Amazon's Jack Ryan gets a new release date - almost 3 years after its last season

Tom Clancy's Jack Ryan is back after a three-year-long hiatus.

Eight new episodes are set to hit Amazon Prime Video on Wednesday, December 21 – with star Jon Krasinski in tow. Per Prime Video, season 3 finds Jack "on the run and in a race against time," according to the official logline. "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."

The political action thriller took a break following the release of season 2 back in October of 2019. The season 3 cast also includes Wendell Pierce (Suits, The Wire) and Michael Kelly (House of Cards) and introduces Nina Hoss (Homeland) and Betty Gabriel (Clickbait, Defending Jacob).
