Streamer Prime Video has announced an October 2 premiere date for the eight-episode thriller series “Kill Jackie,” featuring Catherine Zeta-Jones in the lead role. The series will release simultaneously across the United Kingdom, Ireland, Netherlands, Turkey, Germany, Austria, Switzerland, Liechtenstein, Luxembourg, and Canada on that date. In the United States, the program is set to air on AMC+ during the fall season, though a specific release date for that market has not yet been confirmed.
The production, developed by Fremantle and Steel Springs Pictures, adapts Nick Harkaway’s novel “The Price You Pay,” published under the author’s pseudonym Aidan Truhen. Zeta-Jones portrays a former international drug smuggler who has reinvented herself as an art dealer. Her character’s past resurfaces when she learns that an elite assassination unit known as The Seven Demons has been contracted to eliminate her, prompting her to pursue a preemptive strategy against the hired killers.
The ensemble cast includes Daniel Ings, Sidse Babett Knudsen, Bill Paterson, Ron Perlman, Óscar Jaenada, Hattie Hook, Darci Shaw, Raff Law, and others. The creative team comprises Conor Keane and Tom Butterworth, known for their work on “Gangs of London,” alongside Peter Lawson from the “John Wick” franchise and Damon Thomas, who has worked on “Killing Eve.” Thomas serves as lead director while Butterworth handles writing and showrunning duties. Harkaway participated as an executive consultant on the television adaptation.
