Season 3 of Jack Ryan was officially confirmed on Amazon Prime Video, but a lot of questions still remain about the new season. Season 2 left fans on a cliff hanger after Jack Ryan, played by the brilliant John Krasinski, teamed up with former colleague James Greer (Wendell Pierce), CIA Station Chief in Venezuela Mike November (Michael Kelly), and German intelligence operator Harriet "Harry" Baumann (Noomi Rapace), amongst others, as they investigated a shocking conspiracy.
From a mysterious satellite launched in the South China Sea to the suspicious Presidential election in Venezuela, the team pulled together to uncover the truth and left fans wanting to see more. While the season is confirmed, due to delays in filming, it is still very up in the air when the season will air and what it will be about. Recommended here more information about this topic.
The New Season Will See Jack Globe-Trotting Once Again
No spy thriller is the same without its use of different locations and global feel. The James Bond films are the perfect examples of using multiple locations to shoot a spy movie, as did Tenet last year, and Jack Ryan hasn't disappointed with its first two seasons. In season 2, for example, the show was filmed in five different cities on three different continents, and season 3 will follow in a similar fashion.
The upcoming episodes have been filmed in many locations, including the UK, Colombia, Russia, Canada, Morocco, and the US so far, so who knows what Jack Ryan will be investigating, but the geopolitical thriller will most definitely feature plenty of new and worldwide settings.
Yes, John Krasinski Will Definitely Return As The Main Protagonist
To many John Krasinski is known by many as Jim Halpert from The Office. There he is an incredibly likable character, one of the best pranksters of all time, quite smug, and has one of the best on-screen TV relationships with Pam of all time. But, in his latest TV role, he stars as the up-and-coming, incredibly intelligent, CIA analyst Jack Ryan.
Krasinski is definitely the right man for the job, and it's hard to imagine anyone else playing the iconic role, so it's not a surprise that he will continue to star and lead in the new season. It's not yet known what's in store for Jack Ryan, but John Krasinski will definitely play the character.
A More Administrative Role May Be In Store For Wendell Pierce's James Greer
By the end of season 2, it began to look like James Greer, played by the amazing Wendell Pierce, may finally be stepping back from his role on the field, and it looks like his role in the next season could see him behind a desk more often than not. As fans know, Greer was suffering from heart problems in season 2, which caused some havoc, so he may decide to take it a bit easier.
After being held captive and some intense missions, Greer will most likely take on a more administered role, and act like the guy in the chair for Jack Ryan as he goes about his business. An exclusive deleted scene from season 2, as reported by ScreenRant, shows Greer putting together a team of agents, in Nick Fury style, which also adds to the idea that he might end up as the guy behind the scenes.
Who Could Jack Ryan's Mini Avengers-Style Team Include?
After the tease of Greer forming a new team in that deleted scene, fans can expect this new team to be a major plot point for the new season. But questions remain around who else, besides Jack Ryan, will be in the team. In need of more analysts and field officers, perhaps Jack Ryan season 3 will feature some brand new exciting characters.
In fact, it is reported that Marianne Jean-Baptiste, who has had roles in shows such as Blindspot and Without A Trace, is set to join the cast as Chief of Station. Could she be a member of this new team? Quite possibly. New cast members will be announced soon, and fans can't wait to see what kind of team the show could introduce.
