A British action drama and spy thriller, The Day of The Jackal is inspired by the novel of the same name authored by Frederick Forsyth. The plot of the series is a modern-day retelling focused on a cold-blooded assassin known as the Jackal and an intelligence officer determined to catch the Jackal.
The plot of the series takes place in today's political landscape. It follows the cat-and-mouse chase between the Jackal and the intelligence officer. The cast of the series features Eddie Redmayne and Lashana Lynch.
The series was written and created by Ronan Bennett and produced by Christopher Hall. Brian Kirk, Paul Wilmshurst, Anu Menon, and Anthony Philipson serve as directors of the series. The first season of The Day of The Jackal was released in November 2024.
In the same month, the series was renewed for a second season. While it has been confirmed that audiences will see the Jackal return, the series is yet to confirm when the second season will be released. Audiences might get to see season 2 by early 2026.
When will The Day of The Jackal Season 2 be released?
Peacock confirmed in November 2024 that the series would return for a second season. This has left audiences wondering when the second season of the series will be released.
Keeping in mind the time it took to release the first season, audiences can expect the second season to be released by early 2026. The first season of the series was filmed for seven months across the UK, Budapest, Croatia, and Austria.
Having finished filming in November 2023, the series was released after a year. While there is no set production date for season two yet, it is safe to assume production will begin in 2025. Audiences can expect season two to be released by 2026 if the network follows a schedule similar to season one.
What can audiences expect from The Day of The Jackal Season 2?
The season one finale of the series will release on Thursday, December 12, 2024. Post the release of the season finale, audiences will get a better idea of what to expect in season two.
The episode before the season one finale episode saw Jackal tell his wife, Nuria, about his true identity. After confessing to Nuria, the Jackal kills a tech billionaire called Ulle Dag Charles.
Audiences can expect the season one finale to reveal if Bianca, who has been chasing the Jackal since the mysterious killing of Jimmie, will finally get a hold of the Jackal.
While we are still unsure of what season 2 will entail, audiences can expect certain cast members to return to the second season. Cast members who could potentially return to the series are, Úrsula Corberó, Richard Dormer, Lia Williams, Charles Dance, Chukwudi Iwuji, Khalid Abdalla, Jonjo O'Neill, and Eleanor Matsuura.
