This isn’t Fred Zinnemann’s “The Day of the Jackal,” but the Peacock series produces just as much excitement and action as the 1973 film.

The series is based on Frederick Forsyth’s 1971 novel of the same name, and stars Eddie Redmayne as Edward Fox as The Jackal. Redmayne also serves as one of the series’ executive producers.

“The Day of the Jackal” was directed by Brian Kirk (“Game of Thrones”) and written by Ronan Bennet (“Top Boy”).
