Frances Neagley has stumbled onto the kind of place Jack Reacher would probably solve with a wrecking ball. Prime Video has released the official trailer for Neagley, and Maria Sten is heading straight into a deeply suspicious recovery operation run by a man who introduces himself as someone’s “personal Jesus”. Nothing concerning there. Watch the trailer above and get the details below.
The first teaser gave us an early taste of Neagley going solo. Now the full trailer is filling in the blanks, revealing more of the case and the threat waiting at the centre of it.
More on Screen Realm:
Neagley’s latest mission begins after an old friend, Tommy, dies in what she’s told was an accident. She doesn’t believe it, and her digging eventually brings her to the Farm, a supposedly charitable operation offering recovering addicts and unhoused people a fresh start. Judging by the footage, fresh starts may not be its speciality.
Welcome to the Farm
At the centre of it all is Lawrence Cole, played by Justified and Once Upon a Time in Hollywood Aussie actor Damon Herriman. Cole has charisma, followers and apparently no shortage of confidence. “I am your own personal Jesus,” he tells the room.
The Farm goes from mildly unsettling to full-blown war zone, with Neagley dodging bullets, smashing through a window and throwing herself into the sort of close-quarters violence that has made her such a good fit for the Reacher universe.
“I’m gonna burn that farm to the fucking ground,” she declares.
Reacher Drops By
Alan Ritchson also makes an appearance as Jack Reacher, although Prime Video is keeping this firmly Neagley’s story. After finding her fresh from another violent encounter, Reacher reminds her that she could have called him for backup. “You always have my back,” she tells him. He responds, “You’re my friend.”
Ritchson is guest-starring rather than sharing the lead, which feels like the right way to bring fans along. Neagley gets the connection to the mothership without having a six-foot-five shadow hanging over her own series.
The Cast Behind Neagley’s New Case
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 Herriman as Lawrence Cole.
The series comes from Reacher showrunner Nick Santora and Nicholas Wootton, who serve as co-showrunners and executive producers. Lee Child, Don Granger, Sam Hill, Adam Higgs and Lisa Kussner also executive produce, with Hill directing the opening two episodes.
Prime Video Isn’t Giving Reacher Fans a Break
The timing of the trailer is no accident. Reacher Season 4 has just launched on Prime Video with a three-episode drop, and the early response has been strong. At the time of writing, the season holds an 89% critics score on Rotten Tomatoes.
New episodes will now arrive weekly until the Season 4 finale on September 16. Then, on that same day, Prime Video hands the franchise over to Neagley.
All eight episodes of Neagley premiere September 16 on Prime Video.
