‘Jack Ryan’ season 3 cast, plot: James Greer’s return is seemingly confirmed by the show’s Instagram page

James Greer (Wendell Pierce) remained one of the main players in season 2 and joined the titular protagonist, played by John Krasinski, in a much riskier mission in South America. However, the season 2 finale showed Greer second-guessing his future as a federal agent, making fans worry about his return in “Jack Ryan” season 3.

‘Jack Ryan’ season 3 cast: Is James Greer’s return confirmed?

Greer is not a typical ranking federal officer, mainly because he hates staying in the office. He makes a conscious decision to join Jack in the field, no matter how critical a mission seems. But he was visibly shaken by the situations he endured in season 2 while also nursing serious health conditions.

Despite a successful mission, James appeared physically and emotionally drained in his conversation with Jack in the finale. He hinted at moving on to a new endeavor, and it solicited doubts on his return for “Jack Ryan” season 3.

However, when a fan asked about the next season on the show’s official Instagram, the page seemingly confirmed Greer will still be a part of it. “Greer's preparing the assignment now. Be on the lookout for more intel,” the social media page responded about “Jack Ryan” season 3.

It is not strange for fans to rely on official social media accounts for updates on their favorite shows. The choice of words in this particular online interaction is obviously a play on Greer’s role, but it could still be seen as a welcome hint at the return of a fan-favorite character.

‘Jack Ryan’ season 3 plot: Greer’s role reduced to administrative work?

Greer's appearance in “Jack Ryan” season 3 may now be more likely, but what’s next for him is still uncertain. As mentioned, the character stated that on-the-field work might no longer be for him, given his deteriorating health.

The plot of “Jack Ryan” season 3 has not been reported yet, but the next mission could still be realized with Greer’s help. Hopefully, his future will not conflict with his natural dislike of being tied to desk duty while not completely disregarding the character’s limitations established in season 2. Amazon Prime Video has yet to announce the release date of season 3.
