## Key points

- Neagley has moved ahead of Reacher on Prime Video.
- It drew 661 million US viewing minutes in one week.
- The spin-off centres Frances Neagley in an original mystery.

## Summary

Prime Video’s spin-off Neagley has overtaken Reacher in streaming rankings, showing that the franchise can draw viewers with Frances Neagley at its centre. The result matters because spin-offs often struggle to move beyond their original stories, while this series gives the character her own setting, mystery and supporting cast.

After its 16 September premiere, Neagley reached the top of Prime Video’s global rankings over the weekend, placing Reacher second. Nielsen estimated that Neagley attracted 661 million US viewing minutes from 28 September to 4 October, compared with 513 million for Reacher. Its story is built from details about Neagley in Lee Child’s books rather than directly adapting the novels, and puts her military and combat skills at the forefront.
