According to The Hollywood Reporter, Day Of The Jackal “ranked among the top five original streaming series in the U.S. for its opening weekend, based on preliminary Nielsen data,” and in the U.K. became Sky Atlantic’s best series debut in two years.

My day has been made as The Day of the Jackal has been renewed for a second season at Peacock and Sky.

Lashana Lynch also stars in the 10-episode thriller about a professional assassin and the intelligence officer chasing him, adapted from Frederick Forsyth's 1971 novel.
