After it was reported that a Reacher spinoff was in development at Prime Video, it's finally official. The streamer has announced that a series order has been given to an untitled spinoff centering on Maria Sten's Frances Neagley. The series is created by co-showrunners and executive producers Nick Santora and Nicholas Wootton and produced by Amazon MGM Studios, Skydance Television, and CBS Studios.

Reacher fans are very familiar with Neagley, who is a private investigator in Chicago. She becomes hell-bent on justice after learning a beloved friend from her past was killed in a suspicious accident. "Using everything she's learned from Jack Reacher and her time as a member of the 110 Special Investigators, Neagley puts herself on a dangerous path to uncover a menacing evil."

"As Reacher continues to resonate with our global customers in a profound way, expanding on the storytelling and characters with a spinoff was an easy decision," Vernon Sanders, head of television, Amazon MGM Studios, said in a statement. "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."
