What's the Reacher spin-off?
If you've watched Alan Ritchson's Jack Reacher call in one particular favor across three seasons, you already know the answer's name. The Reacher universe is officially expanding, and the timing means fans get back-to-back new shows in 2026.
The short answer
The spin-off is Neagley — an eight-episode Prime Video series starring Maria Sten as Frances Neagley, premiering September 16, 2026, with all episodes dropping at once. It 's the franchise 's first spin-off, and it lands on the very same day the Reacher season 4 finale airs.
What it's about
Neagley, a former master sergeant in the Army's 110th Special Investigations Unit, now works as a private investigator in Chicago. When a beloved friend from her past dies in a suspicious accident, she goes after the truth — Amazon 's official description calls her "hell-bent on justice. "
The first trailer, unveiled at San Diego Comic-Con in July 2026, opens with someone asking her who she is; she answers with her name, address, and rank, then the gunfire starts.
Unlike most Reacher seasons, it isn't adapted from a specific Lee Child novel — it's an original story built around a character the books only use sparingly.
Who's in it
- Maria Sten — reprising Frances Neagley, the role she's played since Reacher season 1 in 2022.
- Alan Ritchson — appearing as Jack Reacher in a guest capacity, including a scene shot at a Chicago Cubs game.
- Greyston Holt, Adeline Rudolph, Jasper Jones, Matthew Del Negro, and Damon Herriman — rounding out the regular cast.
Reacher showrunner Nick Santora created the series with Nicholas Wootton, whose credits include NYPD Blue and Prison Break.
"Expanding on the storytelling and characters with a spinoff was an easy decision," said Vernon Sanders, head of television at Amazon MGM Studios, when the project was announced.
How it fits with Reacher season 4
Prime Video has stacked the schedule. Reacher season 4 premieres August 12, 2026, with three episodes, then goes weekly — and its finale arrives September 16, the same day all of Neagley drops. That's more than a month of continuous new Reacher-universe TV.
