Find out more about Morten Tyldum directing Jack Ryan after the jump.
As for who will be at the helm of the rest of the season, the only other name attached to direct episodes so far is Dan Sackheim, who has done an outstanding job with episodes of the sorely underrated series The Americans at FX. Sackheim will be directing multiple episodes in addition to producing the series.
While I think Tyldum is a fantastic director, with an Oscar nomination to prove it, but his work on the action adventure side of Passengers left something to be desired. Maybe that’s just a result of the script not delivering more thrilling setpieces, but either way, hopefully he can bring the right kind excitement and style to Tom Clancy’s Jack Ryan. Since Jack Ryan: Shadow Recruit didn’t achieve that, the bar is relatively low for the new Jack Ryan to up the ante, so that might help.
As of now we don’t know much about Tom Clancy’s Jack Ryan in the story department, but ISIS will be at the center of the first season as we follow Jack Ryan as an up-and-coming CIA analyst thrust into a dangerous field assignment for the first time. Ryan uncovers a pattern in terrorist communication that launches him into the center of a dangerous gambit with a new breed of terrorism that threatens destruction on a global scale.
