“How do you do such appalling things and yet still keep people engaged?” he says of the remorseless assassin he plays in #Peacock’s thriller, a character he calls both meticulous and unraveling.

"Eddie Redmayne Reveals the Surprising Reason Behind Why 'The Day of the Jackal' Is His First TV Series"

Eddie Redmayne's major TV roles can be counted on one hand. The award-winning actor is best known for his work in films such as Les Misérables, The Danish Girl, and Fantastic Beasts. He has worked in film for decades, but he took on a TV role in last year's television adaptation of Frederick Forsyth's book, The Day of the Jackal. Playing the titular character, The Jackal, Redmayne swam in different waters than he was normally used to, bringing different aspects of the character to life. "This particular character just sang to me. I signed on after reading three episodes," the actor told Deadline about taking on a role in a different medium. "I helped produce, which was riveting in its own way," Redmayne continued.
"It's also a genre that I love. I've never had the opportunity to kind of play but also, as you [the interviewer] say, the character is an actor, so you get ... it's like an actor's playground, right? You get to do accents, you get to do languages, you get to do prosthetics, you get to do physical stuff. It's amazing," he added. However, the experience did not pass without challenges because The Jackal is known for changing any aspect to blend in, and that includes languages. "I don't speak a word of German . . . . I did it phonetically with this brilliant woman named Simone," Redmayne said, while speaking about some of the challenging aspects of the role.
Eddie Redmayne Will Be Back for 'The Day of the Jackal' Season 2.
Redmayne's efforts did not go to waste, as the show was a huge hit and earned a renewal soon after its premiere. Seventy-five days later, The Day of the Jackal Season 1 was crowned Peacock's most-watched original drama series in the streaming platform's history. Redmayne will once again disguise himself as The Jackal, who is on a more personal mission this time around. "There’s some serious bit of unfinished business,” executive producer Gareth Neame told The Hollywood Reporter while teasing Season 2's direction. "We actually know what his priority is, in terms of what his next mission will be. He’s trying to find [his family]. Whether he does or not, let’s see," he added, referencing the Season 1 finale that left The Jackal scrambling to locate his wife after she ran away.
"[We want fans] to root for it and wanting to come back, but without it being something that outstays its welcome and indeed loses its edge. We want to keep the show as surprising and edgy and twisty and turning as it’s been so far," Neame said while addressing the show's longevity issue.
Season 2 is yet to begin production.

‘The Day of the Jackal’ Star Eddie Redmayne on Tackling Iconic Characters, Loving ‘The White Lotus’ and the How Acting Is the Perfect Front for a Spy
May 16, 2025.
By Jenelle Riley, for Variety.
Though Eddie Redmayne currently stars in “The Day of the Jackal,” one of the most acclaimed new shows of the year, he still has time to check out other television programs – including the buzzy HBO hit “The White Lotus.” But the Oscar winner isn’t throwing his hat into the casting ring for an upcoming season.
“I’m too paranoid about butchering the things I love,” he tells Variety’s Awards Circuit Podcast. “There are some things you don’t want to see yourself in because you don’t want to ruin it.” Even the fact that the show shoots in beautiful locations isn’t enough to convince the actor. “You say that, but also you have to be topless for the entire thing. And if you’re pasty and moley like me…I just don’t think the world needs to see my pallid body.”
On this episode, Redmayne discusses what drew him to that Peacock series.
Listen below 👇🏻
"Jackal” has already netted Redmayne nominations from the Golden Globes, Critics Choice and SAG Awards. The spy thriller based on the Frederick Forsyth novel was previously adapted into a 1973 film starring Edward Fox as the titular assassin. Redmayne had grown up watching the film and, as previously noted, was hesitant to take on something he loved. But when he was sent the first three scripts by showrunner Ronan Bennett, he was quickly convinced.
The actor notes that having come up in the theater, he was somewhat accustomed to taking on roles previously played by others – such as in the film adaptation of “Les Misérables” or his recent, Olivier Award-winning, Tony-nominated turn as the Emcee in “Cabaret,” which he cites as the role that “got me into acting.”
In fact, recreating a role is part of a long tradition in the theater. “But that’s the same whenever you play Shakespeare part, you know?” he notes. “I did ‘Richard II’ at the Donmar Warehouse and there was literally the Richard II seat where all the other actors who had played Richard – Ian McKellan, Derek Jacobi, Ben Whishaw – would come and sit in the seat. It was always, ‘Oh Christ, there’s another icon!’”
Redmayne finds himself in that position now as a producer on “Cabaret,” which is continuing runs both on Broadway and the West End. He often returns to see the other actors, from Billy Porter to Mason Alexander Park.
“I’ve taken such joy going back and watching them all,” he said. “Seeing how every different Emcee and Sally brings their own individuality and own kind of charisma to the part.”
Redmayne himself garnered quite the response when he performed the opening number on last year’s Tony Awards, as viewers got the see the sinister, marionette-like Emcee in close-up. One comment referred to him as “my sleep paralysis demon,” which is a testament to how unsettling the character is supposed to be.
“I don’t know if that was meant to be taken as a positive, but I took it as a positive,” Redmayne reveals. “I saw him as a grotesque, and he’s meant to make you feel uncanny and uncomfortable. There was a sort of puppeteering quality to him – was he the puppet or was he the puppeteer?”
It was actually when Redmayne was doing “Cabaret” in London that “Jackal” came to him – and the timing was impeccable, as the actor had been toying with an idea for a series.
“One of the weird things about doing theater is every night, someone extraordinary would come and see the show – politicians or the Royal Family or actors – and you’d meet them,” he recalls. “And I thought, Wouldn’t it be interesting if you had a sort of actor who was sort of a spy, but living in plain sight? And had access to all these people. It was an idea that was germinating. And then this arrived.” Redmayne calls the role ‘an actor’s dream,” noting “all the stuff that we all love -getting to change your voice and do accents and do languages and change the way you look – it had everything.”
Of all the people who visited Redmayne backstage, he was most caught off guard by Janet Jackson coming to his dressing room, noting that he and the cast were “completely obsessed.” He adds, “I think she’s such an inspiring performer, and I just couldn’t get over the fact that she loved the show and kept coming back.”
