KILL JACKIE: CATHER ZETA-JONES TO LEAD CAST OF NEW PRIME VIDEO REVENGE THRILLER

Prime Video will launch revenge thriller, Kill Jackie (w/t), starring Oscar, BAFTA and Tony Award winning actress Catherine Zeta-Jones (Chicago, Wednesday), based on the acclaimed novel The Price You Pay by Sunday Times best-selling author Nick Harkaway, writing as Aidan Truhen (Karla’s Choice, Tigerman).

Zeta-Jones plays Jackie Price who has been living a luxurious existence for the last twenty years – travelling the world, selling fine art using sophisticated tax loopholes, and, above all, trying to stay anonymous after escaping a dangerous past as an international cocaine dealer.

But just as life starts to feel a little boring, it takes a sudden lethal turn 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 is behind it, Jackie unleashes her old instincts and embarks on a wild, dangerous game plan: to take down The Demons one by one before they kill her. However, she soon realises her own demons are much more terrifying than the ruthless killers on her trail… and her buried secrets ultimately lead her much closer to home, with surprising consequences.

Catherine Zeta-Jones said: “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.”

Hannah Blyth, Head of TV, Prime Video UK said: “Kill Jackie (w/t) is a thrilling series and we are excited to be working with Catherine Zeta-Jones and the incredible creative team to bring this story to life. With its bold storytelling, striking visual style, and unexpected twists, the series is set to captivate Prime Video audiences internationally - we can’t wait for them to experience it.”

Christian Vesper, CEO Global Drama & Film, Fremantle and Peter Lawson, Steel Springs Pictures said: “Kill Jackie (w/t) is an irreverent and contemporary thriller which is all at once dramatic, escapist and darkly comedic. Catherine Zeta-Jones shines as Jackie, and together with our incredible creative team, twisting storyline and elaborate international backdrop, I’ve no doubt audiences all over the world are going to be hooked.”

The series will begin production next month in Bilbao, Lisbon, London and Swansea. The 8-part series will be available on Prime Video in selected countries and regions across the world.
