Hollywood actor John Krasinski, who is back as the gritty CIA analyst Jack Ryan in Season 3 of Prime Video’s Tom Clancy’s Jack Ryan, recently opened up about the new season and the action sequences he performed for the series.

“This season, in particular, we had the fans in mind because we knew that the time between Seasons 2 and 3 would be so huge. This had to be a season that was worth waiting for. We tried to pay homage to the Tom Clancy books,” said Krasinski.

The action-thriller series is ready to take the audience on a high-stakes ride as Jack Ryan tries to stop another worldwide crisis. The actor also put a spotlight on some of the stunts he performed for this season and the adrenaline rush he got while shooting.

“We were performing an air-water stunt where everyone on the helicopter that day was a Navy SEAL. During the shoot, one of our buddies, Kevin Kent, said, ‘it would be a lot cooler if you did the stunt.’ I said, ‘What would that look like?’ And he said, ‘It’d look like me unbuckling you and throwing you out of this helicopter.’ And he did, right then and there,” Krasinski said.

“Whenever we can, whenever it feels safe (we do the stunts). I think you do get that little kid instinct of, ‘I can do that, we can try that!’ It’s one of those things that can be really exciting but also get you into trouble,” he added.

In this season, Ryan gets falsely implicated while on a mission and is forced to be on the run from his own government.

Tom Clancy’s Jack Ryan is co-produced by Amazon Studios,

Paramount Television Studios, and Skydance Television. Apart from Krasinski, it features series regulars Wendell Pierce and Michael Kelly who reprise their roles as CIA Officer James Greer and former CIA Officer Mike November, respectively. The third season sees the cast additions of Nina Hoss as Czech president Alena Kovac and Betty Gabriel as CIA Rome Station chief Elizabeth Wright.

Tom Clancy’s Jack Ryan Season 3 will be streaming on Prime Video from December 21.
