EXCLUSIVE: The Day of the Jackal seems to have been a sleeper hit for Peacock.
The Eddie Redmayne-led political thriller has now become the streamer’s most-watched new original drama series ever after 75 days of viewership, NBCUniversal says.
Apparently, the series has found success globally as well, becoming the biggest new series launch ever on Sky. As is typical, NBCU didn’t provide exact numbers, though it was previously revealed that the first episode reached 4.6M viewers on Sky alone in its first 28 days.
The Day of the Jackal did also debut as one of the top 10 streaming original dramas during its debut week in the U.S. on November 14, per Nielsen. However, it was under the 320M streaming minute threshold to make it onto Nielsen’s overall streaming originals list for that interval.
