Matt Bomer ("White Collar", "Magic Mike") has joined the second season of Peacock and Sky's spy thriller series "The Day of the Jackal". While Bomer's character details are being kept under wraps, it has been revealed that he will have a recurring role, and rumors even hint at a villainous role.
The second season has started production in Budapest. New additions to the cast also include Weruche Opia and Pablo Schreiber as series regulars. The show is based on the novel by Frederick Forsyth and the 1973 Universal movie, and it stars Eddie Redmayne as elusive assassin The Jackal.
The first season was nominated for two Golden Globes for Best Drama Series and Performance by a Male Actor (Redmayne). It launched as a Top 5 streaming original drama in the U.S. for its opening weekend, according to Nielsen, and logged a 28-day audience of 4.6 million in the UK, the largest ever for a new Sky series.
"The Day of the Jackal" is produced by Carnival Films, part of Universal International Studios, a division of Universal Studio Group, and is commissioned by Sky Studios and Peacock. Executive producers include Gareth Neame, Nigel Marchant and Marianne Buckland for Carnival Films, alongside Redmayne, writer David Harrower, director Brian Kirk, Sam Hoyle for Sky Studios, Sue Naegle, Ronan Bennett and Lis Steele.
