Every ghost has a target. Every target leaves a mark.
The assassin they thought had vanished is backโand more dangerous than ever. Eddie Redmayne returns as the elusive Jackal in the riveting second season of The Day of the Jackal, picking up in the shadow of Season 1โs explosive finale. Still reeling from betrayal and heartbreak, the Jackal is no longer just a killer-for-hireโheโs a man with scores to settle and ghosts to silence.
At the center of this new chapter is a personal vendetta: his former handler, Timothy Winthrop (Charles Dance), whose treachery not only compromised a mission but shattered fragile trust. As the Jackal hunts Winthrop across global cities and cold war corridors, he is forced to confront a deeper vulnerabilityโthe sudden reappearance of Nuria (รrsula Corberรณ), the estranged wife he never truly let go of.
The returning ensemble castโEleanor Matsuura, Chukwudi Iwuji, Lia Williams, Sule Rimi, and Florisa Kamaraโanchor the series with gripping intensity. The departure of Lashana Lynchโs Bianca marks a turning point, as Season 2 transitions from external threats to the inner war within the Jackalโs soul. Loyalties splinter, old allies become liabilities, and the line between predator and prey fades.
Production begins in early 2025, with international locations and a darker, more psychological tone. Behind the sleek contract kills and covert intelligence, this season explores the consequences of choosing violenceโand the cost of walking away from it. The Jackal may still be the best, but even he canโt outrun his past forever.
๐ฏ The Day of the Jackal โ Season 2 premieres in 2026.
One shot. One ghost. One last chance at redemption.
