The Day of the Jackal (2024) season 1 finale left viewers with unanswered questions, particularly regarding the origins of the Jackal's codename. This article explores the ambiguous nature of the codename and its potential meanings, drawing insights from the series and the original book.
The Day of the Jackal (2024) season 1 has wrapped, and while the finale answered many questions, one important mystery remains about the Jackal's codename. The Day of the Jackal is an updated remake of the 1973 film and the novel that inspired it. However, there are notable changes to the story, including a major change in setting from both earlier versions.
Despite this, one thing that persists is a variety of names and aliases employed by the titular character, and the assassin whose codename is the Jackal. In the series, this Jackal is played by Eddie Redmayne, and despite going by a dozen or so different identities, the Jackal appears to be the codename that sticks, and becomes the key identifier for groups like MI6 and potential customers. However, the story behind this codename is not clearly shown in the series. In the show, Zina, a woman who seeks to hire the Jackal on behalf of a group of billionaires, informs him that the target will be codenamed Rodin. Meanwhile, the assassin is asked what his codename should be. In response, he smiles, and says,'Jackal.' As the series progresses, the name Jackal can be seen printed on an army truck which he rode on during his time in the British Army, but it was not a nickname for him individually. As a result, the codenames origins are more ambiguous in The Day of the Jackal series, but there is further insight provided in the book. The book clarifies that the name Jackal has multiple layers of meaning. For one, it refers to hunting, with a jackal referring to a small predatory animal which is native to Asia and Africa
