Amazon Prime Video announced its official lineup today for the upcoming 2018 San Diego Comic-Con International. Amazon will be holding two panels featuring the cast and crew from some of its hit shows, and there will also be a special fan experience for Tom Clancy’s Jack Ryan.

The fan experience fo Jack Ryan will be held west of the convention center. The experience will start at the corner of MLK and 1st and extend to the back adjacent parking lot. The area will be converted into an immersive experience that will put attendees into the heart of the Middle East.

Visitors will then be thrust into a dangerous field assignment that turns them into surprising heroes. Attendees will then use special training to help Jack Ryan in Dark Ops, a groundbreaking escape room that recreates the pilot episode of the show. The experience will have a Middle Eastern bazaar, which has assignments to take on. Attendees can also watch a live leaderboard and pick up some Jack Ryan swag.

Amazon Studios’ Mike Benson stated on the news: “We’re thrilled to bring such a diverse group of creators to SDCC and give fans an exclusive sneak peek at what’s to come for these highly-anticipated shows. Our activation for Tom Clancy’s Jack Ryan is our most ambitious to date and will be one of the must-see events of Comic-Con.”
