Daniel Ings (The Gentlemen, Lovesick) has joined Catherine Zeta-Jones in Amazon Prime Video series Kill Jackie (w/t).
Ings will star as Sam in the revenge thriller, Jackie’s (Zeta-Jones) buttoned-up lawyer and long-held crush. Based on the acclaimed novel The Price You Pay by best-selling author Nick Harkaway, Kill Jackie is adapted by Tom Butterworth (Gangs of London), who also serves as showrunner, and Conor Keane.
“Jackie Price has been living a wealthy, luxurious existence for the last 20 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 cocaine dealer,” a plot synopsis reads.
“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.”
As well as Ings, the show will star Sidse Babett Knudsen, Óscar Jaenada, Hattie Hook, Darci Shaw, Raff Law, Enzo Cilent, Christine Adams, Julian Rhind-Tutt, Karlis Arnolds Avots, Set Sjöstrand, Tadashi Ito, Sebastian Armesto, Julian Barratt, Gavin Spokes, Jonathan Cake, Bamshad Abedi-Amin and Bill Paterson.
