Interview: How Maria Sten and the Neagley cast brought Reacher's first Prime Video spin-off to life
All eight episodes of Neagley debut on Wednesday, September 16, 2026, on Prime Video, featuring Maria Sten reprising her role as the titular private investigator in the first spin-off of the Reacher universe.
While working in Chicago, Neagley investigates the mysterious death of Tommy, a childhood friend, skeptical that official reports explaining the tragedy as a suicide tell the full story.
Her investigation leads to Echo Canyon, a farm operated by Lawrence Cole, an English professor turned guru who forces vulnerable followers into psychological drug experiments for pharmaceutical executives.
Neagley partners with Detective Hudson Riley, Renee Birdwhistle, and Keno to dismantle the operation, though critics note the series' focus on her haphephobia feels predictable despite strong ensemble chemistry.
Developed by Nick Santora, the series expands the Reacher universe on Prime Video, positioning Sten as a lead capable of carrying her own franchise arc with pulpy, action-driven storytelling.
