Fresh off its successful run in the United States, 'Kill Jackie' is now available to stream on Prime Video, featuring Catherine Zeta-Jones in a high-stakes thriller. The series, which debuted in the U.S. on October 2, quickly soared up the platform's charts, securing the second most-watched spot, trailing only behind 'Neagley'.
The show has garnered considerable attention for its gripping premise: Catherine Zeta-Jones portrays Jackie Price, a former international drug trafficker who has reinvented herself as an art dealer. Her carefully constructed new identity shatters when she is unmasked and pursued by a relentless team of assassins, described as 'psychopaths'. Directed by Conor Deane, 'Kill Jackie' is an adaptation of Aidan Truhen's acclaimed novel, 'The Price You Pay'.
Its U.S. performance has been particularly noteworthy, with the series dethroning the popular action-thriller 'Reacher', starring Alan Ritchson, in less than a week. 'Reacher' itself boasts a strong following, with viewers on AlloCiné rating it 4.1 out of 5, and a fifth season already announced. The immediate success of 'Kill Jackie' suggests a strong contender in the competitive streaming landscape.
For Catherine Zeta-Jones, 'Kill Jackie' marks another prominent return to television, a medium where she has increasingly focused her talents over the past decade. Her recent roles include the iconic Morticia Addams in 'Wednesday', Billie Pearce in 'National Treasure: Edge of History', Dr. Vivian Capshaw in 'Prodigal Son', Vicki Ellis in 'Queen America', and Olivia de Havilland in 'Feud'. In 'Kill Jackie', she is joined by a talented ensemble cast, including Daniel Ings, known for 'The Gentlemen', Sidse Babett Knudsen from 'Borgen', and Óscar Jaenada, who appeared in 'Rambo: Last Blood'.
As 'Kill Jackie' arrives for a wider audience, anticipation builds to see if it will replicate its U.S. triumph and potentially surpass other established hits on the platform.
