Jack Ryan (Fourth and final season), Based on the world-famous series of books by renowned author Tom Clancy and starring Krasinski as the titular character, Season 4 opens up most dramatically with our hero in the middle of his most dangerous mission yet.

As Jack heads on his fourth and final adventure this season with a spectacular ensemble cast including Wendell Pierce, Betty Gabriel, Michael Peña, Michael Kelly, Louis Ozawa, and Abbie Cornish, there is a rich, complex layer of intrigue involved as we see the exceptionalism of the United States taken to task.
