'Jack Ryan' Season 4 Interview: Michael Peña & Louis Ozawa on Joining the Final Season
The fourth and final season of Tom Clancy’s Jack Ryan is raising the bar on its swansong with the addition of two very important characters entering the “Ryanverse.” As the Carlton Cuse and Graham Roland espionage thriller series starring John Krasinski in the titular role comes to a close with just six episodes left, Prime Video’s flagship series returns to its full theatrical form for a strong finish thanks to its two newest stars, Michael Peña and Louis Ozawa. In an exclusive interview with Collider, the actors talk about the pressures of fitting into a world already set up and their greatest stunts on the pulse-pounding, action-adventure that continues to keep fans at the edge of their seats.
While Season 4 picks up on the repercussions of Jack’s decisions aboard the USS Roosevelt last season blended with a mysterious U.S. black ops mission that finds the Nigerian president dead, it seems to the United States government that the CIA is operating on its own terms. But as Jack further investigates with the help of his team including Greer (Wendell Pierce), Mike (Michael Kelly), and CIA Director, Wright (Betty Gabriel), he discovers the corruption runs well beyond the CIA. Recognizing how there is more than meets the eye transpiring, including the convergence of a drug cartel with a terrorist organization, Jack meets Peña’s Domingo Chavez, one of the “deadliest operators” ever employed by the CIA. As the two begin relying on each other, they meet Ozawa’s Chao Fah, an ambitious Southeast Asian businessman looking for a better life for his wife and child at any cost.
