With the Prime Video series “Jack Ryan,” actor and producer John Krasinski set about creating a roller coaster thriller steeped in the world of Tom Clancy, with each season roughly pulling from one of Clancy’s classic Jack Ryan novels. But Krasinski wasn’t prepared for the storyline chosen for “Jack Ryan” Season 3 – which chronicles an aggressive Russian push on Ukraine – to become a reality after the season was already in the can.
“We wrapped the show before the conflict ever happened, I think us now seeing even hints or small mirroring of our show in real life is the greatest heartbreak to all of us,” Krasinski told TheWrap in a recent interview.
