The Day Of The Jackal season 2 follows on directly from the first season with British star Eddie Redmayne again playing the top assassin Charles Calthrop (also Alexander Duggan), otherwise known as The Jackal to those who hire him and those chasing him down.
It's no surprise that we're getting series 2 as The Day Of the Jackal season 1 was such a huge hit worldwide. In 2024 the show was announced as the biggest new series to ever launch on Sky, by any supplier, with the first episode reaching an audience of 4.5 million, and that was after just 26 viewing days since the thriller launched in the UK in November 7 2024 (November 14 in the US). In the US the drama ranked #1 on Peacock’s Top 10 TV Shows on its platform and was a Top 5 streaming original in the US for its opening weekend.
