Peña also mentioned the storytelling of Jack Ryan season four and stated:

"I watched the first episode and I had to turn it off. Even before the ending. Even though I shot it. Because I wanted to save it to watch it with my family. So, it's a lot of that emotional thrill ride and always guessing who's responsible for what. And then being surprised. It's always a level of surprise when it comes to the storytelling,"

Additionally, the actor expressed his joy and said,

"I loved season 1. I saw season 2 right before we were filming. So, a lot of the same things which, in my opinion, are great writing, great characters, cliffhangers. What I like about the first two seasons is the bingability of it. For some reason, they just got it down."
