Long live the Ryanverse! John Krasinski and his version of Jack Ryan will get a third tour of duty on Amazon, which gave an advance order for Jack Ryan Season 3 back in February.
Paul Scheuring, best known as the creator of Fox’s Prison Break, will step in as the new showrunner for Jack Ryan, starting with the still-developing Season 3. The move finalizes a process that saw the exit of Carlton Cuse (Lost, Bates Motel), who, after initially developing the Tom Clancy revival property for television with co-showrunner Graham Roland, stepped back from his day-to-day showrunner duties back in March, as Deadline reported.
Cuse was initially set to be replaced by All the Money in the World scribe David Scarpa, who did not stay long in the position. Consequently, Cuse’s showrunner tenure will last be reflected with Season 2 of the series, which premieres in November. However, Cuse will remain onboard the creative roster as an executive producer.
Besides the aforementioned crime drama, Prison Break, which initially ran from 2005 to 2008, eventually getting a 2017 revival season (with another season potentially lined up), new showrunner Paul Scheuring brings television experience from Discovery Channel’s 2014 Richard Madden-headlined historically-based frozen claim-jumper miniseries, Klondike (which co-starred Jack Ryan‘s Abbie Cornish,) and ABC’s single-season 2013 thriller series, Zero Hour. Amongst his work in the medium of film, he co-wrote the 2018 Gerard Butler-headlined crime drama, Den of Thieves, and the 2003 Vin Diesel actioner, A Man Apart.
