The highly anticipated second season of The Day of the Jackal picks up where the first left off, further immersing viewers into the world of espionage, deception, and personal conflict. Eddie Redmayne returns as the mysterious and lethal assassin known as the Jackal, navigating a complex web of shifting allegiances and deep-seated rivalries.

Following the explosive events of Season 1, the Jackal finds himself caught in a two-front struggle: trying to repair his fractured relationship with his estranged wife, Nuria (Úrsula Corberó), while also facing the betrayal of his former employer, Timothy Winthrop (Charles Dance), who has double-crossed him on a crucial contract. This season delves deeper into the Jackal’s inner turmoil, offering a closer look at the man behind the cold exterior and exploring the emotional toll of his violent career.

The returning cast features 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. Notably, Lashana Lynch’s character, Bianca, will not return after her storyline concluded in the previous season.
