New Peacock Series: Day of the Jackal f. Eddie Redmayne
- Thread starter playahaitian
- Start date
Hmm. At the time the (original) movie was released the real-life plot was not that distant. This was a time without cell phones and the interwebz so news wasn't immediate. Also, there were no whistleblowers so countries had lots of secrets.
Say that to say, I wonder just how they intend to pull it off because real assassinations these days are so simple they don't make for a movie or series.
Guess we'll have to tune in and see.
Strong cast tho.

The Day of the Jackal (TV series) - Wikipedia
The Day of the Jackal is an upcoming British television drama serial adaptation of the Frederick Forsyth novel of the same name. It is starring Eddie Redmayne and Lashana Lynch. It is produced by Ronan Bennett and directed by Brian Kirk.
Premise
Reimagined into a contemporary political setting, the classic novel centres on a ruthless British assassin, known only as the "Jackal", and the intelligence officer tasked with capturing him.[1]
Looks like a number of The Day of the Jackal episodes are now available online, as it has already commenced airing overseas.
Not quite sure what the rollout is in North America ... but I believe it's next week in the U.S. and Canada via Peacock and Showcase respectively.
As for the rollout schedule though ... looks like they are doing 5 episodes right off the bat, followed by once weekly until it wraps up in December.

Definitely a strange roll-out schedule too, right?
5 episodes right off the bat, followed by once weekly for 5 weeks.
Yeah I don't get that drop - 2 then go weekly or drop them all.
I'm watching regardless but it could confuse the audience. I hope that because it's so good that first 5 locks folk in.

The next rotation of shows is gonna be The Day of the Jackal / Cross / Landman / Yellowstone
And lemme know if you get around to Slow Horses. Definitely recommend that one. Just finished up the 4th season last month. Seasons are easy to get through at only 6 episodes each.

It's interesting ... it's almost like you're playing catch up right from the start to "binge" those ones ... then it slows down to a normal wait-for-it pacing.
Like you said ... hopefully those first 5 lock us in.
Don't have Peacock here, but it looks like Showcase in Canada is carrying it once weekly for the time being (they air their own original programming, as well as the stuff they have the rights to from HBO, Showtime, Peacock over time).
I just came in here to write the same exact thing word for word
My oldest hasn't watched a minute before but walked in watched the second half of the 3rd episode and said that's stupid. No woman is doing all that. Why are watching that Dad?
I really hope the wife (and her family) angle doesn't ruin this because Eddie is perfect in this role. He has the audience rooting for him.
They could have done the wife thing so much better. You could have had her suspicious and the mother nagging the brother still pushing to be down with whatever business the husband is in...
But I'm giving this show the benefit of the doubt to stick the landing

That wife ain't sh*t
I don't like Bianca so much I'm rooting for the Jackal now.
Really enjoying it. Watched episode 3 yesterday and gonna get caught up on the additional episodes over the next week.
Current rotation = The Day of the Jackal / Yellowstone / Landman / A Man on the Inside
Upcoming rotation once those are complete = Cross / The Agency
Might add Cobra Kai soon as it's just part 2 of a season and should be easy to get through

Fave part of the 2nd half of the 3rd episode ... guy in the car says to him - "Who are you?"
He replies - "You know who I am ..."
The Agency premiered with the first two episodes on Paramount+ with Showtime on November 29, 2024 in the USA, with worldwide streaming following on November 30.[16][17]

Hmmm....
The CEO of UnitedHealthcare was reportedly shot and killed in Midtown New York. Damn
Damn. Hit him with the hush puppy and rode off on a bike. And got away, in NY. I'm impressed. Very. On Big Brother's watch. Ice cold water from the icebergs of Antartica were coursing through his veins.

You will not be disappointed

In the back of your mind, think about the recent shooting and the f**king eerie similarities between this show and the "actual" recent events.
They dropped the rest of the season
Should have kept the current weekly schedule.

I hope they end strong
Gonna watch episode 10 with pops this evening.
Gave mom her flashdrive of updated items yesterday (had 9 of the 10 episodes of Jackal on there for her).
I was worried how they were going to resolve the brother in law and wife storyline so far so good.
It's been a good season on the whole. Told her and her boyfriend they will undoubtedly enjoy it. They like spy / thriller-type shows.
Had a chance to watch the pilot of Interior Chinatown with them, as well as the movies Spooks - The Greater Good, and Saturday Night.
The items I added to their flashdrive were:
- The end of season 4 of Only Murders
- Cross - full season
- Interior Chinatown - full season
- Landman - the 5 episodes that have aired so far
- The Day of the Jackal - 9 of the 10 episodes
- Say Nothing - full season
- The Agency - the first 2 episodes
- The Sticky - full season
Movies ...
- My Old Ass
- Fanatical - The Catfishing of Tegan and Sara
- The Day of the Jackal (1973)
- Blitz
- Juror #2
Her Google alerts were set to SNIPERS?
That should have never left the writer's room.
