SEATTLE–(BUSINESS WIRE)–(NASDAQ: AMZN)—Amazon today announced it has greenlit Tom Clancy’s
Jack Ryan from Paramount and Skydance Television, to debut on
Amazon Prime Video. The one-hour, 10-episode dramatic series is slated
to star John
Krasinski (13 Hours, The Office) as Jack Ryan and is
projected to shoot in the US, Europe and Africa. Jack Ryan is a
reinvention with a modern sensibility of the famed and lauded Tom Clancy
hero, a character with a star-filled Hollywood history, having been
previously portrayed by Alec Baldwin, Harrison Ford, Ben Affleck and
Chris Pine.
Tom Clancy’s Jack Ryan follows an up-and-coming CIA analyst
thrust into a dangerous field assignment for the first time. Set to
executive produce are Carlton
Cuse (Lost, Bates Motel) and Graham
Roland (Almost Human), who wrote the pilot based on a story
he and Cuse developed. The series follows Ryan (Krasinski) as he
uncovers a pattern in terrorist communication that launches him into the
center of a dangerous gambit with a new breed of terrorism that
threatens destruction on a global scale. Jack Ryan is set to
be co-produced with Paramount and Skydance Television, executive
produced by Platinum
Dunes’ Michael
Bay, Brad
Fuller, and Andrew
Form (Transformers, Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles), as well as
Skydance’s David
Ellison, Dana
Goldberg and Marcy
Ross, along with Mace
Neufeld (Patriot Games, Clear and Present Danger, The Sum of
All Fears and Jack Ryan: Shadow Recruit) and Lindsey
Springer.
“We’re excited to add the Jack Ryan global franchise to our
robust originals pipeline,” said Roy Price, Head of Amazon Studios. “Our

thriller book series, further raising the bar for the quality level of
