According to sources, Nick Santora is writing the spinoff with Nicholas Wooton. Santora developed “Reacher” for television and serves as 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.
Reps for Amazon declined to comment.
The move to develop more shows in the “Reacher” world comes as little surprise, given the runaway success of the Alan Ritchson-led series based on Lee Childs’ Jack Reacher novels. “Reacher” was renewed for Season 3 at Prime Video before Season 2 had even aired. The second season was the number one title on Prime Video worldwide across both series and movies in 2023 during its premiere weekend, according to the streamer. The series’ global audience grew 50% between seasons in the first three days after the second season’s debut on December 15, 2023. It also debuted at number two on the Nielsen top 10 streaming charts .

The third season will be based on the book “Persuader.” That book is the seventh in the Jack Reacher series written by Child. The official logline for the season states, “Reacher must go undercover to rescue an informant held by a haunting foe from his past.” It has been confirmed that Sten will return for Season 3, along with new cast members Anthony Michael Hall, Sonya Cassidy, Johnny Berchtold, Brian Tee, Roberto Montesinos, and Daniel David Stewart.
Child is an executive producer on “Reacher” along with Don Granger, Scott Sullivan, Mick Betancourt, and David Ellison, Dana Goldberg, and Matt Thunell for Skydance Television. The series is produced by Amazon Studios, Skydance, and CBS Studios ( formerly Paramount Television Studios ). Carolyn Harris and Kenny Madrid are the executives-in-charge of the series for Skydance Television. Ritchson will be an executive producer on the show beginning with Season 3.
