Warner Bros. Discovery has secured the rights to distribute the thriller series “Kill Jackie” on HBO Max across nine European markets, including Spain, Portugal, and the Nordic countries. The acquisition covers territories where HBO’s streaming services maintain significant presence, with HBO Max positioned to become the second-largest streaming platform in Spain by year-end.
The eight-episode series, produced by Fremantle and Steel Spring Pictures, centers on a character portrayed by Catherine Zeta-Jones who transitions from drug dealing to art dealing. The narrative follows her as she becomes targeted by a deadly assassination squad known as The Seven Demons. Motivated by a tragic event, the character pursues a revenge campaign against the assassins, only to discover that her own past poses a greater threat than her pursuers, ultimately connecting to deeper family secrets.
Daniel Ings co-stars as a tax lawyer character who serves as a foil to Zeta-Jones’ protagonist and contributes comedic elements to the high-stakes narrative. The supporting cast includes Sidse Babett Knudsen and various other established actors. The creative team comprises writer Tom Butterworth and Conor Keane, with director Damon Thomas helming the project. The series adapts material from author Nick Harkaway’s novel “The Price You Pay.”
Production takes place in and around Bilbao, Spain, under the supervision of Deabru Kalea Filmeak. The series is designed to leverage the city’s architectural features, including its renowned Guggenheim Museum and contemporary urban landscape. With this agreement alongside previous sales to Prime Video and AMC+ in the United States, the series has secured distribution across major global territories.
