Additional supporting cast members include Lia Williams, Khalid Abdalla, Eleanor Matsuura, Jonjo O’Neill, Nick Blood, Sule Rimi, and Florisa Kamara. This new adaptation of The Day of the Jackal promises to deliver a fresh and contemporary take on Frederick Forsyth’s iconic novel, with all the fast-paced thrills and global intrigue that fans of the original story have come to expect.

The Day of the Jackal will be available for streaming on Peacock in the U.S. and Sky in the U.K. and Europe this fall, offering a high-octane series for audiences worldwide.
