Kill Jackie is a new thriller series starring Catherine Zeta-Jones as a woman who's desperate to escape her past. Based on the bestseller "The Price You Pay" by Nick Harkaway, writing as Aidan Truhen, the series follows Jackie Price, a former international cocaine dealer who for 20 years has traveled the world in a bid to stay anonymous. But then she discovers that a gang of the world’s most terrifying hitmen have been hired to kill her, so she vows to take them down, one by one, before they can do so.
“I’m thrilled to be a part of Kill Jackie both behind and in front of the camera,” says Catherine Zeta-Jones, who's also an executive producer on the series. “The opportunity to bring this multifaceted character to life, and explore a female driven plot that encompasses empowerment, identity, and redemption is something I’m looking forward to.”

Then, just as life starts to feel a little boring, Jackie learns that The Seven Demons, a squad of the most deadly hitmen on the planet, has been despatched to kill her. Jackie unleashes her old instincts and concocts a wild plan to kill them all before they can kill her. However, she soon realises her own demons are far scarier than those sent to murder her, and her buried secrets will lead her much closer to home.
