Back in my day, TV shows had the decency to return from hiatus every September, like clockwork. In the streaming arena, that clock is broken. Shows return whenever they feel like it. Two half-length seasons six weeks apart? A full year between seasons, with all episodes dropping on the same day? Sure, why not. Take Prime Video’s John Krasinski’s Tom Clancy’s Jack Ryan, which I just googled a few weeks ago. “Jack Ryan canceled?” I wondered. Nope, it just took three years off between seasons two and three.
Granted, there was a pandemic in there, but that’s still a long time to wait for more adventures of the fifth incarnation of the enduring super spy. But Krasinski is a big star, and Prime Video’s marquee hits are few and far between, so I suppose they were willing to wait for him to stop making blockbuster horror films and hanging out with Emily Blunt to make another eight episodes, all of which will drop on the streamer on Dec. 21.
Here’s everything else coming to Prime Video (and ad-supported Amazon Freevee) in December 2022.
