The Reacher universe gets a boost with a spin-off about Frances Neagley. The character from the special agent’s circle of trust, played by Maria Sten since the first season, can look forward to soon being in the absolute spotlight herself.
Preferred partner
Frances is introduced in the series as one of Reacher’s agents of choice when it comes to military cooperation. Her first appearance is in episode 4, when he is looking for a reliable helper in the search for an assassin. Because of her fearless attitude and her experience in the military, Neagley can even be seen as Reacher’s female counterpart.
The preliminary synopsis of the spin-off series is set up around a suspicious murder. The justice-seeking Neagley embarks on a mission to ensure that the possible perpetrator(s) are brought to justice, using all the knowledge she has acquired through Reacher and other colleagues.
Beloved role
As in Reacher Maria Sten will give the strong character a face. “She has a somewhat mysterious background, and I look forward to exploring her world further,” says the actress. “It’s great to be able to play her in the series and now I get to get to know her even better.”
The Neagley spin-off is currently still called The Untitled Neagley Projectbut in the long term a decent title will certainly take its place. It is not yet known when the series will appear on Prime Video. The third season of Reacher is also still in production.
