Catherine Zeta-Jones is Jackie (not that one) in new AMC Plus show
Kill Jackie comes to the streaming service in October.
Amidst the buzz that an accomplished actress will portray Jackie, the identity of the particular Jackie often comes to mind. Jacqueline Kennedy’s story has already been depicted in the film Jackie with Natalie Portman, and Naomi Watts portrayed her in Love Story, while Katie Holmes played her on television. Catherine Zeta-Jones, an actress who bears resemblance to Jackie, is not cast as Mrs. Kennedy in this instance.
However, she does star in Kill Jackie. The series synopsis reveals that Jackie Price, played by Zeta-Jones, has been living a lavish lifestyle for two decades, traveling the globe, selling fine art, and attempting to remain inconspicuous after escaping a perilous past as an international drug smuggler. Life takes an unexpected turn when she learns that The Seven Demons, a group of highly skilled and lethal hitmen, have been hired to assassinate her.
Assuming a member of her past is responsible, Jackie taps into her former skills and embarks on a perilous mission to eliminate The Demons one by one before they eliminate her. However, she soon discovers that her personal demons are far more menacing than the ruthless assassins pursuing her. Unbeknownst to her, her hidden secrets draw her closer to home, resulting in unforeseen consequences.
Kill Jackie is adapted from the novel The Price You Pay by author Nick Harkaway, writing under the pseudonym Aidan Truhen, and premieres on AMC+ on October 2. The network unveiled promotional images and teaser art for the upcoming series.
