- Featuring in an up-and-coming thriller television show
Catherine Zeta-Jones dives into a thrilling new role, taking center stage in the upcoming revenge series, tentatively titled "Kill Jackie." As Jackie Price, a former international cocaine dealer turned successful art dealer, she finds herself in the crosshairs of the Seven Demons, an infamous group of hitmen hired to eliminate her. With her past lurking in the shadows, Jackie decides to turn the tables, embarking on a dangerous mission to take out the assassins.
