The high-stakes espionage thriller The Day of the Jackal returns for a gripping second season, expanding the intrigue and tension that captivated audiences in its debut. Eddie Redmayne reprises his role as the elusive assassin known only as the Jackal, navigating a perilous world where every alliance comes with a price and every betrayal leaves scars.

Following the explosive events of Season 1, the Jackal is drawn into dual conflicts: his struggle to reconcile with estranged wife Nuria (Úrsula Corberó), and his pursuit of retribution against former employer Timothy Winthrop (Charles Dance), whose treachery over a lucrative contract has set a deadly game in motion. As the stakes rise, the series delves deeper into the fractured psyche of its enigmatic anti-hero, exposing the toll his profession takes on both body and soul.

The returning ensemble cast includes Eleanor Matsuura as Zina Jansone, Chukwudi Iwuji as Osita Halcrow, Lia Williams as Isabel Kirby, Sule Rimi as Paul Pullman, and Florisa Kamara as Jasmine Pullman. Absent this season is Lashana Lynch as Bianca, whose storyline concluded in the dramatic finale of Season 1.

Though production is set to commence in early 2025, the series is projected for release in 2026—promising an even more intense continuation of betrayal, survival, and global espionage.
