- "Kill Jackie" premieres Oct. 2 with all eight episodes dropping at once on Prime Video across the UK, Ireland, Netherlands, Turkey, Germany, Austria, Switzerland, Liechtenstein, Luxembourg and Canada
- AMC+ carries the series in the U.S. on the same Oct. 2 launch date, giving the show a day-and-date release across 11 territories
- Catherine Zeta-Jones stars as a former international drug smuggler turned art dealer targeted by The Seven Demons, a squad of elite hitmen, and also serves as an executive producer on the series
- The show adapts "The Price You Pay" by Nick Harkaway, who wrote the source novel under the pseudonym Aidan Truhen and served as an executive consultant on the adaptation
- Damon Thomas leads directing while Tom Butterworth writes and showruns, with co-creators Conor Keane and Peter Lawson pulling together teams from "Gangs of London," "John Wick" and "Killing Eve"
- The ensemble cast around Zeta-Jones includes Ron Perlman, Sidse Babett Knudsen, Daniel Ings, Bill Paterson, Óscar Jaenada, Hattie Hook, Darci Shaw, Raff Law and Enzo Cilenti
Why it matters: The Oct. 2 day-and-date launch gives the eight-episode series a simultaneous footprint across 11 territories on launch day, and Zeta-Jones pairing with the creative leads behind "Killing Eve" and "John Wick" positions the Fremantle/Steel Springs Pictures production as a prestige genre play for Amazon's international Prime Video slate.
