Jack Ryan is best known as the protagonist of Tom Clancy's political action-thriller novels, making his first appearance in the 1984 novel The Hunt for Red October. The character has enjoyed a long history in media going back the last several decades, with his television debut in the popular series Tom Clancy's Jack Ryan in 2018, starring John Krasinski as the iconic hero. Jack Ryan has become one of Prime Video's top three most-watched series around the globe.

Additionally, Paramount believed a potential television series adaptation would conflict with their film iteration. The legal dispute effectively killed the planned Patriot Games television series for ABC.
