Prime Video has announced the upcoming release of the film "Jack Ryan: Ghost War," scheduled to debut on May 20, 2026. The project continues the on-screen saga centered on the character Jack Ryan and expands the franchise’s presence on the streaming service.
"Ghost War" is presented as a continuation of the "Jack Ryan" story, which originated in the bestselling thrillers of American author Tom Clancy. The narrative remains focused on CIA analyst Jack Ryan, who uncovers a pattern of suspicious bank transfers. Determined to get to the bottom of the scheme, Ryan leaves his desk-based duties and launches his own investigation.
That investigation sends the protagonist beyond Washington, drawing him into operations that span multiple countries and increasingly dangerous confrontations. The premise follows the established formula of the franchise: intelligence work that escalates from financial clues to high-stakes field missions.
The television series "Jack Ryan" first premiered in 2018 and ran for three seasons. It received solid audience ratings, achieving an 8 out of 10 score from users on IMDb and a 7.6 out of 10 rating on Kinopoisk.
The role of Jack Ryan in the series was portrayed by John Krasinski, known for his work on the sitcom "The Office" and the horror film "A Quiet Place." His performance anchored the contemporary adaptation of Clancy’s material and helped establish the franchise’s modern television incarnation.
