The movie continues the story of Jack Ryan, which has become one of Prime Video’s top three most-watched series globally. Following the final two episodes of the fourth and final season, the show amassed 1.15 billion minutes of viewing, per Nielsen. As production ramps up, Krasinski and Allyson Seeger, along with Andrew Form, are producing through their Sunday Night banner.
The new film will feature the ongoing collaboration of Skydance, Amazon MGM Studios, and Paramount Television Studios. Executive producers include Skydance’s David Ellison (Altered Carbon, Grace and Frankie) and Dana Goldberg (Grace and Frankie, Dietland), along with John Kelly (Quackser Fortune Has a cousin in the Bronx, Chisum), Carlton Cuse (Lost, Tom Clancy’s Jack Ryan), and Clancy’s estate. Fans of the series can expect an action-packed continuation of the thrilling spy saga.
