Amazon 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 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” centres on an up-and-coming CIA analyst thrust into a dangerous field assignment for the first time. It 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.
Set to executive produce are Carlton Cuse and Graham Roland, who wrote the pilot based on a story he and Cuse developed. “Jack Ryan” will be co-produced with Paramount and Skydance Television, executive produced by Platinum Dunes’ Michael Bay, Brad Fuller, and Andrew Form, as well as Skydance’s David Ellison, Dana Goldberg and Marcy Ross, along with Mace Neufeld and Lindsey Springer.
