Two thrillers with literary antecedents — “Cross” on Prime Video and “The Day of the Jackal” on Peacock — premiere Thursday.

In Peacock’s thriller series, Eddie Redmayne is the titular assassin being chased by Bianca, a British intelligence officer played by Lashana Lynch.

The revelation arrives as part of a trove of never-before-released conversations unearthed in the three-part documentary series premiering on Peacock on Tuesday.

“The Day of the Jackal,” a 10-episode limited series written by Ronan Bennett that premieres Thursday on Peacock, is a contemporary reimagining of Frederick Forsyth’s 1971 novel and the 1973 film, directed by Fred Zinnemann.

In recent years, Milioti has been “incredibly grateful” that she’s gotten to work on projects she believes in — even if they haven’t found their audiences, like the short-lived Peacock series “The Resort” or Max’s surrealist dark comedy “Made for Love,” which has since been removed from the streaming platform.
