Sky and Peacock have recommissioned drama thriller The Day of the Jackal for a second season.

The show, which stars Oscar winner Eddie Redmayne as a ruthless assassin, debuted earlier this month and has already been sold to almost 200 territories around the world.

In the UK, the show quickly became the highest-rated Sky original in history, with more than 3 million viewers in the first week alone - and is also the top-rated Sky original in the service's other territories of Ireland, Germany, Italy, Switzerland and Austria.

On the other side of the pond, meanwhile, the show topped Peacock's most-watched TV shows and ranked as one of the streamer's top 5 original series for an opening weekend.

Further details about season two have yet to be revealed, although early 2026 is thought to be the most likely air date.
