Exciting news for all thriller fans! A highly-anticipated new show, starring an Oscar-winning actor, is finally on the horizon and it looks like it's going to be the talk of the town. Today, Sky has released the first official trailer and production photos for The Day of the Jackal, a gripping cat-and-mouse drama that is sure to keep audiences on the edge of their seats.
Eddie Redmayne takes on the role of the cunning assassin known as the Jackal, who is being hunted down by the determined British intelligence officer, Bianca. From the looks of the action-packed trailer, it seems like Eddie, at 42 years old, has what it takes to be the next James Bond. He's shown causing chaos and destruction across Europe, from setting off bombs to intense shootouts in iconic locations like Paris. Meanwhile, Bianca (played by Lashana Lynch) is seen frantically trying to catch the Jackal before he strikes again.
The trailer has already garnered a lot of attention on YouTube, with fans eagerly clearing their November schedules to catch the premiere. One fan, @kayell1010, even declared that they will be watching The Day of the Jackal despite other competitive shows airing at the same time. Another fan, @christopherofficial, was impressed by the intense action sequences, likening them to the iconic Jason Bourne franchise. And @anamikapramanik1910 simply stated that they will watch anything with Eddie Redmayne in it.
It's no surprise that The Day of the Jackal is shaping up to be one of the most thrilling shows of 2024. With a reported budget of £100million, it is also said to be the most expensive series ever produced by Sky. In fact, it has been rumored that Eddie will be earning a whopping £1,000,000 per episode for his role in the 10-part series. It's no wonder that many TV companies and broadcasters are struggling to keep up with the demands of high-end dramas like this one.
Adapted from the 1971 book by Frederick Forsyth, The Day of the Jackal has also been made into a film in 1973 and 1997. But this Sky reboot promises to bring a fresh and intense take on the story, with an all-star cast including Ursula Corbero, Charles Dance, Khalid Abdalla, Lia Williams, Eleanor Matsuura, and Nick Blood. The series has been written and adapted by Ronan Bennett, the mastermind behind the award-winning series Top Boy, and directed by Brian Kirk.
Mark your calendars because The Day of the Jackal is set to premiere on Sky Atlantic and streaming service Now on November 7. It's a show you won't want to miss!
