It was worth the wait to watch Tom Clancy’s Jack Ryan Season 3. Beginning on an interesting note, the John Krasinski-starring series returns to Amazon Prime Video today ( December 21). As Ryan, who is currently based in Rome, unearths a covert Russian scheme to annex neighbouring countries and rebuild the Soviet empire, we are introduced to him.
In the Jack Ryan Season 3 episodes, Ryan tries to inform the CIA about his information concerning Russia, but instead of taking him seriously, they turn on him and issue a Red Notice demanding his arrest and extradition back to the US to face charges. Wendell Pierce’s portrayal of Ryan’s former boss James Greer offers what assistance he can from within, and Ryan seeks out his old friend Mike November.
Amazon Prime video reported “We are aware of an audio issue on some devices for Season 3 of Tom Clancy’s Jack Ryan and are working quickly to resolve. We will continue to update. Thank you for your patience.”
The Covid-19 lockdown caused a delay in the Jack Ryan filming. During that time, Krasinski shifted his attention to a fortnightly home-produced programme called Some Good News, which shared encouraging tales in the midst of a gloomy period.
Kraskinski jokes his Some Good News shape was ideal because you never saw him standing up as he was always seated like a newscaster. “You didn’t even see the bottom half of me. That’s where I felt most comfortable,” he said.
When it came time to get to work, Krasinski claimed he was inspired by the thought that the programme would provide many people a cause to start working again after waiting for months.
“It was actually a very cleansing thing,” said Krasinski, who is also an executive producer and helps write the episodes. “I took a great responsibility with all these hundreds of people who were brave enough to put their lives on the line to bring back our industry in some small way.
“It was almost like getting into my best possible shape and self, both physically and mentally, to prepare for something that we knew would be much more different and much more harrowing, but hopefully that much more worth it.”
In the midst of all the excitement and impending disaster, Krasinski and Kelly’s connection on screen offers some comic relief. For Kelly, who is known for playing serious characters in shows like House of Cards, having those lighter on-screen moments is a welcome change.
Jack Ryan Season 3 is binge-worthy
“John will write a lot of those one-liners for me on the day and I’m so grateful I get to have the humor. To get to play something a little closer to myself was such a treat,” said Kelly.
Jack Ryan has also made Kelly appreciative of the dedication of those who protect us on a daily basis “from the Navy SEALs all the way to Port Authority police officers.” He says many are fans of the show and like to talk to him about the realities of the job.
“I tell my kids all the time, ‘(When) we pass a police officer, say thank you… You see someone in the armed services. You say thank you.’ Our veterans, they come home and are so underserved in this country. We need to be doing more and we need to be saying thank you more.”
For Pierce, the role has given him a fresh perspective into his own brother who served as a military attache in Belarus.
“I realized there was so much that he did that I did not know about, and he didn’t share with the family. I just wanted to make sure he knew that he could share with me now that he’s out of the military, the impact that it has. It gives me a lot of food for thought. And really the study of human behavior is what acting is all about.”
Tom Clancy’s Jack Ryan will conclude with its fourth season, which has already finished filming. Its release date has not yet been announced.
