John Krasinski Returns in Prime Video’s Jack Ryan: Ghost War

Early reviews say the feature leans into bigger, location-shot action at the expense of the series' deeper character work and leaves the franchise open for more entries.

Overview

  • The film premiered on Prime Video on Wednesday, May 20, 2026, as a streaming-first continuation of the Krasinski-led Jack Ryan story.
  • John Krasinski returns as Jack Ryan and is credited as a co-writer and producer, with Wendell Pierce and Michael Kelly back and Sienna Miller and Max Beesley joining the cast.
  • Producers and the director emphasized larger-scale, on-location action filmed in London and Dubai and hired Bond-era stunt coordinator Lee Morrison to stage practical set pieces.
  • Critics’ early response skews mixed to negative with Rotten Tomatoes scores in the high 30s to around 40 percent and frequent complaints that the 105-minute runtime compresses plotting and character development.
  • The film deliberately ends in a way that positions the series for further sequels, and creators say future projects will depend on audience response to this release.
