Watch the Teaser for The Day of the Jackal

The Eddie Redmayne-led assassin thriller streams this fall. 

By Peacock Staff

Peacock has released the trailer for The Day of the Jackal, an upcoming thriller series based on the all-time classic 1971 novel of the same name. Though the Jackal must escape the clutches of the law as he travails across Europe, we know exactly where and when to find him: on Peacock this November, of course. 

When will The Day of the Jackal premiere?  

All ten episodes of The Day of the Jackal will premiere on Peacock Nov 7.  

What is the Day of the Jackal about? 

The series follows an unrivaled and highly elusive lone assassin, known as the Jackal, (Eddie Redmayne) who makes his living carrying out hits for the highest fee. But following his latest kill, he may have met his match in a tenacious British intelligence officer (Lashana Lynch) who starts to track down the Jackal in a thrilling cat-and-mouse chase across Europe, leaving destruction in its wake. The Day of the Jackal is directed by Brian Kirk (Game of Thrones), written by Ronan Bennet (Top Boy), and stars Oscar®-winner Eddie Redmayne (The Theory of Everything), BAFTA®-winner Lashana Lynch (The Woman King), and Úrsula Corberó (Money Heist).
