Peacock’s The Day of the Jackal has officially bagged two more award nominations — this time from the Screen Actors Guild (SAG), which recognized both the show’s general ensemble and main lead, Eddie Redmayne.
The Jackal cast — which also includes the talents of Lashana Lynch, Chukwudi Iwuji, Úrsula Corberó, Charles Dance, and Eleanor Matsuura — is up against plenty of stiff competition, including the ensembles from Bridgerton, Shōgun, The Diplomat, and Slow Horses.
What SAG Award nominations did The Day of the Jackal earn?
Outstanding Performance by a Male Actor in a Drama Series (Eddie Redmayne)
Outstanding Performance by an Ensemble in a Drama Series
