Catherine Zeta-Jones hunted in Kill Jackie trailer
Killing Jackie
When luxury meets lethal danger, you get a story worth watching. Catherine Zeta-Jones is stepping into the spotlight for a gripping new limited series on AMC+, Killing Jackie, a high-stakes thriller that promises to redefine the boundaries between opulent existence and deadly survival.
The series kicks off on October 2 and promises an intense eight-episode dive into the dark history of its protagonist, Jackie Price. For two decades, Jackie has enjoyed a life of travel, fine art, and anonymity, a carefully constructed façade that shields her from a dangerous past as an international drug smuggler. But when that carefully curated peace shatters, Jackie discovers she is not alone. A squad of the world’s most terrifying assassins, known as The Seven Demons, have been hired to hunt her down.
Faced with an imminent threat, Jackie must shed her refined exterior and unleash raw instincts to survive. Her mission becomes a perilous game plan: to take down the ruthless killers one by one before they can claim her life. As she navigates this dangerous chase, she soon realizes that the demons stalking her are far more terrifying than the criminals on her trail, forcing her to confront secrets buried deep within herself that lead her closer to home with shocking consequences.
This high-octane narrative is based on the acclaimed novel The Price You Pay by best-selling author Nick Harkaway, grounding the high-octane action in a complex, psychological framework. The production team is stacked with cinematic talent, featuring an impressive ensemble cast including Daniel Ings, Sidse Babett Knudsen, Óscar Jaenada, and Ron Perlman, among many other esteemed actors.
The series is a testament to quality storytelling, co-produced by Fremantle and Steel Springs Pictures. Key creative forces, including Tom Butterworth and Damon Thomas, ensure that the adaptation maintains a pulse-pounding pace while exploring the complex psychology of its characters. The resulting show is set to be a captivating blend of suspense, glamour, and intense personal reckoning.
