Catherine Zeta-Jones is set to captivate audiences in the upcoming thriller series "Kill Jackie," premiering October 2 on Amazon Prime. In a role that marks a significant personal and professional milestone, the acclaimed actress will be using her natural Swansea accent, a departure from her previous roles that often required her to adopt different speech patterns.
Fans have already expressed excitement over the series, with one commenting on a trailer post, "her Welsh is out and I love it, can't wait." Zeta-Jones herself has spoken about her anticipation for the project, noting her desire to explore a plot centered on female empowerment, identity, and redemption.
The series is based on the novel "The Price You Pay" by Nick Harkaway, writing under the pseudonym Aidan Truhen. "Kill Jackie" boasts a notable cast and crew, including Damon Thomas of "Killing Eve" and writer-showrunner Tom Butterworth, known for "Gangs Of London." Filming locations spanned across Bilbao, Lisbon, and London.
Zeta-Jones, whose extensive filmography includes iconic roles such as Morticia Addams in Netflix's "Wednesday" and an Oscar-winning performance in "Chicago," has consistently highlighted her deep connection to her Welsh heritage. She has often expressed that in her heart, she has "never really left" Wales, underscoring the significance of this role for her.
