The Day of the Jackal Cast Adds Game of Thrones & Money Heist Stars to Peacock Series

-

According to Variety, Peacock has enlisted nine new cast members to join Eddie Redmayne and Lashana Lynch in the upcoming series adaptation of The Day of the Jackal, based on Frederick Forsyth’s seminal thriller of the same name.

Úrsula Corberó (Money Heist), Charles Dance (Game of Thrones), Richard Dormer, Chukwudi Iwuji (Peacemaker), Lia Williams (The Crown), Khalid Abdalla (The Kite Runner), Eleanor Matsuura (The Walking Dead), Jonjo O’Neill (Bad Sisters) and Sule Rimi (Andor) have been tapped to portray the respective roles of Nuria, Timothy Winthrop, Norman, Osita Halcrow, Isabel Kirby, Ulle Dag Charles, Zina Jansone, Edward Carver and Paul Pullman.

Corberó’s Nuria is described as a woman who is familiar with the titular assassin in his personal life, but is unaware of his true identity.

What is The Day of the Jackal about?

“The series is a bold, modern reimagining of the beloved and respected novel and film,” reads the logline. “While staying true to the DNA of the original story, this contemporary drama will delve deeper into the chameleon-like ‘anti-hero’ at the heart of the story in a high octane, cinematic, globetrotting ‘cat and mouse’ thriller, set amidst the turbulent geo-political landscape of our time.”

The Day of the Jackal will be written by showrunner Ronan Bennett (Top Boy). Game of Thrones’ Brian Kirk attached to direct. In addition to starring, Redmayne has also boarded the project as an executive producer, along with Gareth Neame, Nigel Marchant, and Sam Hoyle. It is produced by Carnival Films and Sky Studios, with Forsyth serving as a consulting producer and Christopher Hall to produce.
