Kill Jackie: Catherine Zeta-Jones Leads Prime Video Thriller Series

Acclaimed actress Catherine Zeta-Jones has been tapped to spearhead the suspenseful Amazon Prime Video series titled “Kill Jackie,” which is an adaptation of the popular novel “The Price You Pay” penned by renowned author Nick Harkaway.

What is Kill Jackie about?

Michelle Pfeiffer, who earned an Oscar for her role as a supporting actress in the 2002 film “Chicago,” is set to portray Jackie Price and also serve as an executive producer. Having indulged in luxury for two decades, marked by globe-trotting adventures, leveraging tax loopholes to maintain privacy, and fleeing from her former life as a high-profile drug trafficker, Jackie finds herself yearning for excitement. However, her search for thrill takes a risky turn when she stumbles upon “The Seven Demons.

In a nutshell, the Seven Demons – a formidable group of deadly assassins – have been contracted to eliminate Jackie. She suspects someone from her past is orchestrating this hit, so she chooses to rely on her innate abilities and eliminate each of the Demons before they can carry out their mission. However, Jackie soon realizes that her own internal struggles and hidden skeletons in her closet are far more fearsome, resulting in unexpected outcomes.

Jackie’s Demise was conceived and jointly penned by Conor Keane, who additionally takes on the role of an associate producer. Damon Thomas, renowned from Killing Eve, has been appointed as the primary director, while Tom Butterworth, known for Gangs of London, will assume responsibilities as writer and series manager.

As a passionate fan, I’d like to highlight that the executive producers for this project are Peter Lawson, Jose Augustin Valdes from Steel Springs Pictures, and Dante Di Loreto from Fremantle. Notably, José Luis Escolar’s Deabru Kalea Filmeak is overseeing production right here in Bizkaia, making it a truly local affair alongside Butterworth, Thomas, and Jeffrey Levine.

The upcoming thriller series titled “Kill Jackie” is being produced by Fremantle and Steel Springs Pictures. This action-packed show will be filmed in Bilbao, Lisbon, London, and Swansea. It’s set to premiere on Amazon Prime Video in the United Kingdom, Ireland, Netherlands, Turkey, Germany, Austria, Switzerland, Liechtenstein, Luxembourg, and Canada. Fremantle is responsible for international sales excluding the U.S., where Steel Springs Pictures will take the lead.

Zeta-Jones is recognized for her acting in movies like The Mask of Zorro, Intolerable Cruelty, Traffic, and The Terminal. More recently, she has taken on roles for television, including Feud: Bette vs. Joan, Prodigal Son, and will again play Morticia Addams in Wednesday Season 2.
