What to expect from the series?

Jackal is a hired hitman specializing in highly paid missions for assassination while being a pro in "infirmity," the art of changing into many disguises for the avoidance of capture. But things only get better from there when he crosses paths with a rather equally resolute British intelligence officer, Bianca, played by Lashana Lynch.

She starts the hunt for him and sets them off on an action-packed, hair-raising chase across Europe. Expect a gripping and suspenseful narrative with high-stakes action, as Eddie Redmayne's elusive assassin plays a deadly game of cat-and-mouse with Lashana Lynch's relentless MI6 agent.
