That said, production on the show’s first season took roughly seven months, followed by a 12-month pause between the conclusion of filming and the launch of the season.
So if The Day of the Jackal season 2 were to follow a similar schedule, we’re likely looking at a just under 2 year wait depending on when filming commences. We’ll keep our fingers crossed for a 2026 release date, though ultimately it remains to be seen!

The Day of the Jackal season 2 cast
If you’ve read The Day of the Jackal by Frederick Forsyth or have seen the original 1973 film adaptation, you’ll know that the conclusion of The Day of the Jackal series deviated from the original. With that in mind, we feel fairly confident in saying that it’s unlikely we’ll see Lashana Lynch’s Bianca back for The Day of the Jackal season 2. Or Vincent Pyn (Nick Blood) for that matter.
We would, however, expect Eddie Redmayne to reprise his role of The Jackal, though nothing has been confirmed yet.
Likewise, among others, we’d expect to see the following cast members return for a potential second season:
- Eleanor Matsuura as Zina Jansone
- Chukwudi Iwuji as Osita Halcrow
- Úrsula Corberó as Nuria
- Charles Dance as Timothy Winthorp
- Lia Williams as Isabel Kirby
- Khalid Abdalla as Ulle Dag Charles
- Sule Rimi as Paul Pullman
- Florisa Kamara as Jasmine Pullman

The Day of the Jackal season 2 plot
Sky is yet to share an official synopsis for what The Day of the Jackal season 2 has in store, but given that dramatic season 1 ending, we have some thoughts on where things are headed.
