AMAZON STUDIOS GREENLIGHTS "JACK REACHER," BASED ON THE INTERNATIONAL BEST-SELLING NOVELS FROM LEE CHILD

Nick Santora Set as Showrunner and Executive Producer

PASADENA, Calif. - January 14, 2020 - Amazon Studios today announced that it has greenlit Jack Reacher, a drama based on the character from Lee Child's international bestselling series of books, which is published in 49 languages and 101 territories and has sold 100 million books to date. Produced by Amazon Studios, Skydance Television and Paramount Television Studios, the television series will be written by Nick Santora (Scorpion, Prison Break), who will also executive produce and serve as showrunner for the series. The first season will be based on the first Jack Reacher novel, "The Killing Floor."

"Lee Child has created an incredible character and world; it will be the goal of every writer, producer, actor, executive and crew member to capture the essence of Mr. Child's books - and luckily Lee has been there, and will continue to be there, to help guide us along the way in this series. He is the pulse of Reacher," said Santora.

"It's been great so far, but really, the fun starts here. By now I know these guys, and Reacher is in the perfect hands, believe me," said Child.
