Prison Break creator Paul Scheuring has joined Amazon’s thriller drama series Tom Clancy’s Jack Ryan as executive producer and new showrunner for Season 3. He started work this week on the globe-trotting show, which has not started production on the new season yet. Season 2 premieres on Amazon on Nov. 1.

For the first two seasons, the John Krasinski starrer was run by Carlton Cuse, who had been the main creative force behind reviving Paramount’s Jack Ryan franchise as a TV series. He stepped back from day-to-day showrunner duties in March. Cuse was succeeded by David Scarpa who did a brief stint as showrunner before recently departing. Scheuring eventually took the reins of the series, starring and executive produced by Krasinski who has a lot of say in decision-making on the show.
