<p>After some time on stage performing in Cabaret, <strong>Eddie Redmayne</strong> is back on screen with a historical thriller that promises suspense, <a href="https://spoiler.bolavip.com/en/topic/drama">drama</a> and a great deal of political chaos: <strong>The Day of the Jackal</strong>.</p>



<p>The star of “Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them” and “Les Misérables” is not the only talented figure in the cast, as he is joined by <strong>Ben Hall</strong>,<strong> Sule Rimim</strong>, <strong>Úrsula Corberó</strong>, <strong>Lashana Lynch</strong>, <strong>Charles Dance</strong> and many others.</p>



<p>The first season, which consists of ten episodes, follows a rival-less and elusive lone assassin, The Jackal, who makes a living carrying out high-priced hits. The <a href="https://spoiler.bolavip.com/en/topic/series">series</a> will arrive on <strong>Peacock</strong>‘s catalog for the US on <strong>November 7</strong> of this year.</p>



<h2>Is ‘The Day of the Jackal’ based on a true story?</h2>



<p>No! The upcoming <a href="https://spoiler.bolavip.com/en/peacock">Peacock</a> series <strong>is based on the 1971 novel of the same name by Frederick Forsyth</strong> and the 1973 film adaptation by Universal. It is not a true story, so its characters and events are 100 percent fictional.</p>

<p>The story, both of the <a href="https://spoiler.bolavip.com/en/topic/thriller">thriller</a> and the popular book, revolves around an anonymous assassin, known only as “The Jackal”, who is hired to kill Charles de Gaulle, the President of France.</p>



<p>The literary work is set in a politically tense context of the 1960s and early 1970s. It has a historical atmosphere of the time, but its characters and the assassination plot are products of the author’s imagination.</p>



<p><strong>Eddie Redmayne </strong>will bring to life The Jackal, a character who combines intelligence, camouflage skills, and an unrelenting focus on his mission, making him a memorable antagonist in the <a href="https://spoiler.bolavip.com/en/topic/books">book</a> and its adaptations.</p>
