Starring and produced by Zeta-Jones and co-produced by Steel Springs Pictures and Fremantle, “Kill Jackie” will premiere this fall on AMC+ in the US.

Based on Nick Harkaway’s bestselling novel “The Price You Pay” (which he wrote under the pseudonym Aidan Truhen), the series follows Jackie Price (Zeta-Jones), “who has spent the last 20 years living a quiet, luxurious existence selling fine art while remaining anonymous after escaping a criminal past,” according to its official synopsis. “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 have to unleash her old instincts and execute a dangerous plan to take down the Demons.”

Along with Zeta-Jones, “Kill Jackie” stars Daniel Ings, Sidse Babett Knudsen, Bill Paterson, Ron Perlman, Óscar Jaenada, Hattie Hook, Darci Shaw, Raff Law, Enzo Cilenti, Christine Adams, Julian Rhind-Tutt, Karlis Arnolds Avots, Set Sjöstrand, Tadashi Ito, Sebastian Armesto, Julian Barratt, Gavin Spokes, Jonathan Cake and Bamshad Abedi-Amin.

“‘Kill Jackie’ is a notable addition to AMC+’s curated slate of premium scripted content and a great example of the bold, character-driven storytelling we’re known for,” Dan McDermott, chief content officer of AMC Global Media and president of AMC Studios, said in a statement. “Catherine Zeta-Jones commands the screen with a magnetic lead performance, and we are thrilled to be working with her and the entire production team to bring this dark, bold, comedic thriller to American audiences.”

Peter Lawson, founder of Steel Springs Pictures, added: “We are thrilled to partner with AMC Global Media to bring ‘Kill Jackie’ to US audiences. AMC has earned an exceptional reputation for championing bold, premium storytelling, making it the ideal home for this series. We couldn’t be more excited for viewers to experience ‘Kill Jackie’ on AMC+.”

In addition to Zeta-Jones, executive producers include Lawson and José Agustín Valdés for Steel Springs Pictures, as well as Butterworth and Thomas with Rebecca Dundon, Dante Di Loreto and Jeffrey Levine.
