Eddie Redmayne as The Jackal. (© 2023 Carnival Film & Television Limited)
What To Expect From The Day Of The Jackal.
By Olivia Emily, for Country& Town House, October 10th, 2024.
Perhaps Hollywood’s shiniest star of the 2010s – starring in the likes of My Week With Marilyn (2011), Les Misérables (2012), The Theory of Everything (2014) and The Danish Girl (2015) – Eddie Redmayne takes on a role unlike any of his others in The Day of the Jackal: an assassin. Here’s exactly what to expect from Sky’s brand new thriller.
The Day Of The Jackal: Plot, Cast, Release Date & More
In the works since 2022, Sky’s flagship series this autumn is this star-studded series. Written by Ronan Bennett and directed by Brian Kirk, Eddie Redmayne has been attached to the project as an executive producer since the very beginning, with the actor describing the original book as ‘reconceived and contemporised with a new target’ for the series. In March 2023, it was confirmed Redmayne would star in the title role, too.
What Is The Day Of The Jackal About?
The Day of the Jackal is a political thriller centring on a ruthless British assassin and the intelligence officer tasked with capturing him. Sky’s synopsis reads: ‘An unrivalled and highly elusive lone assassin, the Jackal (Eddie Redmayne), makes his living carrying out hits for the highest fee. But following his latest kill, he meets his match in a tenacious British intelligence officer (Lashana Lynch) who starts to track down the Jackal in a thrilling cat-and-mouse chase across Europe, leaving destruction in its wake. The series also stars Úrsula Corberó as Nuria, someone at the heart of The Jackal’s personal life, unaware of who he truly is.’
Where Was It Filmed?
The Day of the Jackal was filmed across Europe in 2023, beginning in Budapest in June, before moving to Vienna in July. As autumn drew in, it was over to Croatia, with filming taking place in Rijeka, Pag, Dubrovnik and the Istrian region.
What Is It Based On?
The Day of the Jackal is based on Frederick Forsyth’s 1971 novel of the same name. Critically and commercially acclaimed, Forsyth’s plot whisks us back to 1962 and begins with paramilitary terrorist organisation OAS’s real conspiracy to assassinate Charles de Gaulle, the President of France. In the book, the Jackal is tasked with the job. Forsyth’s novel was an instant bestseller – perhaps because it was published less than a year after the real de Gaulle actually died (of an aneurysm; he wasn’t assassinated). Sky’s series, however, moves the action to contemporary Britain.
If you recognise the plot, that’s because this isn’t the first time The Day of the Jackal has been adapted for the screen: in 1973, Edward Fox portrayed the Jackal in the book’s first film treatment, before Bruce Willis took on the role in the 1997 remake which re-set the action in the US, with the First Lady the assassination target

What Is A Jackal?
‘Jackal’ is the assassin’s codename in The Day of the Jackal. So what is a ‘jackal’? In the wild, a jackal is a canine mammal, smaller than a wolf but bigger than a fox. Found in Africa, the Middle East, Southeastern Europe and western and south Asia, jackals are opportunistic omnivores and predators of small to medium sized animals and, like foxes, typically hunt and scavenge at dawn and dusk. In conversation, however, to call someone a jackal is to describe them as cunning, dishonest and treacherous – and someone who performs base deeds for another.
How Many Episodes In The Day Of The Jackal?
The Day of the Jackal is a 10-part series, with each episode running for 60 minutes.
Release Date
Episode 1 of The Day of the Jackal will air on Sky Atlantic on Thursday 7 November 2024, and the following episodes will air weekly on Thursdays. The release schedule is as follows:

Rijeka Carnival Weekend Guide | Chasing the Donkey
Rijeka Carnival Weekend Guide | Chasing the Donkey
Some posts contain compensated links. Please read this disclaimer for more info. Move over Opatija, your lesser-known sister, Rijeka is my new favorite place in the Kvarner Region. I never bothered to go to Rijeka in the past 18 years of traveling Croatia – as I just thought it was a port town with nothing of real interest to me. Gasp, I was so wrong. Others had tried to tell me of Rijeka’s charm…

Zvončari ("bellmen") is the characteristic folk custom maintained in the region around Rijeka, Croatia. It was added to UNESCO's Representative List of the Intangible Cultural Heritage of Humanity in 2009.
The custom dates to Slavic pagan antiquity and remains typical for this region. The primary task of Zvončari is to scare away evil spirits of winter and to stir up new spring-time cycle. During the Rijeka Carnival, Zvončari march from village to village throughout the region, following the same centuries-old route, making an extraordinary amount of noise, fueled in part by the wine provided by the locals en route.
The standard Zvončar costume includes white trousers, striped shirt, and a sheepskin throw. In their hands they hold a "balta" or "bačuka" - a stylized mace, and around the waist one or more big brass bells. The costume varies from village to village; for example, Zvončari of Halubje and Grobnik [hr] (Dondolaši) wear special stylized masks representing fantastic animal heads, while Zvončari of Žejane and Brgud [hr] wear "flower hats". Local legend claims that it was the Zvončari that scared away invading Tatars or Turks during the Ottoman conquest, with shepherds doning masks on their heads, along with belted-on bells, produced a deafening noise that scared the enemy away. From that time on, a mace became part of the standard equipment of Zvončari.
The Zvončari participate regularly in the international Rijeka Carnival.

Image 6: @ladymavet writes, “the last pic is from Mohács, where Busójárás is held, that is related to the bulgarian “ kukeri “, basically the same with some differences - most slavic countries has their own version.”

My sister took this photo of a beautiful sea 'flower' and little Laura sea explorer many years ago. I completely forgot about this image and recently found it on a random CD while cleaning out the computer room. It was such a pleasant surprise 😄 Today the big carnival parade is happening in Rijeka, and I've decided last minute I will be going as my mythical alter ego - a good ole mermaid. 🧜♀️ I'll try to share some snippets of the carnival in my stories.

Croatia’s third-largest city, Rijeka is a bustling blend of gritty 20th-century port and Italianate Habsburg grandeur. Most people speed through en route to the islands or Dalmatia, but those who pause will discover charm, culture, good nightlife, intriguing festivals and Croatia’s most colourful carnival. Despite some regrettable architectural ventures in the outskirts, much of the centre is replete with ornate Austro-Hungarian–style buildings. It’s a surprisingly verdant city once you’ve left its concrete core, which contains Croatia’s largest port, with ships, cargo and cranes lining the waterfront. . #Croatia #Rijeka #Croazia #europeanbestdestinations #traveladdict #travelgram #cityscapephotography #citylights #citynight #seetheworld #visitrijeka #bridges #dronephotography #dronestagram #droneoftheday #Kroatien #wintervacation #winter . 📸: @vladfran.croatia (at Rijeka, Croatia) https://www.instagram.com/p/B73oD7bpzH4/?igshid=1567kvzdbg468

Carnival Capital of Croatia
Carnival Capital of Croatia
By Linda Tancs There’s good reason why Rijeka is the carnival capital of Croatia. Held between mid-January and Ash Wednesday, Rijeka Carnival blends culture, folklore and mythology with good old-fashioned partying, including pageants, street dances, concerts, masked balls, exhibitions and a parade. The International Carnival Parade on Feb. 26 is the crown jewel in the festivities. Be on the…
