The cold, calculating assassin is back. The Day of the Jackal Season 2 has been officially confirmed, and Eddie Redmayne is set to reprise his chilling role as the infamous Jackal. But with the shocking twists of Season 1 diverging from the original novel, fans are eager to see where the story goes next.

A New Chapter for the Jackal

Unlike Frederick Forsyth’s novel, where the Jackal meets his end, the series took a bold turn—allowing the assassin to escape and setting the stage for an even deadlier sequel. With MI6’s Bianca (Lashana Lynch) hot on his trail and his cover blown, Season 2 promises a relentless pursuit filled with high-stakes action and unexpected alliances.

Record-Breaking Success & What’s Next

The first season shattered records, pulling in a massive 4.5 million UK viewers for its premiere episode alone. Given this overwhelming response, keeping the Jackal alive was a strategic move, allowing for deeper character development and even greater suspense in Season 2.

Director Brian Kirk hints that this new season will explore not just the Jackal’s survival but also his quest for revenge. Meanwhile, speculation is swirling over Bianca’s fate—will she return for a final showdown, or will a new rival assassin emerge to challenge the Jackal?

With higher stakes, unexpected twists, and Redmayne’s mesmerizing performance, The Day of the Jackal Season 2 is shaping up to be an electrifying ride. Are you ready for the hunt to begin again?
