The logline for the series states, “Frances Neagley (Sten) is a private investigator in Chicago and former military protégé of Jack Reacher in the Army’s 110th Special Investigations Unit. When she learns that a beloved friend from her past has been killed in a suspicious accident, she becomes hell-bent on justice. Using everything she’s learned from Jack Reacher and her time as a member of the 110 Special Investigators, Neagley puts herself on a dangerous path to uncover a menacing evil.”
In the trailer, Neagley learns that her friend was taken in by a seemingly altruistic group that is really a front for a nefarious cult.
“Neagley” is based on the characters created by Lee Child. The series is created by Nick Santora and Nicholas Wootton, who also serve as executive producers and co-showrunners. Child is also an executive producer alongside Don Granger, Sam Hill, Adam Higgs, and Lisa Kussner. Hill also directed the first two episodes. Carolyn Harris, Kenny Madrid, and Niko Fernandez oversee the project for Paramount Television Studios. The series is produced by both Paramount Television Studios and Amazon MGM Studios.
