Peacock has struck gold with its brand-new adaptation of the classic thriller novel, and now The Day of the Jackal has been renewed for a second season. Based on the eponymous book by Frederick Forsyth, the gripping spy story modernizes the tale and concerns the notorious British assassin, the Jackal, and the determined intelligence agent who is dispatched to catch him. Maintaining all the hallmarks of the spy thriller genre that make Forsyth’s works so compelling, the newest take on The Day of the Jackal adds just the right amount of modern touches to keep things fresh and new.
