Catherine Zeta-Jones‘ Kill Jackie series has its premiere date. The Oscar, BAFTA, and Tony Award-winning actor stars as a former international drug smuggler and art dealer who’s thrown back into her dangerous past life in the eight-episode series, which will come out on AMC+ in the United States this October. (It’s also part of AMC+’s New York Comic Con 2026 lineup.)
Kill Jackie is 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), and it also stars A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms‘ Daniel Ings, Ron Perlman, and more.
Here’s everything you need to know.
What is Kill Jackie about?
AMC+
From the creatives behind Killing Eve and Gangs of London, Kill Jackie is an eight-episode revenge thriller about Jackie Price (Zeta-Jones), who has been living a luxurious existence for the last 20 years, traveling the world, selling fine art, and, above all, trying to stay anonymous after escaping a dangerous past as an international drug smuggler.
Just as life starts to feel a little boring, it takes a sudden lethal turn when she discovers that 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 realizes her own demons are much more terrifying than the ruthless killers on her trail…and her buried secrets lead her closer to home, with surprising consequences.
When does Kill Jackie premiere?
