The Day of the Jackal Season 2 (2025) slinks back with Eddie Redmayne’s chilling Jackal, turning up the heat on espionage’s razor edge. Picking up from Season 1’s explosive fallout, the elusive killer juggles a crumbling marriage with Úrsula Corberó’s fiery Nuria while plotting payback against Charles Dance’s treacherous ex-boss, Timothy Winthrop. This chapter cracks open the Jackal’s psyche—his lethal craft’s toll, fractured bonds, and ghosts that won’t stay buried—making every shadow a potential trap.

Redmayne’s magnetic menace anchors the intrigue, while Eleanor Matsuura’s Zina Jansone, Chukwudi Iwuji’s Osita Halcrow, Lia Williams’ Isabel Kirby, Sule Rimi’s Paul Pullman, and Florisa Kamara’s Jasmine Pullman weave a web of loyalty and lies. Lashana Lynch’s Bianca bows out after her arc’s close, but the ensemble’s fire keeps the pulse racing. Creator Ronan Bennett steps back for new ventures, with David Harrower scripting a sharper psychological edge.

Expect taut cat-and-mouse chases, moral gut-punches, and twists that hit like silenced shots. Filming kicks off early 2025 for a 2026 Peacock/Sky premiere, with Redmayne teasing “a shitload” more layers. Rated 8.8/10 anticipation—this is covert chaos at its sleekest, where vengeance is personal and survival slim. Don’t blink!
