This isn’t Fred Zinnemann’s “The Day of the Jackal,” but the Peacock series brings forth just as much thrill and action as the 1973 film.

The series is based on Frederick Forsyth’s 1971 novel of the same name, and it’s cast Eddie Redmayne to take on Edward Fox’s role as The Jackal. Redmayne also serves as one of the executive producers for the series.

“The Day of the Jackal” was directed by Brian Kirk (“Game of Thrones”) and was written by Ronan Bennet (“Top Boy”).
