Neagley, the Reacher spinoff starring Maria Sten, lands on Prime Video on Wednesday, September 16, 2026, and it arrives all at once: every one of the eight Season 1 episodes drops on the same day. There is no weekly rollout to track, so the only date you need is September 16.
That release also shares the calendar with the Reacher Season 4 finale, which closes out on Prime Video the very same Wednesday. Below is the full release schedule, the start time in ET and PT, and what to expect from Frances Neagley’s first solo case.
Neagley Season 1 release date and start time
All eight episodes of Neagley become available Wednesday, September 16, 2026, exclusively on Prime Video in more than 240 countries and territories, including the United States. Prime Video typically makes its new originals available at 12:00 a.m. PT / 3:00 a.m. ET, so most US viewers will find the full season waiting first thing Wednesday morning.
Because the season drops as a single batch rather than one episode a week, you can watch it at your own pace the moment it goes live — a binge model, the same one Prime Video used for the main Reacher series.

Here is the official Prime Video teaser for the series:
Where Neagley fits in the Reacher universe
Maria Sten reprises Frances Neagley, the sharp, unshakable investigator she has played alongside Alan Ritchson across three seasons of Reacher. This time she is the lead. Neagley now works as a private investigator in Chicago, and when a close friend from her past is killed in what looks like an accident, she refuses to accept the official story and starts pulling the thread herself.
The character was created by Lee Child in his best-selling Jack Reacher novels, and the spinoff leans on the same investigative muscle that made her a fan favorite: military training from her years in the Army’s 110th Special Investigations Unit, a photographic memory, and a low tolerance for being lied to. Ritchson guest stars as Jack Reacher, tying the spinoff directly back to the flagship show.
The supporting cast includes Greyston Holt as Detective Hudson Riley, Adeline Rudolph as Renee Birdwhistle, Jasper Jones as Keno, Matthew Del Negro as Pierce Woodrow, and Damon Herriman as Lawrence Cole.
What to expect from Neagley’s first case
Where Reacher tends to solve problems with fists and force of will, Neagley is the character who reads the room, works the paperwork, and notices the detail everyone else missed. The spinoff is built around that difference. Instead of a drifter passing through town, it puts a grounded, methodical investigator at the center of a personal case — the death of someone she cares about — which raises the emotional stakes above the usual case-of-the-week mystery. Early footage points toward a shadowy, cult-like organization at the heart of the conspiracy she uncovers.
The move also signals that Prime Video wants the Reacher universe to grow beyond a single show, in the way networks build out a franchise from a breakout supporting character. If Season 1 connects, Neagley is positioned to run as its own series rather than a one-off experiment.
A note on viewing order for September 16
Because the Reacher Season 4 finale and the complete first season of Neagley both go live on Prime Video on Wednesday, September 16, there is a natural double feature waiting. If you are caught up on Reacher, finishing Season 4 first keeps the timeline and any character crossovers in order before you jump into Neagley’s solo story. Newcomers can start straight into Neagley without any homework.
For a reminder of how Neagley clicked with Reacher in the original series, this official Prime Video clip is a good primer:
