Amazon Prime Video sure does love John Krasinski. Not only is he the star of the “Jack Ryan” TV series, it was just announced that he’s returning as that character for a feature film. But just because they got him for a “Jack Ryan” film, that doesn’t mean Prime Video is happy. No, sir. The studio has also signed him on for “Silent River.”

According to Variety, John Krasinski and Matthew Rhys have signed on to star in the upcoming thriller series, “Silent River.” The official synopsis reads: “Through the lens of two men, whose lives are far more connected than they realize, ‘Silent River’ explores the cracks of small-town America in the wake of discovering a serial killer among them.”
In addition to starring in the series, Krasinski is also executive producing as well as directing the pilot and additional episodes. Rhys is also executive producing.
“We are thrilled to continue our work with John Krasinski, Allyson Seeger, and Sunday Night on this gripping series, which delves into the mysteries and secrets of small-town America,“ said Vernon Sanders, head of television for Amazon MGM Studios. “With John and Matthew Rhys attached to star in this wonderful story from Aaron Rabin, our global customers will be on the edge of their seats throughout this thought-provoking, psychological thriller.”
Obviously, Krasinski is known for more than just “Jack Ryan.” As an actor, he’s appeared in projects such as “A Quiet Place,” “Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness,” and “IF.” As a filmmaker, Krasinski has directed the first two “A Quiet Place” films, as well as the aforementioned “IF.” Interestingly, he didn’t direct any episodes of “Jack Ryan.”
Rhys, on the other hand, is probably best known for his work on the TV show, “The Americans.” He also starred in the series, “Perry Mason.” On the film side of things, he’s shown up in projects such as “A Beautiful Day in the Neighborhood,” “Cocaine Bear,” and “Saturday Night.”
It’s unclear when production on “Silent River” will begin.
