The Day of the Jackal Season 2 Plot
At the end of Season 1, Jackal kills Bianca, the MI‑6 agent who chased him all season. She was sent by her boss Isabel, who was secretly working for Jackal’s boss, billionaire Timothy Winthorp. Bianca leaves behind her husband Paul and daughter Jasmine.
Jackal stops the attack, but he cannot keep his family together. His wife Nuria and their baby son leave before he can reach them, and no one knows where they are now. Another survivor is Zina. She almost gets killed too, but she decides to tell Jackal the truth. She reveals that Winthorp is the one behind it all, after he tried to have her killed.
The finale shows Jackal’s victory, but also his losses, and sets up big mysteries for Season 2.
The Day of the Jackal Season 2 Preview
The plot for Season 2 has not been shared yet, but the teaser gives a big clue. Actor Eddie Redmayne says, “If there’s one thing the Jackal can’t stand, it’s a loose end.”
Redmayne also told TV Insider that the Jackal wants to find Nuria, his wife. He believes Jackal is deeply in love with her. After living alone since Afghanistan, Jackal thought he could balance his secret life with family. But now, that choice is breaking him apart.
Executive producer Gareth Naeme gave another hint. He said fans love seeing how the assassin works — who hires him, how he carries out missions, and the danger around him. Season 2 will continue to explore that side of the story.
