If you’ve finished your binge-watching of “Jack Ryan” Season 3, rest assured knowing that “Jack Ryan” Season 4 won’t be far behind. While the delay between previous seasons was significant, star and producer John Krasinski says the final two seasons of the Prime Video series were shot back-to-back so fans wouldn’t have to wait.
“We have already finished [Season 4]we actually shot three and four back-to-back,” Krasinski told TheWrap during a recent interview. “So that was the whole idea, knowing that the fan would go so long between two and three , we decided to do three and four back-to-back so that they don’t have to wait so long again.”
Indeed, season 2 comes exactly a year after the Tom Clancy series premiered on Amazon Prime Video, while fans had to wait three years for a third season due to the pandemic. Amazon renewed the series at the start of the fourth and final season, so Krasinski and company took advantage of the situation and bowed out for the long haul.
“What an incredible challenge we all had [filming for] What was over a year and a half. We had a little break in between,” he said. “But we were essentially away from our families for over a year and a half. And not only from New York to LA, we’ve been to Budapest and Slovakia, and Prague and wherever Canary Islands. It’s a blessing to do this, but it’s hard nonetheless.”
As for what fans can expect in “Jack Ryan” season 4, which will be Krasinski’s final go-around with the franchise, he said it serves as a celebration for the show’s ensemble cast.
“This is the last season of the show, I think it’s really a celebration of this team, it’s a celebration of trust, and if we can’t trust each other nothing is going to happen. So it really was – Season 4 probably has the most ensemble cast of all seasons, and how we all work together. That’s what I’m really looking forward to.
Krasinski nodded to his co-stars who were conducting interviews with him, Wendell Pierce who plays James Greer and Michael Kelly who plays Mike November.
“Obviously it’s bittersweet being the last season, but it was fantastic to do it with these guys.”
Jack Ryan Season 3 is now streaming on Prime Video.
