Zeta-Jones Plays Fugitive Smuggler in New Action Series for Prime Video and AMC+
Catherine Zeta-Jones stars as Jackie Price, a former drug smuggler who flees from a team of elite assassins called The Seven Demons in the upcoming series 'Kill Jackie.' The first trailer depicts her using hidden weapons and includes a visual homage to the film '28 Days Later.' The show is slated for release on Prime Video and AMC+, though the exact premiere date was not specified in the announcement.
The trailer showcases Zeta-Jones in multiple action set pieces, including a sequence where she neutralizes intruders using firearms concealed within wall art and another where she pilots a private plane. The Westminster Bridge scene, featuring the actress in hospital attire, deliberately echoes the iconic opening of Danny Boyle's 2002 zombie thriller, signaling the series' tonal ambition.
"Kill Jackie" marks a notable streaming partnership between Prime Video and AMC+, continuing a trend of co-produced action programming designed to reach subscribers across both platforms. While the announcement confirms the project's existence and reveals its premise, viewers are still awaiting a concrete premiere date before the series enters the crowded streaming marketplace.
This series may appeal to audiences seeking high-octane female-led action fare, a growing niche in streaming entertainment. The dual-platform release could expand Zeta-Jones's reach to different subscriber bases, potentially revitalizing her profile among younger viewers. However, the crowded action genre means the show must distinguish itself beyond its star power and trailer gimmicks to sustain audience engagement across multiple episodes.
