The thriller series The Day of the Jackal, starring Eddie Redmayne, is being celebrated as one of 2024’s best shows by viewers. Streaming weekly on Sky and Now TV, the series is a modern adaptation of Frederick Forsyth’s 1971 novel, following a cunning assassin targeting Europe’s elite tech CEOs.
Redmayne’s character, known for his elaborate disguises using prosthetics, faces off against MI6 agent Bianca Pullman, played by Lashana Lynch, a firearms expert determined to bring him down.
Fans have praised the show’s gripping plot and Redmayne’s chilling performance. "This is one of the best series I’ve watched in a long time," said one fan online, while another raved about the makeup team, calling their work award-worthy.
The Independent ranked The Day of the Jackal 10th in its list of 2024’s best shows. Despite not claiming the top spot, the series has sparked widespread acclaim and is often compared to other hits like Cross and Shōgun.
For Redmayne, stepping into the role of an assassin marked a shift from his usual period dramas. Filming in sunny Croatia and Budapest was a welcome change from the heavy costumes of his past projects. "It was nice to just throw on trousers and a shirt for once," he quipped.
With its thrilling twists and standout performances, The Day of the Jackal is a must-watch. New episodes are streaming now.
