There's something irresistible about a woman who refuses to back down, and Catherine Zeta-Jones has built a career on exactly that. From outsmarting criminals and slinking under laser beams to making murder look effortlessly chic, she's always brought a certain flair to her roles. But in Kill Jackie, she's taking on her most dangerous character yet: a former drug smuggler who discovers that the world's deadliest assassins have been hired to end her life. Rather than wait around to be taken out, she decides to strike first.
The series follows Jackie Price, who has spent the last two decades living a life of luxury—jet-setting across the globe, dealing in fine art, and keeping a low profile after escaping her past as an international drug smuggler. But her quiet existence is shattered when she learns that The Seven Demons, a group of the most feared hitmen on the planet, have been contracted to kill her. Convinced that someone from her old life is behind the contract, Jackie taps into her dormant instincts and launches a bold, dangerous counterattack: eliminating The Demons one by one before they can get to her. Along the way, she discovers that the demons she's been running from are far more terrifying than the killers on her trail, and the secrets she's buried lead her closer to home than she ever expected.
In our exclusive sneak peek at Kill Jackie Episode 4, the pressure is mounting on The Seven Demons. The episode, which premieres Friday, October 23, promises another dangerous twist as Jackie's carefully laid plans begin to unravel. The official synopsis teases that "Jackie's plans take a catastrophic turn," and the clip shows the tension rising as the assassins close in.
The eight-part thriller boasts an impressive ensemble cast led by Zeta-Jones (Wednesday), alongside Daniel Ings (The Gentlemen), Sidse Babett Knudsen (Borgen), Óscar Jaenada (Rambo: Last Blood), Hattie Hook (Of an Age), Darci Shaw (A Thousand Blows), Raff Law (Masters of the Air), Enzo Cilenti (Black Mirror), Christine Adams (Hijack), and Ron Perlman (Hellboy).
Behind the scenes, the series comes from the creative minds behind Killing Eve and Gangs of London, with Tom Butterworth serving as writer and showrunner and Damon Thomas directing. Butterworth and Thomas co-created the adaptation alongside Conor Keane and Peter Lawson, with Zeta-Jones also executive producing.
