Using disguises and fake passports to carry off his latest hit, the cold-blooded Jackal (Redmayne) sparks a massive police operation across Europe to find him. But the chameleon-like hitman meets his match in Bianca (Lynch) as she refuses to back down in her cat-and-mouse chase, even as she leaves a trail of destruction in her wake and her law enforcement superiors look to call off the pursuit.

“I will find him. And I will kill him, myself,” Bianca insists at one point in the trailer as she looks to outsmart and take out the Jackal amid gunfire, explosions and car chases – only to land in the cunning killer’s rifle crosshairs.

The Peacock and Sky series is based on the Frederick Forsyth novel and award-winning 1973 film adaptation of the same name from Universal Pictures.
