Eddie Redmayne has confirmed he is returning for the second season of "The Day of the Jackal". The show was renewed last month. The Sky and Peacock series is an adaptation of the 1972 book and the 1973 feature film of the same name.
Redmayne made the announcement via Instagram: "If there's one thing that the Jackal can't stand, it's a loose end. So we will see you soon for Season 2".
The show's producer Gareth Neame recently admitted he was not keen to reboot the property, having been a huge fan of the original film: "I think eventually the business imperative took over, and I said, 'Well, alright, we need some business, so we'll [do it].'"
Lead director Brian Kirk also added that the decision to upend audience's expectations was baked into the reboot from the beginning: "I think that that there'd been such an intense investment in the character of the Jackal, and so much excitement about how much further he could be taken, and that's been validated by the fact that there's a second season. It's about growing the IP... and it is 'The Day of the Jackal' it’s not 'The Day of the Person Who Kills the Jackal'. So it felt appropriate."
