Catherine Zeta-Jones will Kill Jackie for Prime Video, Amazon has announced.

The revenge thriller is based on the acclaimed novel by Nick Harkaway, writing as Aidan Truhen (Karla’s Choice, Tigerman).

The 8-part series will see Zeta-Jones play Jackie Price, who has been living a luxurious existence for the last 20 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 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 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.”

Kill Jackie is co-produced by Fremantle and Steel Springs Pictures. The Executive Producers are Peter Lawson and Jose Augustin Valdes for Steel Springs Pictures, Dante Di Loreto for Fremantle, Jeffrey Levine, Tom Butterworth, Damon Thomas and Catherine Zeta-Jones. The lead Director is Damon Thomas (Killing Eve) with writer and showrunner Tom Butterworth (Gangs of London). Conor Keane created and co-wrote the TV adaptation and is associate producer.

The series will be available to Prime Video customers in the UK, Ireland, Netherlands, Turkey, Germany, Austria, Switzerland, Liechtenstein, Alto Adige, Luxembourg and Canada in 2026. Filming will begin next month in Bilbao, Lisbon, London and Swansea.
