The Day of the Jackal finale will air this week, but if you want to be sneaky, you can watch Episode 10 early with a simple trick.
Based on Frederick Forsyth’s iconic novel (which famously inspired the 1973 movie of the same name), Sky and Peacock’s big-budget TV show follows Alexander Duggan (Eddie Redmayne), aka the Jackal, an expert assassin who murders a politician.
This kicks off a cat-and-mouse chase between him and Bianca, an MI6 agent who pursues him across the globe.
The binge-worthy series has been an extraordinary success, and with just two episodes left, viewers will be desperate to see how it ends – well, I can help you get one step closer.
The Day of the Jackal Episode 10 release date and time
The Day of the Jackal Episode 9 will premiere on Peacock on December 12 at 12am PT/3am ET.
Here’s the good news: the finale is dropping at the same time, so you can binge Episodes 9 and 10 back to back. We’ve also listed other time zones below, so you know when to tune in if you’re abroad with a Peacock subscription:
- 4am Brazil
- 8am UK
- 9am Central European Summer Time
- 12:30pm India Standard Time
- 5pm Australia
- 7pm New Zealand
How to watch The Day of the Jackal Episode 10 early
You need two things to watch The Day of the Jackal Episode 10 early: a VPN and a free trial for Now TV.
Here’s the thing: Peacock may have the US rights to the series, but it’s a Sky Originals production, so it premiered in the UK first before dropping on the streaming service. For example, Episodes 1-5 were first available on November 7 across the pond before they came to Peacock on November 14.

The finale airs a few hours earlier in the UK, and if you’re in North America, you can watch it at the same time. Firstly, get a VPN and change your location to anywhere in the UK.
Secondly, sign up for a free trial of Now TV’s entertainment membership. That will give you access to every Sky Original, including Day of the Jackal, and Sky Atlantic live.
Thirdly, tune in for Day of the Jackal Episode 10 at 6pm PT/9pm ET on December 11.
It’s that easy. Here’s another tip: hold onto that Now TV subscription, because the 10th and final episode will be available slightly earlier compared to Peacock.
