a binge-first test of whether the Reacher universe can sustain character-driven spinoffs.

Overview

  • All eight episodes of Neagley will be available on Prime Video on Wednesday, September 16, 2026, released the same day as the Reacher season four finale to encourage immediate binge viewing.
  • The plot centers on Frances Neagley, now a Chicago private investigator, who probes the suspicious death of a childhood friend and uncovers a conspiracy that forces her to confront past trauma.
  • Maria Sten stars as Neagley and Alan Ritchson will appear in a guest role as Jack Reacher, though the series is built around Neagley’s perspective and psychological arc.
  • Neagley was developed and co-showrun by Nick Santora and Nicholas Wootton with Lee Child as an executive producer and is produced by Paramount Television Studios and Amazon MGM Studios.
  • Early reviews praise Sten’s lead performance and the show’s darker, more character-driven tone while noting its similarities to Reacher, and Amazon has not yet renewed Neagley for a second season.
