Business Wire
(NASDAQ: AMZN)—Amazon today announced it has greenlit season two
of Tom Clancy’s Jack Ryan ahead of its global series
debut set for August 31 on Prime Video. Tom Clancy’s Jack
Ryan, from Paramount Television and Skydance Television, is a
reinvention with a modern sensibility of the famed and lauded Tom
Clancy hero played by John Krasinski (A Quiet Place, 13
Hours). The creators of the series, Executive Producers Carlton
Cuse (Lost, Bates Motel) and Graham Roland (Fringe,
Prison Break), will continue to serve as Co-Showrunners.
Additionally, Krasinski, who also serves as an Executive Producer,
will be reunited with Wendell Pierce (The Wire) who will
reprise his role as James Greer in the eight-episode second
season.
In season two, Jack Ryan confronts the forces in power in a
dangerous, declining democratic regime in South America. The second
season commences production this summer in Europe, South America
and the United States.
After Amazon’s Super Bowl ads, Amazon saw a more than 400%
increase in Prime members placing Tom Clancy’s Jack Ryan on their
watchlist.
“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. “The new
season will take our unexpected hero to a new, exciting and
dangerous world.”
“We’re thrilled that the first season has generated so much
enthusiasm,” stated 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.”
The show is produced by Paramount Television, Cuse’s Genre
Arts, Michael Bay’s Platinum Dunes and David Ellison’s
Skydance Television. Executive producing along with Cuse, Roland
and Krasinski are Platinum Dune’s Bay, Andrew Form and Brad
Fuller. Additionally, Lindsey Springer, Mace Neufeld, Vince
Calandra, Andrew Bernstein and Skydance’s Ellison, Dana
Goldberg and Marcy Ross will also executive produce the second
season with Allyson Seeger serving as a co-executive producer.
