Warner Bros. Discovery has acquired revenge thriller “Kill Jackie,” starring Catherine Zeta-Jones, for HBO Max in Spain, Portugal, Sweden, Denmark, Norway, Finland, Iceland, France and Belgium.
The deal takes in two of HBO’s most established streaming markets, the Nordics and Spain, where SVOD services HBO Nordics and HBO España launched as far back as 2012 and 2016 with HBO Max set to pass Prime Video to become the second largest streamer in Spain by the end of 2026, according to Ampere Analysis.
Produced by Fremantle, which handles all international distribution outside the U.S., and Steel Spring Pictures, the eight-part series is scheduled to debut in 2026. “Kill Jackie” looks set to give Zeta-Jones, an Oscar, Bafta and Tony Award winner (“Chicago,” “Wednesday”), as she has recognised, a “multifaceted” role encompassing “empowerment, identity and redemption.”
Zeta-Jones plays a drug dealer turned glamorous art dealer whose past suddenly caches up with her as she becomes the target of The Seven Demons, a hit squad of the world’s most terrifying assassins.
When a tragic event makes her hell-bent for revenge, Jackie determines to take out the Demons one by one, unleashing her old killer instincts. “However, she soon realises her own demons are much more terrifying than the ruthless killers on her trail…and her buried secrets ultimately lead her much closer to home, with surprising consequences,” the synopsis runs.
