Alan Ritchson shares feelings about losing Prime Video #1
The streaming world is always in motion, and the recent drama on Prime Video shows is no exception. The highly anticipated action series Reacher recently found itself dethroned from the top streaming spot, taking a close second place to its spin-off, Neagley. This shift, while competitive, has sparked some very candid reactions from those involved in the universe.
Star Alan Ritchson, who stars as the legendary Reacher, took to social media to share his perspective on the change. He described the situation as bittersweet, reflecting a mix of pride in the franchise and appreciation for the new direction.
“It’s a bittersweet day for me here in Reacherville as I head off to work to shoot Reacher Season 5 in cold, blustery Toronto,” Ritchson shared. “Reacher has been dethroned. The top spot taken by our spin-off Neagley,” he noted. Despite the shift in rankings, the star offered congratulations to the cast and crew of the spin-off, praising Maria Sten and the rest of the team.
Ritchson added a lighthearted comment about the unique nature of the production, noting, “You know, we share all the same crew, so it’s kinda incestuous. It’s a good thing in a lot of ways, and I guess I just have to work harder.”
The competitive landscape is clearly favoring the narrative journey of Neagley. As of the latest tracking data, both Reacher and Neagley currently occupy the top two positions on Prime Video’s TV and overall charts. This demonstrates the audience’s strong appetite for stories that delve into the world inspired by author Lee Child.
Neagley, which centers on the protagonist’s quest to solve the mystery of her best friend’s death, debuted on Prime Video on September 16, 2026. It follows the original story’s framework but brings a fresh focus to the characters and their complex lives.
The continued success of both shows highlights the power of established lore while simultaneously offering viewers exciting new avenues to explore within the same universe. Whether you’re a die-hard fan of the original or drawn to the expanded narrative, the competition between Reacher and Neagley continues to keep Prime Video audiences hooked.
