The Day of the Jackal soundtrack: Who sings theme song in Eddie Redmayne show?

As a movie buff with a penchant for suspenseful thrillers and a soft spot for contemporary reimaginings of classic stories, I am genuinely excited about The Day of the Jackal. With Eddie Redmayne and Lashana Lynch leading the cast, this series promises to deliver an exhilarating cat-and-mouse chase across Europe.


The Day of the Jackal has been given a contemporary reimagining courtesy of Sky and Peacock.

Featuring Eddie Redmayne and Lashana Lynch, this series centers around Redmayne’s role as a global assassin. After completing his latest mission, he encounters his equal in the form of a British intelligence officer (Lynch), setting off an exhilarating game of cat-and-mouse that spans across Europe.

A suspenseful soundtrack accompanies the action, which features a handful of contemporary songs as well as a timeless score created by Volker Bertelmann, who is best known for his work on Lion and All Quiet on the Western Front.

Read on for everything you need to know about The Day of the Jackal‘s soundtrack.

Who sings the theme song in The Day of the Jackal?

The British artist Celeste is responsible for creating the powerful theme tune titled “This Is Who I Am” for the program.

This Is Who I Am continues the journey of the award-winning and critically acclaimed artist, following his 2022 single titled ‘To Love a Man’.

In a statement, Gareth Neame, CEO and executive producer at production company Carnival Films, expressed that Celeste’s “This Is Who I Am” mirrors the core of “The Day of the Jackal,” capturing both its gripping and unique qualities.

As a film enthusiast, I can confidently say that the search for an impactful theme song was successful. Celeste’s moving rendition not only resonates deeply but also adds layers of emotion and drama, making it a perfect fit for the opening credits.

As a film enthusiast, I eagerly anticipate the moment when Celeste unveils the next chapter of her captivating tale, as suggested by a recent announcement.

As a devoted admirer, I’d say “This Is Who I Am” serves less as a musical reintroduction for Celeste, but more as an empowering journey of self-discovery and creative distillation. It represents a decisive stride into her next artistic chapter, a phase that truly encapsulates her craft and identity.
