Jack Ryan – Season 5 (2025) – Intelligence Has a Breaking Point.

The system he trusted is the enemy he must face

Jack Ryan: Season 5 (2025) marks the high-stakes return of the globe-trotting CIA analyst turned frontline operative, in what may be his most personal and politically explosive mission yet. Following the events of Season 4, Jack (John Krasinski) has stepped away from the agency—or so he thought. But in the world of espionage, retirement is just another cover.

When a devastating cyberattack paralyzes the U.S. power grid and plunges entire cities into chaos, all evidence points to an international coalition of hackers calling themselves "Black Atlas." But the deeper Jack digs, the more disturbing the truth becomes: this isn’t just terrorism—it’s treason. Someone inside the intelligence community is orchestrating it all.

Reluctantly pulled back in by Elizabeth Wright, now CIA Director, Jack assembles an off-book team—including Mike November, James Greer, and Zara Rahmani, a brilliant young cryptanalyst with ties to the dark web. Their mission: trace the signal, expose the mole, and prevent the next phase of the attack—a coordinated global blackout designed to collapse Western infrastructure from within.

From a rogue server farm in Estonia to backroom meetings in Geneva, to the jungles of South America where cartels have gone digital, Season 5 blends political intrigue, cyber warfare, and boots-on-the-ground action. But as Jack closes in on the mastermind, he’s faced with a terrible revelation: the person behind it all knows him—and trained him.

Fast-paced, sharp, and emotionally charged, Jack Ryan: Season 5 challenges not just what Jack is willing to sacrifice for his country—but whether the country he’s fighting for still exists in the same way he believes.
