AMC acquires U.S. rights to “Kill Jackie,” a thriller series starring and executive produced by Catherine Zeta-Jones. The project is described as a revenge-focused story and is set to premiere this fall on AMC+. Variety reports that AMC Global Media secures the rights for the U.S., while Deadline notes AMC’s streamer has obtained exclusive rights for the show. “Kill Jackie” is based on a prior thriller work, with both outlets linking the series to “The Price You Pay,” though they cite different credited authors for the source material. Deadline describes it as an adaptation of Aidan Truhen’s “The Price You Pay,” while Variety says it is based on Nick Harkaway’s bestselling novel “The Price You Pay.”
The series also involves multiple production entities. Deadline states Zeta-Jones exec produces the project, and Variety adds that it is co-produced by Steel Springs Pictures and Fremantle. Co-starring talent is also referenced: Deadline names Daniel Ings as Zeta-Jones’ co-star. Both outlets frame the acquisition as part of AMC+’s broader slate and set the release for this fall.
