One of the most anticipated new series of the summer, Amazon Prime’s Jack Ryan is about to launch. The action drama series starring John Krasinski will premiere on Amazon Prime on Friday, August 31st. According to Deadline , the show created quite a buzz, enough for Amazon Studios to renew Jack Ryan for a second season. Fans of the series, as well as Tom Clancy's original novels, may be dying to know when Jack Ryan Season 2 will premiere.
An exact premiere date for the action drama's return has yet to be confirmed, but the Associated Press reports that filming has already begun on Season 2, which is a good indication that there will be a relatively quick transition between seasons. Amazon will have to work hard to keep up with demand for the show, since according to Den of Geek, a Jack Ryan ad that ran during the 2018 Super Bowl resulted in a 400% increase in its Prime memberships — and no, that's not a joke. Concrete evidence of audience excitement prompted Amazon to renew "Jack Ryan" for a second season before the first season premiered. According to Den of Geek, Amazon Studios head Jennifer Salke explained in a statement:
With so much anticipation from our customers for Tom Clancy's Jack Ryan , and having personally had the pleasure of previewing the exciting, action-packed first season, we're thrilled to greenlight the series months before it premieres second season. The new season will bring our unexpected heroes into a new, exciting and dangerous world.
According to SFGate, the first season of "Jack Ryan" will tell the story of a CIA agent on his first day on the job fighting terrorism in the Middle East, while according to Deadline, the second season will focus on the political instability in South America. New cast members have also been announced to join the Jack Ryan team, including Michael Kelly as veteran CIA agent Mike Novell, Noomi Rapace Rapace will play German intelligence agent Harriett Baumann, as well as other new actors.

Apparently, the eponymous character Jack Ryan is still in the cast for season two. Actor John Krasinski's transformation from lanky sitcom actor to full-blown action star quickly took the internet by storm and caught the eye of Jack Ryan showrunners. According to Deadline, Paramount Television President Amy Powell said: "From day one, our casting committee for this show has only had one actor - John Krasinski. ). "We're so excited that he's our Jack Ryan and we're going to have another season with this talented team and we've been blown away by what our entire team has delivered in season one and we can't wait." I want everyone to see it this summer."
Krasinski expressed Powell's excitement in an interview with SFGate. "This may sound contrived, but I think Jack Ryan was always one of those characters that you really thought you could be one day. You couldn't grow up to be Superman or Spider-Man," he told the publication.
Luckily for Krasinski, it seems like he'll be able to play his dream hero role for a little longer, since if the show is renewed before it premieres, it could still have many more seasons left. Jack Ryan may not be Superman, but he's close enough.
