Alan Ritchson, star and executive producer of Prime Video’s series “Reacher,” signs a three-year first-look television deal with Amazon MGM Studios. The agreement, set through Ritchson’s production banner, Dancing Skeleton, gives Amazon MGM Studios the first opportunity to develop and produce new television projects with Ritchson for Prime Video. Both outlets report that the partnership is focused on expanding Ritchson’s work beyond his current role on “Reacher,” with the studio coordinating development efforts under the first-look framework.
Deadline and Variety both describe the deal as a new pact intended to bring additional shows and development from Ritchson’s side to Prime Video via Amazon MGM Studios. The reporting is consistent that Ritchson will both develop and produce projects under the arrangement, continuing his existing involvement as a star and executive producer on “Reacher.”
