JACK RYAN Season 2: Amazon Renews the John Krasinski-Led Show Ahead of its Series Premiere
April 24, 2018 by Marisa Roffman
Amazon has ordered JACK RYAN season 2…months before the first season drops on its Prime streaming service.
“With so much early anticipation for Tom Clancy’s Jack Ryan from our customers and personally having the pleasure to preview the exhilarating, action-packed first season, we are excited to greenlight a second season of the series months ahead of its debut,” said Jennifer Salke, Head of Amazon Studios, in a statement. “The new season will take our unexpected hero to a new, exciting and dangerous world.”
The series stars John Krasinski as the title character (who was also the focus of Clancy’s 18-part book series), a CIA analyst who gets pulled “from the safety of his desk job and catapults him into a deadly game of cat and mouse throughout Europe and the Middle East.”
Per the streaming service, in the sophomore season “Jack Ryan confronts the forces in power in a dangerous, declining democratic regime in South America.” The new year will film this summer in Europe, South America and the United States.
“We’re thrilled that the first season has generated so much enthusiasm,” said co-showrunner Carlton Cuse. “We couldn’t be happier to be working with Amazon and to be filming very near the Amazon to tell the next great Jack Ryan adventure.”
“From day one we only had one actor on our casting board for this series – John Krasinski,” said Amy Powell, President of Paramount Television. “We are so excited that he is our Jack Ryan and we get to make another season with this incredibly talented team. We have been blown away by what our whole team has delivered for season one and we can’t wait for everyone to see it this summer.”
