What Caused the Big Delay?

Creative leadership changed from Ronan Bennett to David Harrower. This shift in writers led to production delays and a fresh take on the show’s tone.

The show is fiction but inspired by real 1960s events. Cold War plots and real missions add realism. The Jackal himself is not a real person.

What’s It Based On?

Try The Capture, Slow Horses, or Condor—spy shows with high stakes and gripping drama that help fill the gap until the Jackal returns.
