"House of Cards" star Michael Kelly has been cast in the second season of "Tom Clancys Jack Ryan" as a series regular.
"Tom Clancy's Jack Ryan", which hails from the "Lost" duo of co-showrunner Carlton Cuse and writer Graham Roland, Platinum Dunes, Skydance Media and Paramount TV, is a reinvention with a modern sensibility of the famed and lauded Tom Clancy hero, starring John Krasinski and Abbie Cornish.
It centres on Jack Ryan (Krasinski), an up-and-coming CIA analyst thrust into a dangerous field assignment for the first time. He uncovers a pattern in terrorist communications that launches him into the centre of a dangerous gambit with a new breed of terrorism that threatens destruction on a global scale.
Kelly will play Mike November, a smart, seasoned career field officer in the CIA who works with both Jack Ryan and Jim Greer across the new season.
The first season of "Tom Clancy's Jack Ryan" will premiere on August 31 on Amazon Prime Video. And Season 2 will debut in 2019.
