Catherine Zeta-Jones is set to headline Kill Jackie, a high-octane revenge thriller coming to Prime Video. The Oscar-winning actress returns to her hometown of Swansea for the series, which is based on The Price You Pay, the acclaimed novel by Nick Harkaway (written under the pseudonym Aidan Truhen).
Described as a darkly comedic thriller packed with nail-biting suspense, Kill Jackie promises a wild, electrifying ride—one that’s as stylish as it is ruthless.
Zeta-Jones stars as Jackie Price, a former international cocaine dealer who has spent two decades living under the radar. By day, she’s an elite art dealer, leveraging tax loopholes to stay out of trouble, but her peaceful existence comes crashing down when she learns that The Seven Demons—a notorious squad of elite assassins—have been hired to kill her.
Suspecting someone from her past is behind the hit, Jackie taps into her old, dangerous instincts, launching a lethal mission to eliminate the killers before they reach her. But as she hunts them down, she unearths a chilling truth: the real threat lies closer to home, forcing her to confront long-buried secrets with unexpected consequences.
“I’m thrilled to be a part of Kill Jackie, both behind and in front of the camera”, Zeta-Jones shared. “The opportunity to bring this multifaceted character to life, and explore a female-driven plot that encompasses empowerment, identity and redemption is something I’m looking forward to.”
As an executive producer, she joins Peter Lawson and Jose Augustin Valdes for Steel Springs Pictures, along with Dante Di Loreto for Fremantle. The series is created and co-written by Conor Keane, with Killing Eve director Damon Thomas at the helm and Gangs of London writer Tom Butterworth serving as showrunner.
The show will be shot in multiple locations across the United Kingdom and Europe, including Bilbao, Lisbon, Swansea, and London.
Set for premiere on Prime Video in several international markets, including the U.K, Germany, and Canada, Kill Jackie is shaping up to be one of the most captivating new thrillers of the year, blending high-stakes action, psychological depth, and an electrifying lead performance from Zeta-Jones.
