'Jack Ryan' Season 2 Air Date, Spoilers: Cast, Plot, Setting and All the Latest Updates We Know

“Jack Ryan” season 2 is Amazon’s TV adaptation of Tom Clancy’s novel series. It premiered with great viewership ratings and feedback thus it is no wonder that the studio renewed the action-packed show prior to the first season’s release on Amazon Prime Video.

Back in April 2018, Variety quoted Amazon executive Jennifer Salke as saying with regards to “Jack Ryan” season 2’s renewal, "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."

Salke also revealed that when “Jack Ryan” season 2 returns, the viewers will see more action and thrilling scenes as they take the series’ protagonist “to a new, exciting and dangerous world.” The early renewal simply showed Amazon’s absolute confidence that the small screen adaption of Tom Clancy’s books would be a hit to the viewers despite being new.

Plot

“Jack Ryan” season 2 is expected to present the same formula as with season 1 but it would be more fierce. This means that the second installation will feature more intriguing plot lines, shocking twists and more daring actions.

In any case, the series’ showrunners Carlton Cuse and Graham Roland revealed through their interview with The Hollywood Reporter, that “Jack Ryan” season 2 is set in a new location. They chose South America but they filmed the show in several other places too like Europe, Asia and North America.

As for the story, Cuse shared, “We see each one of these seasons like a different book in the series. We're taking these two characters of Jack Ryan and Jim Greer and putting them in a wholly different story and in this case, a political thriller in South America that's kind of an allegory for the decline of democracy.”

He added, “Part of the fun of the story is unwinding out of the end of season one when we know Greer is off to Russia. There's a little bit of carryover where you benefit from seeing season one, but really, you could watch season two and it will be its own narrative.”

Cast

“Jack Ryan” season 2 will still star John Krasinski in the lead role as Jack Ryan while Abbie Cornish is set to return as his fiancee, Cathy Mueller. Of course, Wendell Pierce will also reprise his role as James Greer, the CIA veteran. Amazon also added more stars as series regulars and they are Noomi Rapace, Michael Kelly, Jovan Adepo, Cristina Umaña, Jordi Molla and Francisco Denis while Tom Wlaschiha has joined the lineup for a recurring role.

Air Date

“Jack Ryan” season 2 has no release date yet but showrunner Carlton Cuse revealed in September 2018 that it's almost a year since they started working on the drama thus it is likely that Amazon Prime will announce its premiere very soon. Some fans predicted that it will arrive in August just like the first season.
