Eddie Redmayne's Hitman Shocker: 'Day of the Jackal' Finale Sets Stage for Season 2

Originally Published 1 year ago — by Hollywood Reporter

The season finale of "Day of the Jackal" delivered a surprising twist by allowing Eddie Redmayne's hitman character to survive, diverging from the original 1973 film where the assassin is killed. This decision was made to sustain the series for a second season, as the show has become a hit on Sky and Peacock. The finale also saw the death of MI6 agent Bianca Pullman, played by Lashana Lynch, setting up new storylines for the next season, including the Jackal's search for his missing family.

Peacock has renewed "Day Of The Jackal" for a second season, despite mixed reviews, due to its strong debut performance in the U.S. and U.K. The series, starring Eddie Redmayne and Lashana Lynch, is a loose adaptation of Frederick Forsyth's novel and has become one of the top streaming series in the U.S. and Sky Atlantic's best debut in two years. It's unclear if Redmayne and Lynch will return for the next season.
