Prime Video finally released the first look of Kill Jackie, and Catherine Zeta-Jones is once again stealing the show. She looks like a graceful and enigmatic woman in the image, which is the ideal combination of a femme fatale. Zeta-Jones stars in the role of Jackie, an art dealer who appears polished and well-dressed, but beneath her calm and cool disposition, hides a dark past.

Kill Jackie is not merely a fairy tale about exquisite galleries. Jackie was a global smuggler once, and her past life is back to haunt her. A team of dangerous people is after her, which prepares what appears to be a combination of vengeance, secrets, and action.

The initial glance, as posted by Variety, suggests a glamour-filled, mysterious, aesthetic thriller that is full of high-stakes drama, the type of TV show that fans enjoy binge-watching.


Catherine Zeta-Jones as Jackie Price in Kill Jackie

The first look at Kill Jackie makes us acquainted with Jackie Price, a woman of contradictions. She is an experienced, well-travelled art dealer on the outside, with a glamorous life. However, behind that smooth facade, there is also another history, one that is associated with dangerous liaisons that she would prefer to forget. Jackie has spent nearly two decades leading a normal life, enjoying her wealth in relative anonymity.

That peace doesn’t last. She is forced into a life-and-death struggle against a lethal gang called The Seven Demons, which was sent to murder her. What ensues is a tense game of survival, part action thriller, part moral drama, in which there is little trust and boundaries between good and bad are increasingly blurred.

The initial photographs foreshadow the stylish yet gritty nature of the show. Look forward to polished, trendy scenes with smoky bars, sleek interiors, and high-end clothes that will collide with scenes of violence and tension. Kill Jackie is poised to deliver both beauty and bite.


Cast and crew of Kill Jackie

Kill Jackie is not an individual work. Prime Video is collaborating with Fremantle and Steel Springs Pictures production companies to develop a series that imparts a breathtaking cinematic experience. Kill Jackie is going to be a globe-trotting, high-stakes thriller that is based on the novel The Price You Pay by Nick Harkaway (writing as Aidan Truhen).

The cast is expanding: Daniel Ings came on board earlier this year, and there is a combination of famous European actors and new faces, building an international ensemble. There are also experienced directors and showrunners leading the team, who have worked on female-led intense dramas before. This implies that the show will be character-driven, and suspenseful instead of mere action-packed scenes.

If you are a fan of stylish revenge thrillers featuring a good lead performance, it appears that Kill Jackie has all the right ingredients. The initial pictures give us the impression that this might be a show that seeks to be not just a visual spectacle but also one that is crisp and sharp. The luxurious lifestyle of the main character preconditions the excellent contrast between abrupt violence, betrayals, and moral turns.

Shooting in places like Biscay and other European locations offers thrilling, world-travelling backgrounds that make the narrative fresh and grand in scale. The show is based on a pulpy novel, produced by creators who have experience working on sharp female-centric tales, and features both familiar faces and fresh ones.

Although the exact release date is still unknown, probably in the year 2026, the first look hints that Kill Jackie is going to be a must-watch for those who are fond of smart, femme-fatale tales with an edge.
