- Prime Video will release all eight episodes of "Kill Jackie" on October 2 in the U.K., Ireland, Netherlands, Turkey, Germany, Austria, Switzerland, Liechtenstein, Luxembourg and Canada.
- AMC+ holds U.S. rights and will air the series this fall, though a specific premiere date has not yet been announced.
- Catherine Zeta-Jones stars as a former international drug smuggler turned art dealer who becomes the target of "The Seven Demons," a squad of hitmen, prompting her to take them down one by one.
- "Kill Jackie" is adapted from the novel "The Price You Pay" by Nick Harkaway, writing under the pseudonym Aidan Truhen, who served as an executive consultant on the series.
- Fremantle and Steel Springs Pictures co-produce the series, co-created by "Gangs of London" duo Conor Keane and Tom Butterworth alongside "John Wick" producer Peter Lawson and "Killing Eve" director Damon Thomas, who leads directing duties.
- The ensemble cast also includes Daniel Ings, Ron Perlman, Óscar Jaenada, Sidse Babett Knudsen, Bill Paterson, and Raff Law, with Zeta-Jones, Butterworth and Thomas among the executive producers.
Why it matters: The October 2 streaming drop in 10 international markets gives Prime Video a star-driven, internationally-cast thriller to anchor its fall slate, while the parallel AMC+ U.S. deal — with no date locked — creates a delayed, dual-platform rollout that tests cross-border distribution of a single title.
