The brand new crime chase thriller The Day of the Jackal premiers November 2024. The series is a reimagining of a 1971 novel of the same name by Frederick Forsyth, and much like the original material, delves into the background of the elusive assassin known to authorities simply as The Jackal. However, the 2024 series puts a modern twist to the source material, recontextualizing it with the contemporary political setting.
Where to Watch The Day of the Jackal
The Day of the Jackal streams on Peacock beginning Thursday, November 7.
