Amazon greenlights “Jack Ryan” series starring John Krasinski August 17, 2016 - 12:35 AMT PanARMENIAN.Net - Amazon has officially greenlighted the TV adaptation of Tom Clansy's "Jack Ryan" novel. The network has picked it up to series and ordered 10 episodes. Coming from "Lost" co-showrunner Carlton Cuse and writer Graham Rolan, the show is led by "The Office" alum John Krasinski as the titular CIA hero, AceShowbiz said. Scripted by Carlton Cuse ("Bates Motel", "The Strain") and Graham Roland ("Almost Human"), it will follow Ryan as he uncovers a pattern in terrorist communication that launches him into the center of a dangerous gambit with a new breed of terrorism that threatens destruction on a global scale. "We're excited to add the Jack Ryan global franchise to our robust originals pipeline," Amazon Studios head Roy Price said. "Our customers will enjoy a compelling adaptation of the action-packed spy thriller book series, further raising the bar for the quality level of storytelling that has made Prime Video a leading destination for content." The role of Jack Ryan was played by Alec Baldwin, Harrison Ford and Ben Affleck in previous adaptations. Chris Pine played the spy agent in the latest one "Jack Ryan: Shadow Recruit" in 2014.
