You’ve seen Eddie Redmayne as a quirky, magical-creature-loving wizard in Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them. You’ve seen him as ALS-afflicted physicist Stephen Hawking in The Theory of Everything—a role for which he won the Oscar for Best Actor. Now, you can see him as a highly-trained, disguise-wielding assassin in Peacock’s new The Day of the Jackal series, the first five episodes of which are currently streaming. [time-brightcove not-tgx=”true”] Based on British author Frederick Forsyth’s best-selling 1971 novel of the same name, showrunner Ronan Bennett’s Day of the Jackal adaptation puts a modern spin on Forsyth’s 1963-set tale of a professional assassin hired to carry out a contract hit on French President Charles de Gaulle.
