We're nearing the end of Prime Video thriller Jack Ryan, which has reinvented the iconic Tom Clancy character for a new generation of fans.

John Krasinski (A Quiet Place) is the latest actor to play the title role – previously portrayed by Alec Baldwin, Harrison Ford, Ben Affleck and Chris Pine – and the first to do so on a television series.

He's bowing out after four successful seasons on the streaming platform, with this final run bringing the story full circle with the return of Abbie Cornish's Cathy Mueller.

Naturally, there has also been talk of potential spin-offs, but nothing has been confirmed at this time.

With just two episodes left of the Prime Video hit, fans are likely wondering when they can tune into the finale. Read on for everything you need to know about the release schedule for Jack Ryan season 4.

Thankfully, viewers only have a week to wait until episodes 5 and 6 of Jack Ryan season 4, with both due to arrive on Prime Video on Friday 14th July 2023.

Those climactic two episodes will bring an end to the spy thriller.

Jack Ryan season 4 will differ from previous seasons of the hit spy series, in that it will not be made up of eight episodes as all the others were.

In fact, this season is set to be two episodes shorter, and will therefore be made up of just six episodes.

The reduced episode count could in part be due to the decision to shoot seasons 3 and 4 back-to-back, as was revealed by Krasinski back in December.

The star told The Wrap: "We already finished [season 4], we actually shot three and four back-to-back. So that was the whole idea, knowing that the fans would go so long in between two and three, we decided to do three and four back-to-back so that they wouldn’t have to wait that long again."
