"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. The new season will take our unexpected hero to a new, exciting and dangerous world", said Jennifer Salke, Head of Amazon Studios.
The popular character created by Clancy will be played by John Krasinski (A Quiet Place, 13 Hours). He will also serve as an executive producer alongside Carlton Cuse (Lost, Bates Motel) and Graham Roland (Fringe, Prison Break). Wendell Pierce (The Wire) also stars in the series and will reprise his role as James Greer in the eight-episode second season.
"We're thrilled that the first season has generated so much enthusiasm," stated Cuse. "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."
