New on Prime Video: America’s Most Famous Spy returns for one final season

Viewers found him in the office, and fans of the Marvel Universe remember his brief appearance as Mr. Fantastic in Doctor Strange 2.

But since 2018, in the more serious but no less iconic role of Jack Ryan, John Krasinski has been showing his acting talent after Prime Video subscribers!

The Jack Ryan series marks the first series inspired by Tom Clancy’s novels, but not the first screen incarnation of the character. Often adapted to film, the latter notably starred Alec Baldwin, Harrison Ford, Ben Affleck and Chris Pine. Thus, John Krasinski is the fifth actor to offer his features to Jack Ryan.

This Amazon production is not strictly an adaptation of the novels, as the plot of the series follows the original story. In addition to the main character, other characters were thus created for the needs of the series, starting with the side hero James Greer, played by Wendell Pierce.

Rarely mentioned among Prime Video’s most popular performances, Jack Ryan still enjoyed mostly positive reviews during its run. A faithful and modern adaptation of the famous American spy adventure, the series also benefits from a budget that allows it to expand its filming to four corners of the world.

For his performance, John Krasinski was nominated for a Screen Actors Guild Award in 2019. A fair reward for the latter, who knew how to find the perfect blend of innocence and physical presence to infiltrate this CIA analyst who was forced to act as a field agent.

It’s apparently not too late to catch up on the adventures of Jack Ryan, as the show’s fourth and final season begins airing on Amazon Prime Video this Friday, June 30!
