Amazon has given a 10-episode straight-to-series order to Tom Clancy’s Jack Ryan, starring John Krasinski as the popular CIA hero. The drama, from former Lost duo of co-showrunner Carlton Cuse and writer Graham Roland, Michael Bay’s Platinum Dunes, Skydance Media and Paramount TV, landed at Amazon in April with a series commitment and the intention to go straight-to-series. Jack Ryan further solidified its series chances when it landed Krasinski for the lead. Amazon ordered three scripts — all written by Cuse and Roland, who also developed the story for the pilot. The scripts were recently delivered, paving the way to the series order.

A reinvention with a modern sensibility, Tom Clancy’s Jack Ryan follows Ryan (Krasinski), an up-and-coming CIA analyst 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.

Jack Ryan is co-produced by Paramount TV and Skydance TV and executive produced by Cuse, Roland, who a former U.S. Marine, Platinum Dunes’ Michael Bay, Brad Fuller, and Andrew Form, as well as Skydance’s David Ellison, Dana Goldberg and Marcy Ross, along with the movie franchise’s producer Mace Neufeld and Lindsey Springer of Carlton Cuse Prods. The series, projected to shoot in the U.S., Europe and Africa, reunites Krasinski with Bay who recently directed him in the 13 Hours feature.
