Loosely based on Frederick Forsyth’s 1971 novel of the same name, this version brings the action up to date with a cat-and-mouse story set in modern times. Some things never change, however, and that includes the steely, mysterious assassin played here by Oscar-winning actor Eddie Redmayne (The theory of everything, Mythical Creatures and Where to Find Them).
Trying to stop him from achieving his deadly objectives is MI6 officer Bianca, played by Lashana Lynch, who was so impressive as Special Agent 007 in No time to die. Can she stop him before the next victim is taken out by the Jackal’s silent sniper rifle?
Starring Brian Kirk in the director’s chair who has dazzling small screen filmography, including Game of Thrones, Promenade Empire, Luther and much more, you can expect a compelling, stylish series that will keep you hooked until the end.
