Homecoming Starring Julia Roberts

Amazon Studios used their panel at the 2018 San Diego Comic Con to announce the premiere dates for Homecoming (November 2) and Lore season two (October 19). The panel also revealed Oscar winner Frances McDormand will provide the voice of God in Neil Gaiman’s Good Omens. Not to be outdone, Jack Ryan also shared a major casting announcement, confirming Noomi Rapace is coming on board the second season of the action series starring John Krasinski.

The panel also debuted new trailers for Homecoming and for Lore‘s second season, as well as behind the scenes videos from Good Omens and The Tick. The cast of The Expanse, recently picked up by Amazon Studios after being canceled by Syfy, thanked fans for their support in a special video that premiered at Comic Con.

For those who weren’t lucky enough to be in San Diego for the annual sold-out pop culture convention, Amazon brought the videos online for everyone to check out.

Homecoming:

Homecoming is a mind-bending psychological thriller starring Julia Roberts and directed by Sam Esmail (creator of Mr. Robot). Heidi Bergman (Roberts) is a caseworker at the Homecoming Transitional Support Center, a Geist Group facility helping soldiers transition back to civilian life. Walter Cruz (Stephan James) is one of these soldiers, eager to begin the next phase of his life. Overseeing Heidi and the facility is Colin Belfast (Bobby Cannavale), an ambitious company man whose manic demands point to questionable motives.

Four years later, Heidi has started a new life, living with her mother (Sissy Spacek) and working as a small-town waitress, when a Department of Defense auditor (Shea Whigham) comes to her with questions about why she left the Homecoming facility. Heidi begins to realize that there’s a whole other story behind the story she’s been telling herself.

Tom Clancy’s Jack Ryan:

Noomi Rapace will play Harriet “Harry” Baumann, a highly capable, sharply intelligent and intoxicatingly charming BND agent (Germany’s Secret Intelligence) who crosses paths with Jack Ryan in South America in season two.

Amazon will debut Tom Clancy’s Jack Ryan, co-produced by Paramount Television and Skydance Television, August 31st on Amazon Prime Video. The series is a reinvention with a modern sensibility of the unexpected Tom Clancy hero. It centers on Jack Ryan; an up-and-coming CIA analyst thrust into a dangerous field assignment for the first time.

The series follows the titular character as he uncovers a pattern in terrorist communication that launches him into the center of a dangerous gambit with a new breed of terrorism that threatens destruction on a global scale. The one-hour, eight-episode dramatic series stars John Krasinski as Jack Ryan, as well as Wendell Pierce as James Greer and Abbie Cornish as Cathy Mueller.
