Peacock's spy thriller *The Day of the Jackal* continues to perform strongly in streaming charts, remaining a consistent fixture in the top 10 well over a year after its initial release, despite Season 2 not arriving until 2027. The show, based on Frederick Forsyth's novel and previously adapted as a 1973 film starring Edward Fox, is notable for having influenced Lee Child's Jack Reacher novels, giving it renewed appeal among fans of Prime Video's *Reacher* series as that franchise expands.

Peacock released the first season of *The Day of the Jackal* in full at the end of 2024, and its success led to a swift renewal, though the follow-up season has been confirmed for 2027. Meanwhile, *Reacher*, starring Alan Ritchson, has completed three seasons and already been renewed for a fifth ahead of Season 4's imminent premiere, with a spin-off titled *Neagley*, starring Maria Sten, due in September.
