‘Kill Jackie’ to Slay on AMC+
'Kill Jackie' finds an American streaming home on AMC+.
The new Catherine Zeta-Jones vehicle Kill Jackie has finally landed an American streaming distributor. The series had been swimming around in development for a while before landing at Amazon Studios U.K. in early 2025, with Zeta-Jones attached to star; however, the first press release deliberately avoided saying the series would premiere on Amazon’s Prime Video in the U.S.
That Amazon hadn’t locked down release windows for itself on both sides of the pond, it seemed like the series might not find a home here, even with an A-list film star in the lead role. But with filming on the project now complete and plans for a U.K. release before the end of 2026 on the horizon, it’s a relief to see that AMC+ has picked it up.
Kill Jackie is an eight-part limited series adapted from Aidan Truhen’s The Price You Pay, with the novel’s protagonist, Jack Price, gender-swapped to “Jackie.” Billed as a “gonzo thriller,” the story is a globe-spanning epic, filmed in multiple European destinations, including Bilbao, Lisbon, London, and Zeta-Jones’ hometown of Swansea.
Here’s the series’ synopsis:
Kill Jackie follows Jackie Price who has spent the last twenty years living a quiet, luxurious existence selling fine art while remaining anonymous after escaping a criminal past. Her carefully constructed world is shattered when she discovers that The Seven Demons, a squad of ruthless assassins, have been hired to kill her. Jackie will need to unleash her old instincts and execute a dangerous plan to take down the Demons.
Zeta-Jones (Wednesday) stars as Jackie Price, alongside Daniel Ings (The Gentlemen), Bill Paterson (Fleabag), and Ron Perlman (The Capture).
The four are joined by an extensive cast that includes Sidse Babett Knudsen (Prime Target), Darci Shaw (A Thousand Blows), Raff Law (Masters of The Air), Hattie Hook (My Life Is Murder), Enzo Cilenti (The Crown), Christine Adams (Hijack), Julian Rhind-Tutt (Britannia), Sebastian Armesto (Gangs of London), Julian Barratt (The Great), and Gavin Spokes (Slow Horses).
The supporting cast includes Bamshad Abedi-Amin (The Last Kingdom), Set Sjöstrand (The Wheel of Time), Karlis Arnolds Avots (Soviet Jeans), Jonathan Cake (And Just Like That), Óscar Jaenada (Cantinflas), and Tadashi Ito (Society of the Snow).
Conor Keane created and co-wrote the TV adaptation with Tom Butterworth, who acts as showrunner. Directors Damon Thomas (Killing Eve) and Dawn Shadforth (I Hate Suzie) split helming duties across the series’ eight episodes. Butterworth is an executive producer alongside Thomas and Zeta-Jones, Dante Di Loreto, and Jeffrey Levine, with Keane as associate producer. Peter Lawson and José Augustin Valdes executive produce for Steel Springs. José Luis Escolar’s Deabru Kalea Filmeak is supervising production in Bizkaia.
Kill Jackie will premiere on AMC+ before the end of 2026.
