Amazon Renews ‘Jack Ryan’ For Season 3
Amazon has ordered even more ‘Jack Ryan‘. Season 2 of the drama is due later this year but the streaming giant has announced John Krasinski’s CIA analyst will also be back for a 3rd Season.
‘Tom Clancy’s Jack Ryan’ is a reinvention with a modern sensibility of the unexpected Tom Clancy hero. Season 1 centred on Jack Ryan (Krasinski), an up-and-coming CIA analyst as he is thrust into a dangerous field assignment for the first time. The series followed the titular character as he uncovers a pattern in terrorist communication that launches him into the centre of a dangerous gambit with a new breed of terrorism that threatens destruction on a global scale.
Season 2 will see the action move to South America, and add a host of new actors. Michael Kelly (‘House Of Cards’) joins as Mike November, a smart, seasoned career field officer in the CIA who works with both Ryanand Jim Greer (Wendell Pierce – ‘Suits’, ‘The Wire’). Noomi Rapace (‘The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo’, ‘Prometheus’) plays Harriet “Harry” Baumann, a highly capable, sharply intelligent and intoxicatingly charming BND agent (Germany’s Secret Intelligence) who crosses paths with Ryan in South America. John Hoogenakker (‘Colony’, ‘Empire’) joins the cast as Matice, a tough and salty American who works black ops for the CIA. At first sceptical of what appears to be a desk jockey, he quickly develops a new respect for Ryan after seeing him handle himself in the field.
The series is executive produced by Carlton Cuse (‘Lost’, ‘Bates Motel’) and Graham Roland (‘Fringe’, ‘Prison Break’), who created the series for television and serve as co-showrunners. Michael Bay’s Platinum Dunes produce the show. Cuse, Roland, Krasinski, and Tyldum will exec produce the series with Bay along with Andrew Form (‘Transformers’, ‘Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles’) and Brad Fuller for Platinum Dunes. Additionally, Daniel Sackheim, (‘The Americans’), Mace Neufeld (‘Patriot Games’, ‘Clear and Present Danger’, ‘The Sum of All Fears’ and ‘Jack Ryan: Shadow Recruit’), Skydance’s David Ellison, Dana Goldberg (‘Mission: Impossible – Rogue Nation’, ‘Star Trek Beyond’) and Marcy Ross (‘Grace and Frankie’, ‘Altered Carbon’) also exec produce with Lindsey Springer and Allyson Seeger serving as co-executive producers.
‘Jack Ryan‘ Season 1 can be watched on Amazon Prime right now. Season 2 is due later in 2019.
