Even if you're not in it for the big game, the Super Bowl offers plenty more to interest the casual viewer, namely, a series a impressive commercials as well as trailers for the biggest TV series and movies. Amazon Prime will be getting in on that Super Bowl action with a trailer for its upcoming Jack Ryan series starring John Krasinski, which you're already watching above. Centered around the titular hero, the series finds the up-and-coming CIA analyst thrust into a dangerous field assignment for the first time. Ryan soon 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.
"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," said Mike Benson, Head of Marketing for Amazon Studios. "The global nature of the audience provides us with a unique opportunity to give viewers a look at this thrilling new series coming to Prime." The one-hour eight-episode series also stars Wendell Pierce and Abbie Cornish and will premiere on August 31, 2018.
