Jack Ryan season three is officially happening! The second season saw Ryan (John Krasinski) and James Greer (Wendell Pierce) back together again. Ryan had flown out to Venezuela to investigate an illegal shipment of weapons into the country. Greer, who started out in Russia, transferred to South America, where he ran into his former partner.
The Amazon Prime Video original show ‘Jack Ryan,’ based on Tom Clancy’s novels, is a popular action thriller drama that stars Jack Ryan, a CIA financial analysis expert who exposes the world’s nefarious plans and political jiggery-pokery. Graham Roland and Carlton Cuse serialize the show. This action thriller is a perfect depiction of what’s going on in the world now, as well as several governments’ secret operations. The series also focuses on Jack Ryan’s daily desk job, which has undergone a dramatic transformation. Fans are eagerly anticipating Jack Ryan Season 3 now that the second chapter has been released.
We can’t seem to get enough of a few Amazon series. One of them is Jack Ryan. It’s a fantastic adaptation of the Tom Clancy novels, with Krasinski doing an amazing job as the eponymous figure.
After a number of close calls – Tom Wlaschiha’s Max Schenkel tried to drown Ryan in a bath and Greer was taken hostage by President Reyes – they both made it out alive.
Jack Ryan season 3 potential release date: When’s the start date?
It has been confirmed (via Deadline) that season three wrapped in mid-October of 2021, which means the show is currently in its post-production phase.
The series has been filmed in multiple locations so far, including the UK, Colombia, Russia, Canada, Morocco and the US – so we’d expect an equally diverse spread in the upcoming episodes.
Unfortunately, there is still no premiere date. However, there has been some speculation over a nearby release. Jack Ryan actor John Krasinski took to Instagram to tease fans further. In an expired Instagram story, the show’s main character alluded to a spring release when he suggested season three would premiere sometime in the second quarter of 2022.
This places it somewhere between early March and late May. If your heart is just about racing with excitement, take a beat as Amazon has made no announcements in 2022. But rest assured we’ll keep you updated on all of the release date news.
The globe-trotting nature of the production also made it a particularly tricky affair.
“It was logistically challenging to work on all eight episodes that we’re shooting on three continents with four different directors and often two – and sometimes three – crews shooting at once,” showrunner Carlton Cuse told The Hollywood Reporter.
And just in case you wanted some insight into how long the show takes to make, this is what Cuse told TV Insider about the first season: “It was a huge undertaking. It’s kinda like mounting a huge feature film… it’s like an eight-hour movie.
“We spent the first year-and-a-half writing it. Then it took us a year-and-a-half to make it. We shot it in five cities on three continents.”
Executive producer Graham Roland added: “We had to actually go to the places. We couldn’t cheat the audience.”
With that in mind, we can just about forgive the delay. Just.
Jack Ryan season 4: What do we know?
If all this uncertainty has left you feeling a little flat you’ll be pleased to find out that Jack Ryan has been commissioned for a fourth season. The news was confirmed in an article via Deadline. Commence happy dance.
We also know Michael Peña will be joining the cast along with a comeback from AWOL fan favourite, Abbie Cornish’s Dr Cathy Mueller (more on both of those bombshells below).
Jack Ryan season 3 trailer: When can I watch it?
Not just yet. Trailers usually land in the month leading up to the premiere, so once we know that all-important date, we’ll have a better idea.
In the meantime, enjoy a refresher, courtesy of the season two trailer above.
Jack Ryan season 3: Will it air on Amazon, and how many episodes are there?
Both seasons one and two air exclusively on and season three will also follow that pattern.
The first two chapters had eight episodes apiece, so we’d expect the same of the third.
Jack Ryan season 3 cast: Who’s in it?
John Krasinski will obviously resume his role as Ryan.
Roland told Variety that when it came to casting the show’s lead, there was only one man for the job.
“He was the first guy we went to,” said Roland. “Jack Ryan’s superpower is his doggedness, his determination and, more than anything, his brain. I think that John has that. He’s a very intelligent guy… that comes across in his performance. And he also is a leading man.
“He’s got that relatability, that kind of Tom Hanks factor. He can play that classic hero that you can really see yourself in.”
Chatting to The Independent about what drew him to the role, Krasinski said: “I think that there’s an everyman quality to Jack that certainly my character in The Office [Jim Halpert] had, and I think that’s what I connected to.
“There was a nerdy part of me as a kid that went, ‘Oh, I could be Jack Ryan’ whereas I couldn’t be Superman. There is such an appeal to playing a guy who is a real person that you might see in a bar – he’s an actual superhero that could exist.”
It looks like Greer is finally done with fieldwork given his heart problems, which caused havoc throughout season two. We’d say he’s earned a nice spot of desk duty after being held captive.
With Greer likely to take on a more administrative role, Ryan will be needing a new field partner.
It was previously thought that Michael Kelly, who played CIA field officer Mike November, wouldn’t be back. But it’s since been reported by Deadline that he will feature in the upcoming episodes.
Betty Gabriel (Get Out, Clickbait) has replaced Marianne Jean-Baptiste (Blindspot) as Elizabeth Wright, the Chief of Station (via Deadline). According to the publication, Baptiste left the role due to “creative differences”.
Other new cast members include:
• James Cosmo (His Dark Materials, Game of Thrones) as Luca
• Peter Guinness (Cursed) as Petr
• Nina Hoss (Homeland) as Alena
• Alexej Manvelov (Before We Die) as Alexei
Amazon has also announced that Michael Peña will be joining the cast in an undisclosed role. However, fans of Peña will have to wait until season four for him to appear. Peña’s credits include the Ant-Man movies, Terence in the live-action animation of Tom and Jerry, American Hustle and the Netflix series Narcos: Mexico.
Plot Synopsis For Jack Ryan Season 3
Jack Ryan is a character in the film Jack Ryan Season 3 will see Jack Ryan fleeing from his opponents in Europe as he is wrongfully accused of a crime he has never committed. He is now being pursued by the CIA and a well-known international gang. He’ll have to hide somewhere and investigate a few political schemes at the same time. With the global catastrophe looming, Jack Ryan may have to choose between his personal safety and his job. Furthermore, several political events that occurred between 2020 and 2021 will be included in the third volume.
Jack Ryan season 3 cast: Will Dr Cathy Mueller return?
There’s also Abbie Cornish’s Dr Cathy Mueller, who was notably absent from season two. Could she return? Her story feels unfinished and vast swathes of fans have demanded answers regarding her exit.
Well, fans will be delighted to find that Abbie Cornish will be reprising her role, but not until season four.
Her return (reported via Deadline) will no doubt address the mystery surrounding the abrupt end to Cathy and Ryan’s romance. The two weren’t given a proper end to their relationship, the only clue being a throwaway mention of Jack being single.
Though there was not a single mention of her in season two, fans will be eager to find out what happened to Cathy, and whether or not she and Jack will rekindle their romance.
Currently, the creators have remained tight-lipped as there is no information on how Cathy will make her return. Hopefully, it’s more satisfying than her exit.
However, we do know that Cuse, who worked alongside Roland for both seasons one and two, has stepped down from that role. He will remain as an executive producer, but his input will be significantly less. A reason was not given.
Variety reported back in October that Prison Break creator Paul Scheuring looked set to replace him. This came after David Scarpa (The Last Castle, The Day the Earth Stood Still 2008 remake, All the Money in the World) was originally on board, but eventually stepped down.
But according to Deadline, “after giving it a try on Jack Ryan, [Scheuring] found it not to be a good fit and asked to be released”. Instead, Vaun Wilmott (Prison Break, Star Trek: Discovery) has taken over.
Was Jack Ryan’s show canceled?
No. The performance was delayed for obvious reasons due to all that was going on, but it was not canceled. In fact, the rumor on the street is that Jack Ryan Season 3 will premiere by the end of 2022.
Jack Ryan season 3 plot: What will happen?
According to Deadline, Ryan is a fugitive in season three, on the run from the CIA and an “international rogue faction”, after being swept up in a conspiracy. He’s simultaneously trying to stay alive and stop the nefarious forces at work against both him and the common good.
Yikes! That all sounds very exciting to us.
It’s a plot that has the potential to expand the scope of a series that was already ambitious.
“A lot of times in TV you start at a place of unlimited ambition and adjust it to fit the parameters of schedule and budget,” Cuse told The Hollywood Reporter. “Amazon gave us the time and resources to tell our story on a movie scale and make the show the way [co-writer] Graham Roland and I wanted to make it.
“On the downside, it was logistically challenging to work on all eight episodes that we’re shooting on three continents with four different directors and often two – and sometimes three – crews shooting at once. When we were making Lost, it was the biggest, most complicated scripted show in the world. Jack Ryan is a logical extension of that.”
Making the show involves an incredible amount of forward planning, to create that cinematic feel. This process will continue for season three and beyond.
“The first thing we determined was we needed to write all eight episodes of the show ahead of time. And then we cross-boarded the entire show so it was like a movie. So we were shooting bits and pieces of all eight episodes across a six-month period of time. And that was something I’d never done before,” Cuse told IndieWire.
Jack Ryan: How long will the series run for?
Cuse isn’t massively into playing guessing games with the plot. He prefers fans and writers to take it season by season, and if he has his way it’ll carry on long past the next chapter.
“I think the franchise has enormous legs,” he told IndieWire. “There will be a lot of other chapters to Jack Ryan. I think that it’s hard to get too far in front of Jack Ryan because I think the essence of the show is to tell these geopolitical thrillers of the moment.”
Krasinski told The Independent that he believes the series is a more effective device for exploring the character of Jack Ryan than a big blockbuster movie: “The books have literally thousands of rich, dense pages with specifics about the character and the world around him. We get to play with how he feels about all this stuff, whereas in the movies he gets a call and then he’s suddenly on a plane or a submarine.”
In the books, Ryan ends up in the White House, but don’t expect season three to take a giant leap forward in the timeline. We’re not going to see President Ryan for a long time – that’s if it ever happens on the show.
“In the Clancy books, he goes from being an analyst in Hunt for Red October to becoming the president of the United States,” Cuse told IndieWire. “And it felt like the sweet spot was in that moment where he goes from being an analyst to being an operative in the field for the first time.
“That was the part that seemed the most traumatic and compelling. In our version, it’s kind of a prequel to everything that’s gone on. He’s only worked in the CIA for four years, which is less than in the books.”
“Kathy Mueller is his wife in the books. They’re just meeting and dating in our story. James Greer, played beautifully and augustly by James Earl Jones in the films, is sitting in a fancy corner office at the top floor of the CIA. And in our story, [as played by Wendell Pierce], he’s just one rung above Jack Ryan in the hierarchy. We wanted to be able to put those guys together and let them team up.”
Jack Ryan seasons one and two are available to stream now on.
