Prime Video has released a first look from the highly anticipated revenge thriller series Kill Jackie starring Oscar, BAFTA and Tony Award winning actress Catherine Zeta-Jones (Chicago, Wednesday), and based on the acclaimed novel The Price You Pay by Sunday Times best-selling author Nick Harkaway, writing as Aidan Truhen (Karla’s Choice, Tigerman).

The first look shot reveals Zeta-Jones as Jackie Price, the glamorous art dealer whose lethal past as an international drug smuggler resurfaces when a squad of the world’s most terrifying assassins, The Seven Demons, come after her.

The image gives audiences their first glimpse of the series’ striking style and high-octane world.

Jackie Price has been living a wealthy, luxurious existence for the last twenty years – travelling the world, selling fine art using sophisticated tax loopholes 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 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 ultimately lead her much closer to home, with surprising consequences.

Appearing alongside Zeta-Jones is Daniel Ings (The Gentlemen, I Hate Suzie, Lovesick), Sidse Babett Knudsen (Prime Target, Borgen), Óscar Jaenada (Rambo V, Cantinflas), Hattie Hook (Of An Age, Ten Pound Poms), Darci Shaw (A Thousand Blows, This City is Ours), Raff Law (Masters of The Air, Triton), Enzo Cilenti (Black Mirror, The Crown), Christine Adams (Hijack, Malice), Julian Rhind-Tutt (Britannia, Napoleon), Karlis Arnolds Avots (Soviet Jeans, Lovable), Set Sjöstrand (The Wheel of Time, Valhalla), Tadashi Ito (Society of the Snow, The Platform 2), Sebastian Armesto (Gangs of London, A Small Light), Julian Barratt (The Mighty Boosh, The Great), Gavin Spokes (House of The Dragon, Slow Horses), Jonathan Cake (And Just Like That, Camping), Bamshad Abedi-Amin (A Town Called Malice, The Last Kingdom), and Bill Paterson (Fleabag, Criminal Justice).

From the creatives behind Killing Eve and Gangs of London, Kill Jackie is an eight-part series co-produced by Fremantle and Steel Springs Pictures and co-created by Conor Keane, Tom Butterworth, Peter Lawson and Damon Thomas. The Executive Producers are Peter Lawson and Jose Augustin Valdes for Steel Springs Pictures, Tom Butterworth, Damon Thomas, Catherine Zeta-Jones with Dante Di Loreto and Jeffrey Levine. The lead Director is Damon Thomas (Killing Eve) with writer and showrunner Tom Butterworth (Gangs of London). Conor Keane co-wrote the TV adaptation and is associate producer.

The 20-year-old Singer-Songwriter from New York City has been fiddling around on GarageBand since elementary school and now is a major force to be reckoned with, providing the Soundtrack to the Summer with smash hits like “back to friends” and “undressed“. To date, his debut album “i barely know her” already has amassed 1.7 billion streams on Spotify alone – many of those coming from me!

My love connection with sombr‘s music came instantly a few months back, hearing “back to friends” on SiriusXM and I’ve been obsessed ever since. waiting eagerly for the physical release of his acclaimed, cohesive album, coming November 7, 2025 via Warner Music.

sombr played a sold-our show at The Phoenix tonight, giving the tenured venue a much-needed profile boost. In-town supporting him were his parents Andy and Bennah, whom he was spotted out and about with earlier in the day. The statuesque sombr took a moment for photos and autographs with fans – he is that carefree, cool, fun spirit we imagined through our many repeated plays of his music.

We’re so thrilled to have met this musical genius and cannot wait to see what’s next. Adore sombr!

Cirque du Soleil is celebrating the global spirit and excitement for FIFA World Cup 26™ with the return of LUZIA to Toronto, 10 years after its debut in 2016. Hailed by critics the world over, LUZIA is a delightful and visually-stunning creation that invites audiences to escape to an imaginary Mexico – a surreal world suspended between dreams and reality. LUZIA, the 38th production of Cirque du Soleil, seamlessly weaves tradition and modernity in a series of grand surprises and breathtaking acrobatic performances from mind-bending contortion to gravity-defying vertical pole jumping; and of course, in renowned Cirque du Soleil creativity – turning the beloved sport of football (soccer) into a high-energy act that mixes freestyle street dance with awe-inspiring ball manipulation.

LUZIA will be presented in Toronto, ON, from June 18 – August 3, 2026, bringing the iconic Big Top back to Lake Shore Blvd. W. Advance tickets are available now to Club Cirque members; membership is free to join via www.clubcirque.com, to receive exclusive benefits. Tickets go on sale for the general public beginning Tuesday, October 14, 10am ET, including a NEW – $15 Kids Days Ticket for children ages 2-16, on select shows (conditions apply). For details and additional offers, go to www.cirquedusoleil.com/luzia.

Water as a Source of Inspiration
Integrating the element of water inside the Big Top in LUZIA is a first for a Cirque du Soleil touring production. The stage floor has 94,657 hidden holes that allow water to drain into a 5,000-litre basin underneath the stage. The water reserve is constantly recycled and filtered during the entire run of show in each city; and maintained at a comfortable 39°C for the well-being of artists. LUZIA uses approximately 10,000 litres of water in total for its artistic and acrobatic scenes such as Cyr Wheel artists rolling and spinning under pouring rain, and a mesmerizing Aerial Straps act that sees an artist diving in and out of an ancient cenote (natural sinkhole) while a life-sized puppet jaguar curiously looks on.

Written and directed by Daniele Finzi Pasca, in association with Brigitte Poupart, LUZIA is a waking dream where light (“luz” in Spanish) quenches the spirit, and rain (“lluvia”) soothes the soul.

Following the Toronto run, LUZIA will continue its Canadian tour and head west to Vancouver, BC, from November 4 to December 15, 2026.
