The Jackal of the Day, a contemporary adaptation of Frederick Forsyth’s iconic novel, has won audiences since its December 6 release on Prime Video. Led by Eddie Redmayne and Lashana Lynch, this spy series, which combines action, psychological tension and realism, easily climbed into the platform’s top 10.

The charming thriller was renewed for a second season

And good news for fans: Peacock and Sky – the two original broadcasters – have confirmed Season 2, just a day before the final episode of Season 1 airs at the end of November.

The series tells the story of an elite assassin, nicknamed Jackal (Eddie Redmayne), who is known for his ability to change identities and complete all missions. Before him, Bianca Pullman (Lashana Lynch), a crucial MI6 agent, engages in a psychological and physical duel with him across Europe.

What do we know about the upcoming conspiracy?

While the details of Season 2 remain under wraps, the update suggests a direct continuation of the intrigue. With the surprise finale of the first season, we can guess what direction the series will take.

After killing Bianca, who had been stalking him all over Europe, the Jackal is no less in danger. Not only does he have the Secret Service on his back, but as a bonus these former sponsors have now put a price on his head! Finally, his wife Nuria left with her son.

Knowing the jackal’s personality, he must not leave the debt unpaid. Even if half of the European police are after him. And he will not give up marriage or fatherhood.

In addition to Eddie Redmayne, the series can count on a solid cast, including Ursula Corbero, Charles Dance and Richard Dormer. Fans of the series can already rejoice: the hunt has just begun. But in what sense?
