The Jackal’s Dilemma
As a cunning and elusive lone assassin, known as “The Jackal” (Redmayne), I’ve honed my skills to execute high-stakes contracts. However, after completing my latest assignment, I find myself confronting a relentless British intelligence officer (Lynch) who is hot on my tail. This sets off an exhilarating game of cat and mouse across Europe, with chaos left in our wake as we race towards an inevitable showdown.
In addition to Redmayne and Lynch, The Day of the Jackal also features stars such as Úrsula Corberó, Charles Dance, Richard Dormer, Chukwudi Iwuji, Lia Williams, Khalid Abdalla, Eleanor Matsuura, Jonjo O’Neill, and Sule Rimi.

Among my esteemed co-executive producers are Redmayne, Lynch, Gareth Neame, Nigel Marchant, Sam Hoyle, Sue Naegle, and Brian Kirk. We’re all eager for you to experience our work!
