Jack embarks on a mission to confirm the intelligence, but things quickly go awry and he is wrongly implicated in a larger conspiracy. Accused of treason, with a Red Notice out for his arrest, Jack is forced to run from his own government if he has any hope of uncovering the rogue faction before it’s too late.

Jack Ryan season 3 cast
John Krasinski stars in Jack Ryan as the eponymous spy. Tom Clancy's most recognizable character, Ryan is kind of an American James Bond in the sense that he has been played by multiple actors throughout the years. In addition to Krasinski, Alec Baldwin, Harrison Ford, Ben Affleck and Chris Pine have also played Ryan.
Krasinski is of course best known for his role as Jim in The Office, but on the big screen he starred and directed in A Quiet Place while also showing his action chops in 13 Hours and, more recently, Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness.
Other returning actors for Jack Ryan season 3 include Wendell Pierce (The Wire, Suits) as CIA Officer James Greer and Michael Kelly (House of Cards, Man of Steel) as former CIA Officer Mike November.
New to the cast for Jack Ryan season 3 are Nina Hoss (TÁR, Homeland) as Czech President Alena Kovac and Betty Gabriel (Get Out, Defending Jacob) as CIA Rome Station Chief Elizabeth Wright.
