Maria Sten takes the reins in the new series, Neagley, an extension of the hit series, Reacher, on Prime Video. The series begins with Frances Neagley, a private investigator and former military protégé of Jack Reacher, learning that a beloved friend from her past has been killed in a suspicious accident. Using her knowledge, Neagley puts herself on a dangerous path to uncover this mystery and the evil truth ahead.

Sten recently visited Audacy to sit down with correspondent Romeo International and share insights into the upcoming season and her new journey as an action star.
I've noticed that because of 'Reacher' and his fan base and his love, and you being pulled into the new series and people get to transfer their energy - did you feel a responsibility as an actress to have those fans still feel like they're a part of the journey, but I also want to create your own way?
"Yeah, definitely. Of course, we want to pay homage to where we originated, not only from the show, but of course from Lee Child's books. For me, the biggest thing that I was worried about was how do we stay true to the character that Lee created, and then who we've been with for 3 seasons of 'Reacher.'"
"We can't suddenly make up a new character just because we're making a new show. So it had to be true for the Neagley that we know, but we're just expanding upon that. We're literally showing you all of the sides of her that we never got to look into. And for me, I've lived with her for a long time now, so it was always there for me. There was always a feeling that Neagley has her own life and she's got her own stuff going on in Chicago. Then she comes to save Reacher's ass once in a while, and then she goes back to Chicago to do her job. So for me, it was just, 'oh, this show is just us putting a camera on this other life that she's always had.' And so that's exciting."
