eddie redmayne as the jackal sits with a hat and grayish jacket on at an outdoor cafe
The Big Picture Eddie Redmayne had better watch his back because Lashana Lynch has had enough of his BS in the debut trailer for the upcoming series, The Day of the Jackal. Set to arrive on Peacock in the U.S. and Sky in the UK on November 7, the high-octane thriller follows a cat and mouse game between a highly-skilled assassin and an intelligence officer which you can see play out in the first look teaser as well as some fresh images.
Foreshadowing the chaos, death, and destruction that’s to come, our first look at The Day of the Jackal sees Redmayne’s killer, known only as the Jackal, preparing to hit his next target while Lynch’s Bianca preps her team for the take-down. A man of many faces, the Jackal is constantly changing his appearance thanks to prosthetics, contacts, and wigs, but Bianca isn’t threatened by the man with the ever-changing face because she’s confident that she’ll be able to crack the case.
Along with Redmayne and Lynch, Peacock’s makeover of Forsyth’s novel will also include a starring performance from Úrsula Corberó with an ensemble that includes Charles Dance , Chukwudi Iwuji , Richard Dormer , Khalid Abdalla , Jonjo O’Neill , Lia Williams , Eleanor Matsuura , Florisa Kamara , Nick Blood , and Sule Rimi .
Who’s Behind ‘The Day of the Jackal’? Close Adapting the book into series form is Ronan Bennett, who audiences will recognize from his work as the showrunner, writer, and executive producer behind the British crime drama Top Boy. Bennett also serves The Day of the Jackal as an executive producer alongside Redmayne and Brian Kirk, the latter of whom also directs the series.
