No release date has yet been set for the as-yet-untitled Jack Ryan movie, but that hasn't stopped fans from being desperately excited. Three years since wrapping up his series run as Tom Clancy's titular CIA analyst, John Krasinski is ready to return to a maelstrom of geopolitical tension in a feature-length continuation of the series, saying in an interview with Collider, "We were so excited to do a movie. As much as the longform storytelling was a whole different ballgame to play in, it's really fun to reduce it down and condense the timeline and therefore the tension."

Ahead of more news of the upcoming Jack Ryan movie, the series has once again jumped back into the Prime Video streaming charts in the U.S. Co-created by Carlton Cuse and Graham Roland, Tom Clancy's Jack Ryan ran for four very successful seasons, earning many millions of viewers and plenty of critical acclaim. The series earned three Primetime Emmy nominations, enough for one in every ten episodes, as well as a Critics' Choice Awards nod for Dina Shihabi's supporting role. On review aggregator Rotten Tomatoes, Jack Ryan boasts a strong 80% critics' score, although this falls short of the show's Prime Video dad series successor, Reacher (96%). A synopsis for Tom Clancy's Jack Ryan reads:

"Author Tom Clancy introduced the character of Jack Ryan in a series of books before Ryan headed to the big screen in several films. Now the former U.S. Marine is featured in an episodic series for the first time, with John Krasinski portraying Ryan in this Amazon original thriller that centers on Ryan as an up-and-coming CIA analyst. He is thrust into a dangerous field assignment for the first time and uncovers a pattern in terrorist communication. That launches him into the middle of a dangerous gambit with a new breed of terrorism that threatens destruction on a global scale."

Tom Clancy's Jack Ryan is the seventh most-streamed series on Prime Video at the time of writing, so what else is in the top ten? In tenth place is the Canadian comedy series Wild Cards, with The Summer I Turned Pretty at #9, and The Chosen Adventures at #8. Of course, Jack Ryan is at #7, with two MrBeast shows (Extreme Survival! and Insane Competitions!) at #6 and #5. House of David is at #4, with Beast Games at #3, The Night Manager at #2, and the acclaimed Fallout continuing to top the charts.
