The hunt continues. Following the acclaimed first season of The Day of the Jackal, the modern reimagining of Frederick Forsyth’s legendary thriller, Season 2 raises the stakes with an even deadlier game of cat and mouse.
Eddie Redmayne returns as the enigmatic assassin known only as the Jackal. After narrowly escaping capture in Season 1, the Jackal resurfaces in 2025 with a new mission—one that spans continents and threatens to ignite global chaos. His target is no longer just political leaders, but the fragile alliances holding together an uneasy world order. Every move he makes is precise, calculated, and ruthless, drawing governments and intelligence agencies into a frantic pursuit.
Meanwhile, the dogged investigator who has dedicated his life to stopping him finds his career, and sanity, tested to the breaking point. With international agencies divided and political agendas in play, the line between hunter and hunted blurs. Can the Jackal truly be caught—or is he always one step ahead?
Season 2 expands beyond Europe, moving into the shadowy corridors of power in Washington, Moscow, and the Middle East. The tone is darker, the pace relentless, and the suspense razor-sharp. Betrayals, conspiracies, and shocking twists ensure that no one is safe.
Tense, atmospheric, and gripping, The Day of the Jackal – Season 2 is not just a story about an assassin, but a meditation on obsession, identity, and the cost of pursuing justice in a world where the truth is as dangerous as the lie.
