'The Day of the Jackal' Gets Season 2 Renewal at Peacock

As an ardent admirer of gripping thrillers and exceptional acting, I find myself utterly enthralled by the news of the renewal of “The Day of the Jackal” for Season 2! The prospect of more suspenseful chases, intricate disguises, and edge-of-the-seat tension is a delight that few can resist.


Fans of the highly praised thriller series The Day of the Jackal are in for a treat as the show has been unexpectedly renewed for another season! Initially promoted as a limited series, it’s now set to return on Peacock and Sky for Season 2. That means we can look forward to even more intricate disguises, suspenseful killings, and unending shadows in the storyline.

According to The Hollywood Reporter’s announcement, streaming service NBCUniversal and British broadcaster Sky have decided to continue airing “The Day of the Jackal” series. This decision was made after the show received exceptional reception in both the U.S. and the U.K., where it premiered with great success. On Rotten Tomatoes, the series garnered a favorable 84% rating and enthusiastic reviews. In the U.K., “The Day of the Jackal” made history on Sky Atlantic by attracting impressive viewership numbers, while also ranking among the top five shows on Peacock in the U.S.

According to the 1971 novel by Frederick Forsyth, this series is spearheaded by Academy Award winner Eddie Redmayne and star Lashana Lynch, who also appeared in “No Time to Die”. As of now, there’s no news on whether the main duo will reprise their roles or if a new director will take over for Season 2. Here’s the official summary for “The Day of the Jackal”.

A skilled marksman who excels at blending into any environment and is lethally proficient, the Jackal serves as an assassin, executing contracts for a price without hesitation or remorse. After a high-profile attack on a well-known and infamous politician, he’s presented with his most dangerous assignment to date – one that could provide him enough wealth to retire permanently. However, his profession has piqued the interest of Bianca, a relentless British intelligence agent who is an expert in firearms and seems perfectly suited to track him down.

What follows is a thrilling cat-and-mouse chase across Europe, as the Jackal works to carry out his new mission, while being pursued by Bianca. However, as the hunt continues and more casualties are caught in their crossfire, it becomes clear that there may be other forces pulling the strings. As both Bianca and the Jackal’s personal lives clash with their work, they risk everything, pushing themselves to their limits with disastrous consequences.”
