A British intelligence officer chases an elusive hitman who has her in his rifle crosshairs in the official teaser for the Peacock and Sky cat-and-mouse thriller to debut Nov. 7.

Hitting screens next month, here's the trailer for writer/EP Ronan Bennett's Eddie Redmayne and Lashana Lynch-starring The Day of the Jackal.

Peacock has dropped the new trailer for The Day of the Jackal, a TV series based on Frederick Forsyth’s iconic spy novel of the same name. The globe-trotting thriller stars Eddie Redmayne as an unrivalled and highly elusive assassin known only as the Jackal,

There is plenty of evidence of this in the trailer, where the cat-and-mouse chase between the Jackal (Redmayne's codename) and Lynch's Bianca sees them scaling down buildings, donning disguises, going against orders and lying to their loved ones.

Eddie Redmayne has played a doctor-slash-serial killer, a scientist, and now, an infamous assassin. Redmayne leads the latest "The Day of the Jackal" adaptation, with the Peacock series centering on his eponymous hit man.
