Season 2 of The Day of the Jackal picks up with the legendary assassin presumed dead after the events of Season 1. But whispers of high-profile killings across Europe suggest otherwise. The Jackal (Eddie Redmayne), now operating under a new alias, is hired for a final mission: eliminate a rogue NATO general threatening to expose global intelligence operations.

Lashana Lynch’s Agent Okoro is reinstated to track him down, but her pursuit reveals the Jackal may be targeting corrupt leaders for reasons more personal than political. Flashbacks uncover the assassin’s origin, tied to a decades-old betrayal by MI6.

As a cat-and-mouse game unfolds across Paris, Berlin, and Istanbul, the Jackal begins questioning his own legacy. The finale sees him faking his death again—only to secretly pass on his trade to a mysterious young protégé. The hunter becomes the myth… and the cycle begins anew.
