'Jack Ryan' Season 4 Interview: John Krasinski, Wendell Pierce & Michael Kelly
The highly anticipated fourth and final season of Tom Clancy’s Jack Ryan might be coming to a close this Friday, but it’s a “bittersweet thing” for the show’s lead star and executive producer, John Krasinski. In an exclusive interview with Collider for the Prime Video flagship series from Carlton Cuse and Graham Roland, the political, spy thriller, which returns to its full theatrical form for a strong finish, finds Krasinski’s eponymous character at a crossroads. When chatting about Jack’s turn this season with his co-stars, Wendell Pierce and Michael Kelly, the three got candid about the end, while speaking about their characters’ greatest challenges in these final six episodes.
With the first two episodes now streaming on Prime Video, Jack heads on his most dangerous mission yet as the former U.S. marine turned intelligence officer is tasked with unearthing internal corruption with enemies on both foreign and domestic levels. Through his investigation that leads him to meet one of the CIA’s deadliest operatives in the Clancy original character of Domingo Chavez (Michael Peña), Jack discovers far-worse realities coming to light. With the help of Greer (Pierce), Mike (Kelly) and the guidance of CIA director, Wright (Betty Gabriel), the dangers that threaten their country are much closer to home than any of them could have imagined. It’s an arc Krasinski tells Collider in our exclusive Q&A that leaves his character with a “sense of betrayal” this season while his co-stars reveal their biggest character challenges, including Pierce’s more kaleidoscopic glimpse into Greer through one of the season’s more permeating themes.
