Reacher author Lee Child teases a new spinoff character.

Child's Reacher novel series dates back to 1997's Killing Floor, the first book to feature the character of Jack Reacher, a hulking former Major in the U.S. Army Military Police Corps who travels around America solving crimes and helping those in need. The Prime Video adaptation of the novel series has been a massive success, and it just recently expanded into a franchise with the release of the Neagley spinoff show.

Speaking with Collider, Child, who has now passed writing duties on the Reacher book series on to his younger brother, Andrew Child, now teases that a candidate for a new spinoff show has emerged in the form of Susan Turner. Andrew Child recently brought Turner back for the latest Reacher book, Chain Reaction, and Lee Child thinks she could lead a new Neagley-style series. Check out his comment below:

I was glad that Andrew [Child] brought back Susan Turner. Good character, but also a spin-off opportunity because we’ve already got Neagley, and Amazon tends to want as much as possible if it’s working. And so, do they want another spin-off? In which case, she’ll do.

More to come...
