Tom Clancy’s Jack Ryan – Season three

In the new season of the action-thriller series, Jack Ryan (John Krasinski) is working as a CIA case officer in Rome, when he is tipped off that the Sokol Project – a secret plan to restore the Soviet Empire – is being resurrected more than 50 years after it was thought to have been shut down. Jack embarks on a mission to confirm the intelligence, but things quickly go awry, and he is wrongly implicated in a larger conspiracy.

Accused of treason, and with a Red Notice out for his arrest, Jack is forced to run from his own government if he has any hope of uncovering the rogue faction before it’s too late. Crisscrossing Europe as he is hunted by former allies and new enemies alike, Jack races against the clock to stop the cascade of destabilising conflicts from leading to global catastrophe.
