Zeta-Jones Leads Amazon’s “Kill Jackie” Series

Catherine Zeta-Jones is set to star in and executive produce Amazon Prime’s revenge thriller series “Kill Jackie” produced by Fremantle and Steel Springs Pictures.

Zeta-Jones will portray Jackie Price, an ex-international cocaine dealer who escaped her dangerous past and has for twenty years stayed anonymous and lived a luxurious existence selling fine art pieces using sophisticated tax loopholes.

Her life is upended when she discovers The Seven Demons, a squad of the world’s most terrifying hitmen, have been hired to kill her.

Assuming someone from her past issued the contract, Jackie embarks on a dangerous plan: to take down The Demons one by one before they kill her.

She soon realizes her own personal demons are much more terrifying than the ruthless killers on her trail… and her buried secrets lead her much closer to home, with surprising consequences. In a statement, the “Chicago” and “Entrapment” actress says:

“I’m thrilled to be a part of ‘Kill Jackie’ (w/t) both behind and in front of the camera. 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.”

The show is based on Aidan Truhen’s novel “The Price You Pay” and filming begins in March in Bilbao, Lisbon, London and Swansea.

The series was created and co-written by Conor Keane, Tom Butterworth (“Gangs of London”) is the writer and showrunner, and Damon Thomas (“Killing Eve”) will serve as lead director.
