The television world has been buzzing with excitement over the return of a beloved British political thriller. Fans have been raving about the show, calling it the best series of the year. And now, the news is official - a second season is in the works.
Starring Eddie Redmayne and Lashana Lynch, this thrilling series is based on the 1971 book by Frederick Forsyth, The Day of the Jackal. Redmayne plays the role of the Jackal, a highly skilled and elusive assassin who takes on high-paying hits. But when he is pursued by a determined British intelligence officer, Bianca, a thrilling cat-and-mouse game ensues, leaving destruction in its wake.
The show has garnered a large and devoted following, with one fan even saying it left a lasting impression on them. It has also broken records, becoming the biggest Sky Original and biggest launch on Sky in over two years, with a whopping three million viewers in the first week of its release.
Excitement for the upcoming second season is already building, with fans eagerly anticipating its return. One fan on social media praised Redmayne's performance, saying he gave one of the best performances of the year. Another fan called the show a gem and expressed their hope for another season.
It's no surprise that the show has been renewed for a second season, given its success and popularity. But the announcement came as a pleasant surprise to many, especially since the current season has not even finished airing yet. The two-part finale is set to air on December 12th.
The Day of the Jackal has a rich history, having been turned into a film in 1973 with Edward Fox in the lead role. It has since been hailed as one of the greatest political thrillers in cinema. Redmayne, who plays the Jackal in the series, revealed that he had doubts about taking on the role, having grown up watching the original film with his family. But he was ultimately drawn to the show's unique structure and the complexity of the characters.
The first season is currently streaming on Sky Atlantic and NOW, and fans are eagerly awaiting the second season.
