Catherine Zeta-Jones's new revenge thriller Kill Jackie will debut on Prime Video on October 2, with all eight episodes dropping at once across the UK, Ireland, Canada, and several European countries. Deadline reports that AMC+ holds exclusive U.S. rights, though an American premiere date has not yet been set.
The show follows Jackie Price, a former international drug smuggler who reinvented herself as an art dealer — until a group of seven elite assassins is hired to kill her. Zeta-Jones stars and also serves as an executive producer on the project.
Jackie Price's Dark Past Drives the Story
Kill Jackie is based on Nick Harkaway's novel The Price You Pay, published under his pen name Aidan Truhen. Harkaway serves as executive consultant on the adaptation, according to Deadline. The story centers on Jackie Price, who buried her criminal past to build a new life. That life unravels fast when The Seven Demons — a team of deadly professional hitmen — come for her.
Rather than run, Jackie fights back. Verge Magazine describes the series as a "revenge thriller" built around Jackie's buried secrets and her battle to take down each assassin. The eight-episode run is designed to tell a complete story with a globally synchronized launch.
Killing Eve and Gangs of London Team Behind the Camera
Kill Jackie is co-created by Conor Keane and Tom Butterworth, the duo behind Killing Eve and Gangs of London. Butterworth also serves as writer and showrunner. Peter Lawson and Damon Thomas round out the creative team, with Thomas directing as the lead director across the series.
Production is a collaboration between Fremantle and Steel Springs Pictures. Movie Web notes that Zeta-Jones joins a cast that includes Daniel Ings, Raff Law, Christine Adams, and Jonathan Cake. Zeta-Jones won an Oscar for Chicago in 2003 and has since built a strong TV presence, including her role in Wednesday on Netflix.
Prime Video Gets Europe, AMC+ Owns the US
Prime Video will carry Kill Jackie starting October 2 in ten territories: the UK, Ireland, the Netherlands, Turkey, Germany, Austria, Switzerland, Liechtenstein, Luxembourg, and Canada. All eight episodes will be available on day one, according to Verge Magazine.
The U.S. is a different story. AMC+ has locked in exclusive American rights, but a premiere date has not been announced. Deadline says the date will be confirmed later, while Yahoo notes a fall timeframe has been mentioned. American fans may have to wait weeks after the October 2 global launch.
First Teaser Art Signals a Sleek, High-Stakes Thriller
Prime Video released first teaser art alongside the October 2 premiere announcement. Verge Magazine calls Kill Jackie "highly anticipated" and highlights the show's blend of action, dark secrets, and personal revenge as its core appeal.
The series marks a major original investment from AMC Global Media, which is betting on Zeta-Jones's star power to drive subscribers across two platforms in two major markets. With the creative team behind two acclaimed crime shows already in place, Kill Jackie arrives with real expectations to meet.
