Eddie Redmayne’s Jackal has always lived behind masks—but this time, the hit is personal. A shadowy client places an impossible contract: a bounty on every identity the Jackal has ever been. Suddenly, Europe’s most lethal assassins are hunting not a man, but the ghosts of his past. As one alias after another is erased, the Jackal is forced to confront a terrifying truth—he is no longer just the hunter. He’s the prey.
The supporting cast sharpens the blade. Lashana Lynch is relentless as an MI6 operative closing in with surgical precision. Charles Dance looms over the chaos, quietly pulling strings from smoke-filled boardrooms. And Úrsula Corberó injects volatile energy as a wildcard operative whose loyalties are never clear—lover, rival, or executioner.
The series escalates into stylish insanity: whisper-quiet kills in the Paris catacombs, breathless chases through Alpine tunnels, and a jaw-dropping finale set inside the Large Hadron Collider itself. Redmayne versus Redmayne—past selves colliding in a kinetic blur of steel, shadows, and identity beneath the Swiss border.
Season 1 was a masterclass in restraint and tension. Season 2 detonates that foundation—bold, cerebral, and gloriously unhinged. The Jackal isn’t just raising the stakes; it’s rewriting the rules of identity at near-light speed.
