Maria Sten returns in Neagley season 1 when Prime Video makes the Reacher spin-off available on September 16 at 12am PT / 3am ET in the US and Canada. All eight episodes arrive at once, so the first-night release is built for viewers who want the whole run, not a weekly drip.
Sten reprises Neagley, the character she played across Reacher's first three seasons. The series puts her in Chicago as a private investigator after a beloved friend from her past is killed in a suspicious accident.
Prime Video's 12am PT pattern
September 16 at 12am PT, which is 3am ET, fits the usual Amazon TV Originals rollout on Prime Video. That timing gives US and Canada viewers a single release window, rather than splitting the launch by region or stretching it across multiple days.
All eight episodes landing together also changes how the series can be watched. Instead of waiting for weekly installments, viewers can move straight through the season once it appears.
Maria Sten returns from Reacher
Maria Sten is the key reason this launch already has a built-in audience inside Reacher. Her return carries the character from a supporting role in the first three seasons into a standalone run, which is the cleanest possible handoff for a spin-off.
Amazon's scheduling note also comes with a line from Sten: "I'm sad that Reacher season 4 is coming to an end, but thanks to some expert scheduling from Amazon's content team, it's not all bad news." The timing makes that transition explicit, with one series ending just as another begins.
Reacher season 4 ends
Reacher season 4 is ending as Neagley season 1 starts, but there is no public word on whether the spin-off has been greenlit for a second season. That leaves the September 16 release as the only concrete checkpoint for now, with the first eight episodes carrying the entire first run.
For viewers in the US and Canada, the practical move is simple: Prime Video opens the full season at 12am PT / 3am ET on September 16, and the whole batch is there immediately. For Amazon, that is a low-friction way to turn a familiar Reacher character into a stand-alone test case.
