The success of John Krasinski this past month can not be ignored. He began the month with the highly critical and commercially successful, A Quiet Place. He is ending the month with Amazon officially renewing an eight-episode second season of Tom Clancy’s Jack Ryan, starring and executive produced by John Krasinski himself, well ahead of the action drama series’ August 31 global debut on Prime Video.
In season two, Jack Ryan (Krasinski) confronts the forces of a declining democratic regime in South America. The second season commences production this summer in Europe, South America and the United States. Also returning for Season 2 is Wendell Pierce who will reprise his role as James Greer.
Jennifer Salke, Head of Amazon studios stated,
“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. 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.”
As a big fan of Krasinski, all this praise this month is well deserved.
