Update: A “Reacher” spinoff series is currently in the works at Amazon Prime Video, Variety has learned from sources.
Real Reason Why Diane Capri's Hunt for Reacher Would Be a Great Amazon Spinoff
According to reports, Nick Santora is writing the spinoff with Nicholas Wooton. Santora developed "Reacher" for television and is the executive producer and showrunner on the series. Exact plot details for the spinoff are being kept under wraps, but it is believed to focus on Frances Neagley, who is played by Maria Sten in the main series.
Amazon representatives declined to comment.
The move to develop more shows in the “Reacher” universe comes as no surprise, given the runaway success of the Alan Ritchson-led series based on Lee Childs’ Jack Reacher novels. “Reacher” was renewed for Season 3 on Prime Video before Season 2 had even aired. The second season was the number one title on Prime Video globally in both TV shows and movies in 2023 during its premiere weekend, according to the streamer. The series’ global audience grew 50 percent between seasons in the first three days following the second season’s Dec. 15, 2023 premiere. It also debuted at number two on the Nielsen top 10 streaming charts.
