Share

Prime Video’s expanding “Reacher” universe has announced a new spinoff series starring Maria Sten, titled “The Untitled Neagley Project.” This series will follow Sten’s character, Frances Neagley, a private investigator within Jack Reacher’s world, who sets out on a quest for justice after the tragic death of a close friend. Drawing on her experiences with Reacher and the 110 Special Investigators, Neagley embarks on a perilous journey to uncover a dark and sinister truth.

The announcement was made by Amazon MGM Studios head Jennifer Salke at the Prime Video Presents: Trailblazers event in London, where Sten expressed her excitement for portraying the dynamic and multi-dimensional character of Neagley. Describing her approach to the role, Sten highlighted her dedication to character work and delving into Neagley’s psyche by immersing herself in the source material.

Developed by “Reacher” series creator Nick Santora and “Law & Order” writer Nicholas Wootton, the spinoff promises to maintain the signature elements of the “Reacher” series while carving out a unique identity for Neagley. As co-showrunners and executive producers, Santora and Wootton will bring their expertise to the project, which is a collaboration between Amazon MGM Studios, Skydance Television, and CBS Studios.

With the success of “Reacher,” which is currently in its third season, the decision to expand the franchise with a spinoff was a natural progression. According to Vernon Sanders, head of television at Amazon MGM Studios, the new chapter starring Sten as Neagley will uphold the legacy of “Reacher” while injecting fresh energy into the narrative, appealing to both existing fans and newcomers. The series, set to stream exclusively on Prime Video, holds promise for offering deeper insights into the enigmatic character of Neagley and further exploring her compelling backstory.
