00:00What's up everyone? If you're still recovering from that absolutely insane season 1 finale of
00:06The Day of the Jackal, you're not alone. Peacock's spy thriller delivered 10 straight
00:11episodes of tension, mind games, and brutal twists, and that ending left us with a ton
00:17of unanswered questions. Quick refresher, season 1 was a high-stakes cat and mouse chase between
00:24master assassin Jackal and relentless British intelligence officer Bianca Pullman, while
00:29Jackal was dodging MI6 and pulling off impossible jobs, he was also living a double life at home
00:35playing Charles, the perfect husband to Nuria, and trying to keep his real identity buried.
00:41But by the end of the season, that careful balance finally snapped. Nuria realized the truth,
00:48grabbed their newborn son Carlitos, and ran leaving Jackal, facing something he can't solve with a
00:53clean shot and an escape plan. Now for the big news. The Day of the Jackal was officially
00:59renewed for season 2, November 2024. Filming is expected to begin in January 2026, with major
01:09locations planned across Budapest, Croatia, and London. Based on that schedule, the most likely
01:16window for the premiere is early 2027. So yes, we've gotta wait, but it's happening.
01:23Plot-wise, season 2 looks way more personal. The story should pick up with Jackal hunting down Nuria and
01:30Carlitos, not as a contract, but as a family crisis. Even if he finds them quickly, the real mission will
01:38be emotional. Earning back trust from a woman who just learned her entire life was built on lies. And if
01:45Jackal truly wants his family back, he may have to do the one thing he never does open up. That could
01:51mean deeper backstory, and the most vulnerable version of him we've seen yet. Cast updates.
01:58Eddie Redmayne is confirmed to return as Jackal, and Ursula Corbero is expected back as Nuria,
02:04since she's now central to the story. But Lashana Lynch won't return as Bianca,
02:08after her character's tragic end in the finale. So who becomes the next major threat? MI6 agents
02:15Ozita Halcro and Vince Pine could step up, and there's also a chance the series introduces Claude
02:20Lebel, the classic rival from the original story. Plus, expect more from Xena and Timothy Winthorpe,
02:28because Winthorpe is still a massive problem, and he's got bounties out on both Jackal and Xena.
02:34Season 2 is shaping up to be bigger, darker, and way more personal. Are you hoping for a new
02:41MI6 rival, or the Claude Lebel introduction?
