Amazon Orders Tom Clancy's Jack Ryan To Series

Amazon announced earlier this month that it has ordered to series Tom Clancy's Jack Ryan 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.

"We're excited to add the Jack Ryan global franchise to our robust originals pipeline," said Roy Price, head of Amazon Studios. "Our customers will enjoy a compelling adaptation of the action-packed spy thriller book series."

Tom Clancy's Jack Ryan follows an up-and-coming CIA analyst thrust into a dangerous field assignment for the first time. Set to executive produce are Carlton Cuse and Graham Roland, who wrote the pilot based on a story he and Cuse developed. The series follows Ryan 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.

An expected premiere date was not announced.
