Acclaimed Novelist's Thriller Series Starring Catherine Zeta-Jones Heads to Prime Video

According to a report published on October 6, 2025, acclaimed director Ridley Scott has expressed his disappointment with the state of modern cinema, stating that most new movies are "shit" and that he often finds himself rewatching his own films instead.

In a separate development, Prime Video, Fremantle, and Steel Springs Pictures have just wrapped production on an upcoming thriller series titled "Kill Jackie", set to launch next year. The series is based on the acclaimed novel "The Price You Pay" by bestselling author Nick Harkaway, writing under the pseudonym Aidan Truhen.

The show stars Oscar winner Catherine Zeta-Jones as Jackie Price, a former international drug smuggler who has been living a luxurious life as an art dealer for the past 20 years. However, her past comes back to haunt her when she discovers that a squad of the world's most terrifying hitmen, known as "The Seven Demons", have been hired to kill her. Determined to take them down before they can get to her, Jackie unleashes her old instincts and embarks on a dangerous game of revenge.

The eight-part series also features a talented ensemble cast, including Daniel Ings, Sidse Babett Knudsen, Óscar Jaenada, and many others. "Kill Jackie" is co-produced by Fremantle and Steel Springs Pictures and was co-created by Conor Keane, Tom Butterworth, Peter Lawson, and Damon Thomas.
