Into the 'Ryanverse'

After a three-year pause due to the pandemic, the long-awaited action-thriller series Tom Clancy's Jack Ryan is finally back to Prime Video and on our screens for its third season. Often referred to as America's version of James Bond, Jack Ryan is based on characters from the fictional "Ryanverse" political drama created by author Tom Clancy. The man is a CIA analyst and multitalented individual who's always saving the day. Season 3 also sees the return of John Krasinski as Jack Ryan, a role once played by a number of famous actors such as Harrison Ford, Alec Baldwin, Ben Affleck and Chris Pine, with Krasinski being the fifth to do so.

In this eight-episode season, Jack is thrust into a dangerous field assignment after he uncovers a pattern in terrorist communication which in turn launches him on a dangerous mission to confirm the intelligence. But things quickly go awry, and he is wrongly implicated in a larger conspiracy. Accused of treason, with a Red Notice out for his arrest, Jack is forced to run from his own government if he is to have any hope of uncovering the rogue faction before it's too late. Crisscrossing Europe while hunted by former allies and new enemies alike, Jack races against the clock to stop a cascade of destabilising conflicts from leading to global catastrophe.
