Update: A “ Reacher ” spinoff series is currently in development at Amazon Prime Video , Variety has learned from sources.

According to sources, Nick Santora is writing the spinoff with Nicholas Wooton. Santora developed “Reacher” for television and serves as executive producer and showrunner for the series. Specific plot details for the spinoff are being kept secret, 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 upcoming third season will be adapted from the novel “Persuader.” This book holds the seventh spot in the Jack Reacher series penned by Child. The official synopsis for the season reveals that “Reacher must go undercover to rescue an informant held by a menacing adversary from his past.” It has been confirmed that Sten will reprise his role in Season 3, alongside newcomers Anthony Michael Hall, Sonya Cassidy, Johnny Berchtold, Brian Tee, Roberto Montesinos, and Daniel David Stewart.

Child serves as an executive producer on “Reacher” alongside Don Granger, Scott Sullivan, Mick Betancourt, and David Ellison, Dana Goldberg, and Matt Thunell representing Skydance Television. The series is a joint production by Amazon Studios, Skydance, and CBS Studios ( formerly Paramount Television Studios ). Carolyn Harris and Kenny Madrid hold the position of executives-in-charge of the series for Skydance Television. Ritchson will assume the role of executive producer for the show starting with Season 3.
