The Day Of The Jackal Debuts This Fall (Official Overview)
An unrivaled and highly elusive lone assassin, the Jackal (Eddie Redmayne), makes his living carrying out hits for the highest fee. But following his latest kill, he meets his match in a tenacious British intelligence officer (Lashana Lynch) who starts to track down the Jackal in a thrilling cat-and-mouse chase across Europe, leaving destruction in its wake.
This is not a role that I would picture Redmayne in, but the trailer and images make this look like it has a good hook to it. Lynch is a favorite too. So, I will give this a fair shot. That they made sure to give this a prime slot during the opening ceremonies of the Olympics only says that they expect some big things from this show. It will debut on November 7th on Peacock.
Written by Ronan Bennett and directed by Brian Kirk, Peacock's The Day of the Jackal is executive-produced by Bennett, Kirk, Redmayne, Gareth Neame & Nigel Marchant (Carnival Films), Sam Hoyle (Sky Studios), and Sue Naegle – with Lynch as a co-executive producer. Frederick Forsyth serves as a consulting producer, with Chris Hall also producing.
