Jack Ryan is based on characters created by author Tom Clancy in his “Ryanverse” franchise. Krasinski is the fifth actor to play Jack Ryan, joining Alec Baldwin, Harrison Ford, Ben Affleck, and Chris Pine. However, Krasinski is the first to portray the character on television.
Created by Carlton Cuse and Graham Roland, Tom Clancy’s Jack Ryan starred Krasinski in the titular role as he goes from an analyst working behind a desk to a daring operative working in the field. Jack Ryan’s four seasons included storylines about an Islamic extremist making suspicious bank transfers, political warfare in Venezuela, nuclear bombs created by ex-Soviet Union members, and corruption within the CIA.
Premiering in August 2018, Jack Ryan ran for four seasons on Amazon Prime Video. Jack Ryan became a popular program for Prime Video, drawing 1.15 billion minutes of viewing during the week that the final two episodes of season 4 premiered.
