Tom Clancy's Jack Ryan Season 3: Release Date, Cast, And More

(Welcome to ...And More, our no-frills, zero B.S. guide to when and where you can watch upcoming movies and shows, and everything else you could possibly stand to know.)

Tom Clancy's "Jack Ryan" has been away for a long, long time. The show originally debuted on Amazon Prime Video in August of 2018, with a second season following in October of 2019. But it has been a full three years since we've seen John Krasinski as Clancy's famed literary creation brought to life, in no small part due to the pandemic. But fear not! The show is set to return later this year and we have all of the details to get you ready for Mr. Ryan's return, which will pave the way for the show's fourth and final season.

Here is everything you need to know about "Jack Ryan" season 3.

"Jack Ryan" season 3 will debut on Amazon Prime Video on December 21, 2022. Consider it an early Christmas present. The season will consist of eight episodes, all of which will stream exclusively on Prime Video. That means those who wish to watch it will need to be subscribed as it won't be available elsewhere.

The show is based on Tom Clancy's book series/character of the same name. The show centers on CIA analyst Jack Ryan (John Krasinski) who was sitting behind a desk looking over financial transactions. But following the money leads him and his boss to a terrorist mastermind behind a horrific attack in Paris. With some help, Jack becomes an unexpected hero as he races to stop the extremist from unleashing an insidious assault on U.S. soil. But that was just the beginning.

The show's third season was executive produced by Andrew Form, Allyson Seeger, John Krasinski, Vaun Wilmott, Brad Fuller, Michael Bay, Tom Clancy, David Ellison, Dana Goldberg, Bill Bost, Mace Neufeld, and Carlton Cuse. The series is a co-production between Amazon Studios, Paramount Television Studios, and Skydance Television. No word yet on who will be in the director's chair for the upcoming episodes.

Krasinski will have some company in the third season, both familiar and new. Also returning for the third season are Wendell Pierce as James Greer and Michael Kelly as Mike November. Joining the cast are new series regulars Nina Hoss as Alena Kovac, and Betty Gabriel as Elizabeth Wright.

While there is no trailer for "Jack Ryan" season 3 (as of this writing), we do have a teaser poster for the show's long-awaited return. Aside from that, we also have a synopsis that clues us into the story, which you can read for yourself below:

"Season three of the action-thriller series finds Jack Ryan on the run and in a race against time. Jack is wrongly implicated in a larger conspiracy and suddenly finds himself a fugitive out in the cold. Now, wanted by both the CIA and an international rogue faction that he has uncovered, Jack is forced underground, crisscrossing Europe, trying to stay alive, while preventing a massive global conflict."
