How Reacher's Season 3 Finale Set Up Neagley Spinoff — Will You Watch?
A brief exchange at the close of Reacher's Season 3 finale seemed to set the tone for the Prime Video hit's upcoming Neagley spinoff.
After Jack Reacher (played by Alan Ritchson), Frances Neagley (Maria Sten) and DEA agents Susan Duffy (Sonya Cassidy) and Guillermo Villanueva (Roberto Montesinos) got the best of the supervillainous Xavier Quinn (Brian Tee), Neagley shared an observation with her onetime 110th MP Special Investigations Unit boss.

'I figured it out — why you do what you do,…' Neagley said. 'It's not just because you need to put things right. And it's not because you're a 'little guy.' It's because you hate the big guy. You hate the big powerful sonsofbitches who think they can just get away with things. So you make sure they don't.'
As Reacher himself noted, this is something Neagley surely realized before — at the very least, in the course of thwarting of the nefarious Big Guys they teamed up against in Seasons 1 and 2 — so the inclusion of this dialogue seemed to lay a foundation for Sten's Neagley spinoff, which has been filming since Feb. 18.
Created by Reacher showrunner Nick Santora and Nicholas Wootton, Neagley follows the titular Chicago P.I. as she learns that a beloved friend from her past has been killed in a suspicious accident. 'Hell-bent on pursuing justice,' the official synopsis reads, 'Neagley uses everything she's learned from Jack Reacher and her time as a member of the 110 Special Investigators, setting herself on a dangerous path to uncover a menacing evil.'
'It's an interesting story, and it's a very personal one,' Sten told TVLine. 'Neagley is its own thing, but of course it's a 'sister' to Reacher, and I think it will be really, really cool to get to explore her world and see how people respond to it.'
The Neagley cast also includes Damon Herriman (Justified) as Lawrence Cole, Greyston Holt (Bitten, Riverdale) as Detective Hudson Riley, Matthew Del Negro (Teen Wolf, Scandal) as Pierce Woodrow, Adeline Rudolph (Chilling Adventures of Sabrina) as Renee, and Jasper Jones (To Die For) as Keno.
'We have a great cast that we've put together for this show,' Sten said.
In addition to giving us the philosophy exchange quoted above, Reacher Season 3 shared a glimpse into Neagley's life in Chicago, where she has a snazzy P.I. firm that admittedly needs a little TLC after some of Quinn's goons came gunning for her.
As Sten noted, '[Reacher set up] that she is out there living her own life, and at the same time she will assist Reacher when it's asked for. And even when it's not!'
Neagley is executive-produced by Santora, Wootton, Lee Child (author of the Jack Reacher novels), Don Granger, Sam Hill, Adam Higgs, Lisa Kussner, David Ellison, Dana Goldberg and Matt Thunell.Best of TVLine

Clarkson's Farm star announces new venture after leaving show
A Clarkson's Farm star has announced a new venture after leaving the show. The young farmhand from Derbyshire was a new addition to the cast in the latest season which was released on Prime Video across May and June this year. Ms Cowan temporarily stood in for longtime fan favourite Kaleb Cooper as he toured, helping Jeremy Clarkson at the farm in Chadlington, Oxfordshire. The 24-year-old left midway through the series once her help was no longer needed but became popular with viewers despite her short time on screen. READ MORE: Jeremy Clarkson's customers share bizarre Cotswolds pub complaint After finding fame with the farming documentary show, Ms Cowan has now opted for a new career venture. Announced via the social media platform Instagram, the young star has signed with leading talent agency Off Limits Entertainment. A statement from Off Limits Entertainment said: 'We are delighted to announce the exclusive signing of Harriet Cowan to Off Limits Entertainment. 'Harriet Cowan, best known for her standout role stepping in as Jeremy Clarkson's farm hand on Clarkson's Farm series, has quickly become one of the most exciting new voices in British farming. "Harriet gained national attention for her expertise, quick wit, and genuine passion for agriculture.

(Image: Prime Video) "In addition to her national television success, Harriet has cultivated a rapidly growing online community across platforms like TikTok and Instagram, where she shares authentic and engaging insights into rural life, farming challenges, and the realities of modern agriculture. "Harriet's background as a qualified nurse and her role as a spokesperson for young farmers makes her a relatable figure in the farming community and beyond. "We're super excited to represent Harriet and support her on this new and exciting journey, stay tuned to see what Harriet gets up to!" With filming for Clarkson's Farm series five already underway, it remains uncertain if Ms Cowan will return.

(Image: Prime Video) The 24-year-old addressed her Clarkson's Farm future in a pre-recorded appearance on BBC Breakfast News earlier this month. "We've always left it very open," said Harriet. "I'm here if he needs me, but no plans at the minute. If he needs me, I'm here." Mr Clarkson previously spoke on the question when talking to The Sun and offered similar thoughts on a potential return for the young star. "It's a reality show," he said. "We don't just bring characters in because the TV show needs it. You bring them in because you really need them. "I loved Harriet to bits and I wish her all the very best. She was fantastic to have around. "But the truth is, we've got Kaleb, and he might go off and do Celebrity Love Island or something, and if I can't manage, I'll call Harriet in a heartbeat."

Is ‘The Better Sister' returning for season 2? Everything we know so far
By Aman Shukla Published on June 16, 2025, 19:00 IST Last updated June 16, 2025, 12:19 IST The Better Sister , a gripping thriller series starring Jessica Biel and Elizabeth Banks, premiered on Prime Video on May 29, 2025. Based on Alafair Burke's 2019 novel, the eight-episode limited series captivated audiences with its twisty murder mystery and complex family dynamics. Fans are now eager to know: will there be a Season 2 of The Better Sister ? Here's everything we know so far. Has The Better Sister Been Renewed for Season 2? As of June 16, 2025, Prime Video has not officially confirmed a second season for The Better Sister . The show was marketed as a limited series, and the first season fully adapts the standalone novel by Alafair Burke, resolving the central mystery of Adam Macintosh's murder. However, limited series like The White Lotus , Beef , and Good Omens have been renewed for additional seasons due to strong viewership and fan demand, leaving room for speculation. What Could Season 2 Be About? Since the first season adapts the entirety of Burke's novel, a second season would require an original storyline. Several plot threads from Season 1 could set the stage: Jake Rodriguez's Death: The shocking death of Jake, a key character and Chloe's lover, introduces a new mystery. Unlike the book, where Jake survives, the series alters his fate, potentially linking his death to the Gentry Group, a shadowy organization Adam was investigating. Season 2 could explore whether the Gentry Group targets Chloe's family in retaliation for her role in exposing them to the FBI. The Sisters' Cover-Up: Nicky's guilt in Adam's murder and Chloe's role in framing Bill Braddock could come under scrutiny. Detective Nancy Guidry (Kim Dickens) suspects Nicky's involvement after learning she knew details about the murder only the killer would know. A second season might focus on the sisters' efforts to evade justice while grappling with their moral choices. Ethan's Future: Ethan, caught in the crossfire of his family's secrets, faces ongoing challenges. His attempt to protect Chloe by staging the crime scene and his struggles with addiction could be further explored, especially as he navigates his relationship with both sisters. Where to Watch The Better Sister All eight episodes of The Better Sister Season 1 are available to stream on Prime Video. Interested viewers can catch up on the thrilling drama before any potential Season 2 updates. Ahmedabad Plane Crash Aman Shukla is a post-graduate in mass communication .

This tense spy thriller show just crashed the Prime Video top 10 — and it's inspired by a '70s classic
Looks like plenty of Prime Video subscribers are getting hooked on a tense spy thriller from the previous decade, as "Condor" has climbed into the streaming service's most-watched list. Similar to 2024's excellent thriller, "The Day of the Jackal," "Condor" is a fresh spin on another classic '70s thriller, "Six Days of the Condor" by James Grady (which was subsequently turned into Sydney Pollack's "Three Days of the Condor" movie, which starred Robert Redford). The series originally premiered on AT&T's Audience Network back in 2018 and was subsequently picked up by Epix (now MGM Plus), with the second season premiering on the streamer in 2021. Both seasons are also available on Prime Video and are proving popular at present. At the time of writing, "Condor" is currently sitting in ninth place in Prime Video's top 10 shows chart. And given that the chart is currently dominated by Prime Video Originals like "Reacher," "The Better Sister" and "The Summer I Turned Pretty," that's pretty impressive for a 7-year-old show. If you're a thriller fan and you happen to be on the hunt for a new show, you can find out a little more info about the series below, and a round-up of what viewers have to say to help you decide whether to stream "Condor" on Prime Video. "Condor" sees us heading along for the ride with Joe Turner (Max Irons), a brilliant low-level CIA analyst who joined the agency with the hope of reforming it from the inside. When Joe stumbles upon a secret plan that threatens the lives of millions, he finds himself in the crosshairs. After narrowly dodging the killers who take out everyone else at his office, Joe ends up on the run, striving to get to the bottom of what's really going in... while dodging assassins and whatever the agency throws at him in the process. Get instant access to breaking news, the hottest reviews, great deals and helpful tips. In addition to Irons, "Condor" also stars William Hurt, Sam McCarthy Jr., Leem Lubany, Kristen Hager, Bob Balaban, Brendan Fraser, Mira Sorvino and Katherine Cunningham, among others "Condor" comes reasonably well recommended by viewers. At the time of writing, the first season holds an 87% rating on the review aggregate site, Rotten Tomatoes, with a slightly lower 79% score on the Popcornmeter. The site's critical consensus reads: "'Condor' never aspires to be a realistic depiction of spy games -- instead, it excels at evoking a uniquely 21st century brand of paranoia with its slick concept and propulsive pacing." Looking for specific reactions? Well, IndieWire's Ben Travers called the show "a smartly expanded adaptation" back in 2018. He wrote that it isn't a "drop everything and subscribe to DirecTV" kind of show, but it is an engaging spy story suitably updated for modern times and slyly incorporating elements of the original film." Vulture critic Matt Zoller Seitz dubbed the show "an honorable effort" (though one lacking some of the thrills of the Redford movie), describing it as "something along the lines of "Homeland" with a touch of Tom Clancy: a workplace drama, essentially, in which bureaucrats, military personnel, analysts, and spies get tangled up in an international conspiracy." Finally, The Washington Post's Hank Stuever spun the series as "quite the little pulse-pounder — the sort of thing '24' fans can eat with a spoon," praising the show's supporting cast for "lift[ing] this story into a taut choice for summer viewing." Having only just checked the show out myself now that it's picked up steam on Prime Video, I wouldn't want to offer a definitive verdict just yet, but as a fan of thrillers of this ilk, I'm certainly intrigued by Joe's plight, and it feels like a show I'd want to make time for. If you enjoy this kind of taut spy thriller, shows where innocent agents are left high and dry and caught in life-or-death situations, you might want to follow in the footsteps of other Prime users and stream "Condor" on Prime Video, too.
