Catherine Zeta-Jones is Jackie (not that one) in new AMC Plus show

When you hear that an acclaimed actress is going to play Jackie, there’s probably a specific Jackie you have in mind. Hell, there was a whole movie just called Jackie where Natalie Portman played Jacqueline Kennedy. Naomi Watts just portrayed the former first lady (then Jacqueline Onassis) in Love Story, and Katie Holmes played her on TV. Catherine Zeta-Jones is a woman who seems like she could play Jackie, but alas, she is not. Well, she is, but she’s not playing Mrs. Kennedy. In fact, she’s leading Kill Jackie

The official synopsis for Kill Jackie is: 

Jackie Price (Zeta-Jones) has been living a luxurious existence for the last twenty years – travelling the world, selling fine art and, above all, trying to stay anonymous after escaping a dangerous past as an international drug smuggler. But just as life starts to feel a little boring, it takes a sudden lethal turn when she discovers that The Seven Demons, a squad of the world’s most terrifying hitmen, have been hired to kill her. Assuming someone from her past is behind it, Jackie unleashes her old instincts and embarks on a wild, dangerous game plan: to take down The Demons one by one before they kill her. However, she soon realizes her own demons are much more terrifying than the ruthless killers on her trail…and her buried secrets lead her closer to home, with surprising consequences.

Kill Jackie is based on the novel The Price You Pay by author Nick Harkaway, writing as Aidan Truhen and debuts on AMC+ on October 2. Along with the release date, AMC released some images and teaser art for the new series.
