The third season of John Krasinski’s “Jack Ryan” is back on Amazon Prime Video with an old narrative. We first meet Ryan when he discovers a clandestine Russian plot to attack nearby countries and revive the Soviet empire. Ryan is currently based in Rome. The episodes were written three years before Russia invaded Ukraine, and production was completed before the invasion. The pandemic forced everyone to shut down, delaying the production of “Jack Ryan”. Krasinski shifted his attention to producing Some Good News, a weekly home-produced newscast that featured positive tales in the midst of a gloomy period. He disregarded his diet and exercise routine while he was under quarantine like many other people do.
