The series premiere of “Neagley” drops on Prime Video on Sept. 16, and with it comes a new batch of butt-kicking characters to the “Reacher” universe.
Maria Sten returns as Frances Neagley, the Chicago private investigator and former military protégé of Jack Reacher. She’s joined by Greyston Holt as Detective Hudson Riley, Adeline Rudolph as Renée Birdwhistle and more. Jack Reacher (Alan Ritchson) himself even makes a guest appearance to fight alongside his mentee.
The eight-episode inaugural season follows Neagley as she leads her crew on an action-packed quest to uncover what really happened to her friend Tommy after he joined a mysterious cult. Based on the characters created by Lee Child, Neagley will use everything she’s learned from Jack Reacher and her time as a member of the 110 Special Investigators in her pursuit of justice.
