Following four series that has accounted for 1.15 billion minutes of viewing, John Krasinski and Amazon MGM Studios aren’t ready to close the file marked Jack Ryan just yet, with the news that a new feature film is in development.
According to Deadline the movie will extend the universe that seemingly came to end with the fourth and final season of the critically-acclaimed show, and will bring with it Wendell Pierce and Michael Kelly, who are in negotiations to reprise their roles.
Andrew Bernstein, who directed episodes from season 2 of the series, will helm the feature film, which has been written by Aaron Rabin, who also penned the final run of Jack Ryan episodes.
Based on Tom Clancy’s iconic Jack Ryan character, the Amazon MGM Studios, Paramount Television, and Skydance series became one of Prime Video’s top-three most-watched TV-series globally.
Ryan was first introduced in Clancy’s 1984 novel The Hunt for Red October, which was adapted for the big-screen in 1990, with Alec Baldwin embodying the CIA agent. Since then he has been played by Harrison Ford (Patriot Games and Clear and Present Danger), Ben Affleck (The Sum of All Fears), and Chris Pine (Jack Ryan: Shadow Recruit), before A Quiet Place writer/director John Krasinski was cast in the role back in 2016.
