The Day of the Jackal – Season 2 (2025)

The acclaimed espionage thriller The Day of the Jackal returns for a gripping second season, raising the stakes in the high‑risk world of covert operations that captivated audiences in its debut. Eddie Redmayne reprises his role as the elusive and calculating assassin known only as the Jackal, navigating a dangerous landscape of shifting alliances, unfinished business, and personal vendettas.
Picking up after the explosive events of Season 1, the Jackal is caught in a dual battle—attempting to mend his fractured relationship with his estranged wife, Nuria (Úrsula Corberó), while taking aim at his former employer, Timothy Winthrop (Charles Dance), who betrayed him by reneging on a lucrative contract.

This season peels back more layers of the Jackal’s psyche, exploring the toll of his lethal profession and the tangled complexities of the relationships that define—and haunt—him. 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 absent is Lashana Lynch’s character, Bianca, whose arc reached its conclusion last season.
While an official release date has not yet been confirmed, filming is expected to begin in early 2025, with a projected 2026 premiere—subject to scheduling and production timelines.
