Lashana Lynch also stars in the 10-episode thriller about a professional assassin and the intelligence officer chasing him, adapted from Frederick Forsyth's 1971 novel.

The actor stars in Peacock’s gripping 10-part adaptation of the 1971 bestseller about an assassin, who in this telling is hired to kill a tech billionaire.

Prime Video's "Cross" and Peacock's "The Day of the Jackal," premiering Thursday, are cat-and-mouse stories, though exactly who is the cat and who the mouse is a revolving situation.
