'Jack Ryan': Phil Abraham to direct the first two episodes of Season 1

The 'Daredevil' has boarded the flight to set Jack Ryan on his mission to save the world from terrorist encounters.
PUBLISHED AUG 14, 2018

Phil Abraham is on board as the executive producer of Amazon's straight to series adaptation of Tom Clancy's 'Jack Ryan'; he will also be directing the first two episodes of the show, reported Deadline. Abraham, best known for his work in the pilots for 'Mad Men,' Netflix's 'Daredevil' and National Geographic's 'The Long Road Home,' is next in line after directors like John McTiernan ('The Hunt for Red October') and Phillip Noyce ('Patriot Games') to put a new face on the baby-faced CIA agent/analyst, Jack Ryan. 

The plotline of the series, coming from showrunners Carlton Cuse ('Lost') and Graham Roland ('Fringe'), revolves around the titular character, who is pulled out of his job as an analyst behind the desk and is taken to the field where his intellect is put through some actual tests. As he discovers a string of fraud bank transfers, his quest to solve the puzzle takes him on a journey across Europe and the Middle East. Ryan also encounters a few terrorist threats who claim to attack the US. The show will reinvent the Tom Clancy hero with a modern sensibility.
