Stepping off the glamour of ‘Cabaret’ on Broadway, multiple award-winner Eddie Redmayne takes on an enigmatic role in the upcoming Sky drama, “The Day of the Jackal.” For those who remember, this title echoes the modern reinterpretation of Frederick Forsyth’s 1971 novel, which was previously brought to life by Fred Zinnemann in the 1973 film with Edward Fox. The new television adaptation by Ronan Bennett is slated for release on November 7 and sets the story against a contemporary political backdrop. In this tale, the elusive assassin known as the Jackal is doggedly pursued by a determined British intelligence officer, portrayed by Lashana Lynch from ‘No Time to Die.’ Additionally, the cast includes Ursula Corbero from ‘Money Heist’ and ‘Game of Thrones’ veterans Charles Dance and Richard Dormer. The trailer hints at ten thrilling episodes filled with suspense as Redmayne and Lynch engage in a high-stakes game of cat-and-mouse.
