***Warning! Spoilers for the Day of the Jackal finale below***<\/p>\n

Viewers have slammed a decision to air the trailer for the next season of a series during its finale.<\/p>\n

The British political thriller<\/a> The Day of the Jackal<\/a> stars Eddie Redmayne<\/a> as the titular character, described as an \u2018unrivalled and highly elusive lone assassin who makes his living carrying out hits for the highest fee\u2019.<\/p>\n

However, he faces a rival in British intelligence officer Bianca (Lashana), who began a \u2018thrilling cat-and-mouse chase across Europe, leaving destruction in its wake\u2019 when trying to track him down.<\/p>\n

Based on 1971 book<\/a> by Frederick Forsyth, the 10-episode series was dubbed by some as \u2018the best of the year\u2019<\/a>, with the finale airing this week.<\/p>\n

However, some fans have been left shocked after both a major character was killed off and the trailer for season 2<\/a> \u2018spoiled\u2019 another major plot point.<\/p>\n

In the final episode, Bianca closes in on the Jackal\u2019s secret family home in Spain and appears to have gained the upper hand however after he manages to hide in a secret room he then re-emerges and in shocking scenes, shoots and kills her.<\/p>\n

The final moments showed her being hit in the chest by a bullet and dropping to the ground, with blood then seen trickling out of her mouth while he watches on.<\/p>\n

Although some were heartbroken at Bianca\u2019s \u2018brutal\u2019 demise, others said the jaw-dropping twist had them glued to their screens.<\/p>\n

\u2018Damn! They done did Bianca dirty in The Day of Jackal episode finale,\u2019 Zek posted on X.<\/p>\n

\u2018I didn\u2019t see that ending coming in The Day of the Jackal. I never expected Bianca to be crippled like that. Nevertheless, it was a great show with a fantastic ending. I would give it a 9\/10. Season 2 is going to be great, obviously,\u2019 Flotee_ shared.<\/p>\n

\u2018Didn\u2019t expect this ending from The Day of the Jackal. 10\/10 I must say,\u2019 Quado added.<\/p>\n

Many others said the ending \u2018caught them off guard\u2019 and they were \u2018still processing\u2019 what unfolded.<\/p>\n

But the decision to air the trailer for season 2 frustrated many tuning in, as it revealed the Jackal was still alive despite the finale teasing he might die.<\/p>\n

\u2018Whoever it was at @skytv who decided to put a MASSIVE spoiler bedded into the middle ad break of the finale episode of Day of the Jackal needs a serious meeting with their line manager. Brilliant series, destroyed ending!\u2019 MrMacKenzieVer1 fumed.<\/p>\n

\u2018Who in @skytv decided to put a massive spoiler into the ad break of the season finale Day of the Jackal needs to be the Jackal’s next target. FFS! Ruined what otherwise was a great episode,\u2019 mckennaniall posted.<\/p>\n

the 1973 film adaptation, it was the Jackal who was the one who died, leaving fans of the source material even more shocked.<\/p>\n<p>Speaking about the twist, Eddie told <a

reading the script.<\/p>\n<p>\u2018I knew it was coming because I’d been told it was before I read it. It’s so shocking in the movie, because the Jackal’s killed like that, and he’s gone.
