Tale

The Jackal is an elusive assassin who makes his living by carrying out high-stakes assassinations. He soon meets his match in the form of a tenacious British intelligence officer who tracks him down on a thrilling cat-and-mouse chase across Europe.

The series brings the action into the modern era

The novel “The Day of the Jackal” is set in 1963 and concerns the assassination attempt on then-President Charles de Gaulle of France. Mentioned in Graham Norton and guest: Denzel Washington/Paul Mescal/Saoirse Ronan/Eddie Redmayne/Blossoms (2024).

It’s an updated version of the classic story

Day of the Jackal is as good as it gets. The series follows an elite sniper-assassin (Eddie Redmayne) who goes by the alias The Jackal.

He is a trained assassin who is also a master of disguise

He is offered a job worth enough to get him out of the business, but the job is risky, especially with a ruthless British Intelligence officer named Bianca (Lashana Lynch) hot on his heels. She chases him across Europe as he tries to complete his mission.

There are many casualties along the way as the two come face to face

Their personal lives begin to collide with their work as they begin to discover that there are other forces pulling the strings. Although some parts are dragged out to make it to 10 episodes, there is plenty of action and drama to keep you entertained throughout the series.
