A week later, after a bidding war among multiple television networks, it was announced on September 29, 2015 that streaming service Amazon had picked up the rights to the series. After going through the pilot stage ( where Amazon ordered three scripts from the series that were written by Cuse and Roland ), Jack Ryan was greenlit by the streaming service on August 16, 2016, with a 10 - episode straight - to - series order available exclusively on Amazon Video. In January 2017, it was announced that Morten Tyldum will direct the pilot and Daniel Sackheim will direct multiple episodes and produce the series.

The series then shot in June 2017 in Paris and Montreuil. Release Marketing Over September 2017, a series of promotional teasers were uploaded across the TV series 's official social media accounts, culminating with the final teaser showing first footage of John Krasinski as Jack Ryan which was released on October 3, 2017. Jack Ryan made its debut at the New York Comic Con on October 7, 2017, coinciding with the release of a new teaser trailer. Krasinski, Cornish and creators Cuse and Roland attended the NYCC panel, where they also debuted the first seven minutes of the pilot episode. On January 30, 2018, Amazon released online the Super Bowl trailer for Jack Ryan, five days before the football event and marking the first time that Prime Video has released a Super Bowl ad for one of its original shows. In a statement, Amazon Studios ' head of marketing Mike Benson said, `` Given the colossal scope and scale of the series coupled with the popularity of Tom Clancy 's novels, we knew Tom Clancy 's Jack Ryan would be a natural fit for Prime Video 's first Super Bowl ad.
