The third season of Jack Ryan is finally here! Ryan (John Krasinski) and James Greer (Wendell Pierce) were reunited in the second season of the show. As part of his job, Ryan was dispatched to Venezuela to look into an alleged smuggling of firearms into the country’s borders. In South America, Greer met up with his ex-girlfriend, who had previously worked with him in Russia.
It wasn’t long before the two realised that they had a lot in common, and so they formed a partnership.
Max Schenkel attempted to drown Ryan in the bath and President Reyes kidnapped Greer, but they both made it out of the situation unscathed.
Here’s why you’ll recognise this new character from the second season of Jack Ryan:
What, then, lies ahead in this storey? Everything you need to know about the upcoming third season of Jack Ryan is laid out here.

When will the third season of Jack Ryan premiere?
According to Deadline, work for Season 3 was completed in the middle of October of 2021, meaning the show is currently in post-production.
With filming taking place across the globe, we can expect to see a wide range of places in the next few episodes.
Unfortunately, the premiere date has yet to be announced. A possible publication date in the near future has been mooted, however. On Instagram, John Krasinski continued to tease followers about Jack Ryan. The main character of the show hinted at a spring release in an expired Instagram storey when he suggested season three would debut in the second quarter of 2022.
Between March and May, it’s likely to be in bloom. In 2022, Amazon has made no announcements, so take a breather if you’re on the edge of your seat. Rest assured, though, that we’ll keep you informed as soon as a release date is announced.
The fact that the show was taking place all across the world added an extra layer of complexity.
A logistical challenge was posed by shooting all eight episodes simultaneously on three countries with four different directors and two or three teams, according to creator Carlton Cuse, who spoke to The Hollywood Reporter about the situation.
To give you an idea of how long it takes to produce a season, here’s what Cuse had to say to TV Insider about the first season: “It was a massive project.” It’s like putting together an eight-hour feature film.
Writing it took us a year and a half.” After that, it took us an additional year and a half to complete. On three continents, we shot it in five cities.
According to executive producer Graham Roland, “We had to go visit the locations ourselves. No matter how hard we tried, we couldn’t fool the audience.”
In light of this, we’re willing to overlook the hiccups. Just.
What do we know about Jack Ryan in Season 4?
To assuage your nerves, we’re happy to report that Jack Ryan has been renewed for a fourth season on the CW. Deadline confirmed the storey in a report. Begin your happy dance now.
AWOL fan favourite Dr. Cathy Mueller, played by Abbie Cornish, will make a reappearance, as will Michael Pea (more on both of those bombshells below).
The trailer for the third season of Jack Ryan: When can I see it?
No, not yet. Once we have the release date, we’ll have a better notion of what to expect from the trailers.
In the meantime, check out the season two trailer above to get a taste of what’s to come.
How many episodes will there be in the third season of Jack Ryan?
Unlike seasons one and two, season three will only be available on Amazon Prime Video.
We’d expect the third chapter to have the same number of episodes as the previous two.
Who’s in the Jack Ryan cast for season 3?
Obviously, John Krasinski will return to the character of Ryan.
It was Roland’s opinion that there was only one person who could play the show’s protagonist.
Roland explained, “He was the first person we went to.” ‘The doggedness, perseverance, and brains of Jack Ryan are the man’s greatest superpowers.’ I believe John possesses it. He’s a smart guy, and that’s evident in his work. Furthermore, he is one of the film’s most prominent characters.
“He’s got that Tom Hanks element, that relatability.” He has the ability to portray a traditional hero that you can identify with,” he says.
It was the everyman nature of Jack that clearly my character in The Office (Jim Halpert) had, and I think that’s what I identified with, which is what Krasinski explained to The Independent about what drew him to the role.
It wasn’t until I was a teenager that I realised that I could be Jack Ryan, but not Superman.” There is an allure to portraying a character who could live in the real world as a superhero who might be seen in a bar.
Due to his cardiac issues, Greer appears to have finished his fieldwork for the season. After being imprisoned for so long, we’d think he’s earned himself a fine job behind a desk.
Ryan will need a new field partner now that Greer is expected to take on a more administrative role.
Michael Kelly, who played CIA field officer Mike November, has previously been rumoured not to return. However, Deadline has claimed that he will be appearing in the forthcoming episodes of the show.
In place of Marianne Jean-Baptiste (Blindspot), Betty Gabriel (Get Out, Clickbait) is now Elizabeth Wright, the Chief of Station (via Deadline). For “creative differences,” according to the publication, Baptiste resigned.
Additionally, there are a number of new cast members:
He is played by Game of Thrones star James Cosmo (His Dark Materials), who has also appeared in the series.
Cursed’s Peter Guinness (Cursed) as Petr
Alison (Homeland) is portrayed by the talented actress Nina Hoss.
Before We Die’s Alexei is played by Alexej Manvelov.
Additionally, Amazon has revealed that Michael Pea will be joining the cast in an unknown role. Fans of Pea, on the other hand, will have to wait until the fourth season to see him. Ant-Man, Tom and Jerry, American Hustle, Narcos: Mexico and Narcos: Mexico are just some of Pea’s film and television credits.
Will Dr. Cathy Mueller be back for the third season of Jack Ryan?
Cathy Mueller, played by Abbie Cornish, is also back in season three. Could she make a comeback? Many of her followers are still asking why she left the show without giving them any closure.
Fans will be happy to learn that Abbie Cornish will return to the show in season four, but not before then.
She is expected to solve the question of how Cathy and Ryan’s relationship came to an abrupt halt. Only a brief reference of Jack’s single status was enough to indicate the termination of their relationship.
The fans are eager to learn what happened to Cathy and whether or not she and Jack would restart their romance despite the fact that she was barely mentioned in season two.
There is currently no word from the show’s creators as to how Cathy will return. This should be better than her leave.
Although Cuse, who worked with Roland for both seasons one and two, has stepped down from that post, we do know that he has. Aside from his executive producer role, he will have a smaller role in the filmmaking process. There was no explanation given.
Prison Break creator Paul Scheuring was expected to take his position, as reported by Variety back in October. A replacement had been found after the departure of David Scarpa (The Last Castle, Remake of The Day the Earth Stood Still in 2008, and All the Money in the World).
“[Scheuring] felt it not to be a good fit and asked to be released,” Deadline quotes Deadline as saying. This time around, Vaun Wilmott (Prison Break, Star Trek: Discovery) has grabbed the reigns.
What can we expect from the third season of Jack Ryan?
As Deadline puts it, Ryan is on the run from both the CIA and a “international rogue faction” in season three after he gets caught up in a plot. On top of that, he’s trying to keep himself and the rest of humanity safe at the same time.
Yikes! We think it’s going to be a lot of fun.
With a plot like this, a series that was already ambitious may become even more so.
Cuse told The Hollywood Reporter that “a lot of times in TV you start at a place of boundless ambition and alter it to fit the limits of scheduling and budget. With the help of Amazon, we could tell our tale on a movie-scale and produce the show we had always envisioned,” says co-creator Graham Roland.
Having to work on all eight episodes across three continents with four different directors and typically two and even three crews shooting at the same time was logistically tough.” When Lost was in production, it was the world’s largest and most complex scripted show. That’s why Jack Ryan makes sense.”
To achieve a cinematic atmosphere, the show’s production requires a great deal of forethought. Season three and beyond will see the continuation of this process.
When we started working on the project, the first thing we decided was that we needed to write all eight episodes in advance. To make the show feel like a movie, we cross-boarded the entire thing. It was a six-month period of time where we were filming all eight episodes. According to IndieWire, “That was something I’d never done before.”
For how long are you planning to air each season of Jack Ryan?
Cuse isn’t a big fan of making wild speculations about the storey. Season by season, he prefers, and if he has his way, it will continue well into the next chapter.
He told IndieWire that he believes the franchise has “enormous legs.” “Jack Ryan has a lot more stories to tell. When it comes to geopolitical thrillers, I don’t think it’s possible for anyone to get too far ahead of Jack Ryan,” he says.
The Independent quotes Krasinski as saying, “The books include literally hundreds of deep, thick pages with specifics about the man and the environment around him. They’re more powerful than a massive blockbuster movie.” While in the movies, he receives a call and then he’s on a plane or a submarine, we get to play with how he feels about all of this.”
You should expect season three to take some time, but don’t expect it to jump forward in time like the books. If it ever happens on the programme, we won’t see President Ryan for a long time.
According to Cuse, “In the Clancy books, he progresses from an analyst in Hunt for Red October to becoming the president of the United States.” When he transitioned from being an analyst to working in the field for the first time, I thought that was when the magic happened.
“That was the most harrowing and gripping aspect of the storey. In our interpretation, it serves as a sort of prelude to the events that have occurred. Unlike the books, he has only worked for the Central Intelligence Agency for four years.
“In the novels, Kathy Mueller is his wife. In our scenario, they’re just getting to know each other. Atop the CIA, James Greer, played by James Earl Jones in the films, sits in a luxurious corner office. So, in our scenario, he is just one step above Jack Ryan in terms of rank. The idea was that we could bring those guys together and allow them to work together as a team.”
The Jack Ryan series on Amazon can be considered a precursor. That won’t change in season three or any subsequent seasons.
