The Day Of The Jackal star Ursula Corbero star has been sending fans wild with her racy social media snaps after revealing she was ‘confused’ by her ‘weak’ role

Ursula, 35, stars as Nuria in the drama series – the wife of Eddie Redmayne – and has been setting social media alight with her racy images 

Speaking about her new role, Ursula confessed at the London premiere that she had initially misunderstood her character. 

She shared: ‘I kind of fell in love with this character. At the beginning I was a little bit confused because it felt like she was a little bit weak.

‘But then, I remember, we started some rehearsals with Eddie and Brian and I just realised that was the arc of the character. It was very, very interesting for me.’

Pictures from the programme show Ursula and Eddie getting steamy as they get into character. 

In one part of the series, Jackal caresses his wife’s face while she is also seen gazing lovingly at him during happier times.  

There is a partially true story behind the reboot, based on Frederick Forsyth’s 1971 book of the same name.

The book the 10-part series is based on made comment on the political environment at the time of writing.

Eddie’s character The Jackal is professional ᴀssᴀssin who gets contracted by the OAS (Organisation armée secrete), which translates to ‘secret army organisation’ and was actually a real group.

In the original novel, the dissident parliamentary group planned to ᴀssᴀssinate the President of France at the time – Charles de Gaulle, which is also a real plot that unfolded.

The group’s motive was to stop Algeria from becoming independent from French rule, which was something the President was planning a referendum on in 1961. 

In the book, their initial attempts to ᴀssᴀssinate him were based on real life, however, everything that follows is fictional. 

The series is being made by Carnival Films and was commissioned by Sky Studios, who will then air the anticipated series across the UK and much of Europe, as well as US streaming service Peacock.

The Mirror also reports that the huge wage Eddie earned was the ‘highest ever paid to a star’, but that is now becoming the ‘norm’ when big money companies such as Netflix, Apple and in this case Peacock, are involved. 

A source said: ‘Many TV companies and broadcasters are struggling with budgets being squeezed but not with high-end drama for a global audience involving the streamers.

‘If you can do a deal with one of them, you can absolutely break the bank.’

It was adapted for the small screen by Ronan Bennett, the creator and writer of the critically acclaimed English crime drama Top Boy – and also starring are Guardians Of The Galaxy’s Chukwudi Iwuji and Game Of Thrones’ Charles Dance.

The Day Of The Jackal was directed by Brian Kirk whose credits include Game Of Thrones and Luther.

The series is produced by Carnival Films, which is part of Universal International Studios, a division of Universal Studio Group.

Eddie serves as an executive producer, Lashana as a co-executive producer, and author Frederick as the consulting producer.

Fellow executive producers Gareth Neame and Nigel Marchant, who both worked on Downton Abbey, spoke to GQ about the project.

Gareth said: ‘We both loved the book, and we saw the film when we were kids — I’ve seen the film many times through my life, and always really respected it.’ 

While they were at first cautious to tackle source material that carries with it such esteem, to expand the story across episodic TV seemed too good an opportunity to turn down.

‘It’s such an iconic, gripping story, that to revisit that in a contemporary context, with all the benefits of a multi-episodic show … we thought that would be really interesting to take this much-respected IP and develop it this way.’

Nigel agreed: ‘I think that [this] kind of тιтle is in so many people’s consciousness … And then yeah, what’s the benefit of telling this with a bigger canvas?’

Answering the main question of why the series is set in the 2020s as opposed to the ’60s of the book and the film, Gareth simply said: ‘If we’d stayed in the past, why do it? You can’t better the film.’

The Day of the Jackal premiered on Sky Atlantic and Now TV on Thursday 7 November
