This fall, Welsh actress Catherine Zeta-Jones is returning to TV after playing Morticia Addams in the wildly popular Netflix and Tim Burton series “Wednesday,” as she tops the revenge thriller series “Kill Jackie,” a new AMC+ show where she is being targeted by a group of skilled international hitmen called The Seven Demons. Thankfully, we now have a slew of stills from the show that give us a better idea of what to expect.
This new AMC+ project comes from the creatives behind “Killing Eve” and “Gangs of London,” as the eight-part series is co-produced by Fremantle and Steel Springs Pictures and co-created by Conor Keane, Tom Butterworth (“Gangs of London”), Peter Lawson (“John Wick”), and Damon Thomas (“Killing Eve”). Lawson and Jose Agustin Valdes for Steel Springs Pictures, Butterworth, Thomas, Zeta-Jones with Rebecca Dundon, Dante Di Loreto, and Jeffrey Levine head up the executive producer team. The lead director is Damon Thomas, with writer and showrunner Butterworth. Conor Keane (an associate producer) co-wrote the TV adaptation, and Nick Harkaway serves as executive consultant on the series.

“Kill Jackie” also boasts a very impressive and large supporting cast that features Daniel Ings (“A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms,” “The Gentlemen”), Sidse Babett Knudsen (“Prime Target,” “Borgen”), Óscar Jaenada (“Rambo V,” “Cantinflas”), Hattie Hook (“Of An Age”, “Ten Pound Poms”), Darci Shaw (“A Thousand Blows,” “This City is Ours”), Raff Law (“Masters of The Air,” “Triton”), Enzo Cilenti (“Black Mirror,” “The Crown”), Christine Adams (“Hijack,” “Malice”), Julian Rhind-Tutt (“Britannia,” “Napoleon”), Karlis Arnolds Avots (“Soviet Jeans,” “Lovable”), Set Sjöstrand (“The Wheel of Time,” “Valhalla”), Tadashi Ito (“Society of the Snow,” “The Platform 2”), Sebastian Armesto (“Gangs of London,” “A Small Light”), Julian Barratt (“The Mighty Boosh,” “The Great”), Gavin Spokes (“House of The Dragon,” “Slow Horses”), Jonathan Cake (“And Just Like That,” “Camping”), Bamshad Abedi-Amin (“A Town Called Malice,” “The Last Kingdom”), Bill Paterson (“Fleabag,” “Criminal Justice”) and Ron Perlman (“Hellboy,” “Drive”).
An official logline for the upcoming revenge thriller show as provided by AMC+:
Jackie Price (Zeta-Jones) has been living a luxurious existence for the last twenty years – traveling the world, selling fine art and, above all, trying to stay anonymous after escaping a dangerous past as an international drug smuggler. But 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.
Zeta-Jones, of course, is no stranger to this kind of genre project, having starred in films such as “Traffic,” “Entrapment,” the musical “Chicago,” playing a resourceful Interpol agent in “Ocean’s Twelve,” and the “Zorro” movies led by Antonio Banderas.
Check out that batch of new images from Zeta-Jones’ new AMC+ series “Killer Jackie” below, as the show debuts on October 2. We have to assume the next big promotional material will be a teaser trailer, so stay tuned.
