Best known for her Oscar-winning performance as Velma Kelly in the 2002 true crime musical, Chicago, Catherine Zeta-Jones remains one of the most crucial actresses in Hollywood history. Between 1998 and 2002 was an electric time for fans of Zeta-Jones’ work, as she starred in massive hits like The Mask of Zorro (co-starring Antonio Banderas), Entrapment (co-starring Sean Connery), and even Traffic (co-starring Michael Douglas and Benicio del Toro). Zeta-Jones never earned another Oscar nod following her breathtaking performance in Chicago, but she’s been steadily starring in other movies and TV shows in the last few years despite the lack of awards recognition. She has a key role as Morticia in one of the biggest Netflix shows of all time, Wednesday, which stars Jenna Ortega as the titular character, Wednesday Adams.
Catherine Zeta-Jones is always on the hunt for her next gigantic project, and she’s found another starring role in a show that could be one of the biggest of the year. Zeta-Jones will star opposite Daniel Ings, Bill Paterson, and Ron Perlman in the up-to-date revenge thriller show, Kill Jackie, which has officially landed global distribution thanks to AMC. The show will premiere on AMC+ this fall, as officially confirmed by a up-to-date press release from AMC today detailing the acquisition. In addition to starring in the leading role, Zeta-Jones also produces the show, which is based on the novel The Price You Pay by Nick Harkaway. The show was written and created for TV by Conor Keane and Tom Butterworth, and additional cast members include Sidse Babett Knudsen, Óscar Jaenada, Hattie Hook, Darci Shaw, Raff Law, Enzo Cilenti, Christine Adams, Tadashi Ito, and more. The first look at the series has also been released.

01
What gives your life its deepest sense of meaning? Every universe is built around a different answer to this question.
02
Which kind of world do you most want to inhabit? The environment shapes who you become. Choose carefully.
03
How do you prefer your conflicts resolved? The shape of a world’s conflicts tells you everything about its soul.
04
Who do you want beside you when things get complex? Your ideal companions reveal the world you were made for.
05
What is your relationship with power? How you seek, wield, or resist power is the map of who you are.
06
How does your universe treat good and evil? A world’s moral architecture tells you more about it than any map.

What do you ultimately believe about the future? The answer to this is the clearest window into which universe already lives inside you.
Your Universe Has Been Chosen You Belong In…
Your answers point to the iconic universe your values, your instincts, and your particular way of seeing the world were built for. This is where you would find your people — and your purpose.
A Galaxy Far, Far Away
Star Wars
You believe in the cause — in the idea that freedom is worth fighting for even when the odds are impossible and the empire is immense.
You are drawn to the moral clarity of a universe where hope itself is a form of resistance.
You’d find your people in the Rebellion — a ragtag coalition of true believers held together by conviction more than resources.
Star Wars is fundamentally a story about ordinary people choosing to matter in an extraordinary conflict — and that is exactly your kind of story.
The Force may or may not be with you. But the will to employ it for something larger than yourself certainly is.
Middle-earth
Lord of the Rings
You understand, in the deepest part of yourself, that the journey matters as much as the destination — and that the world’s beauty is worth protecting even at great cost.
Middle-earth is a world of age-old wonder, deep friendship, and a darkness that only retreats when enough compact acts of courage accumulate.
You would thrive here because you value the fellowship more than the glory — the road more than the arrival.
Tolkien’s universe rewards patience, loyalty, and the willingness to carry something weighty across a very long distance.
Those are not burdens to you. They are simply how you move through the world.
The Wizarding World
Harry Potter
You believe that love, loyalty, and doing what’s right are not naive sentiments — they are the most powerful forces in any world, magical or otherwise.
The Wizarding World is a place of wonder hidden in plain sight, where learning is transformative and the bonds you form at school follow you into every battle.
You would flourish here because you take both the magic and the friendships seriously — and you understand that one without the other is incomplete.
Harry Potter’s universe ultimately rewards those who choose to stand for something even when standing is terrifying.
That choice — made quietly, without guarantee — is something you understand completely.
Westeros · The Known World
Game of Thrones
You see the world clearly — its power structures, its hypocrisies, its brutal arithmetic — and you are not paralysed by that clarity. You employ it.
Westeros is a world that rewards intelligence, adaptability, and the willingness to understand that every alliance is also a negotiation.
You would survive here — possibly thrive here — because you don’t confuse the world as it is with the world as you’d like it to be.
Game of Thrones is a story about what happens when the idealists and the realists collide. You are edged enough to know which one lasts longer.
Winter always comes. You are already prepared.
The United Federation of Planets
Star Trek
You believe the future is worth building — that curiosity, cooperation, and the expansion of understanding are not just ideals but the most practical path forward for any civilisation.
Star Trek is a universe where the questions matter as much as the answers, and where encountering something utterly alien is cause for wonder rather than fear.
You would belong here because you are fundamentally bullish about what intelligence and decency can achieve — while being candid about how difficult that achievement is.
The Federation is the universe’s most ambitious thought experiment: what if we actually got better?
You don’t just hope that’s possible. You think it’s the only thing worth working toward.
What is ‘Kill Jackie’ About?

AMC has released an official synopsis for Kill Jackie, which reads as follows: “Kill Jackie follows Jackie Price (Zeta-Jones) who has spent the last twenty years living a quiet, luxurious existence selling fine art while remaining anonymous after escaping a criminal past. Her carefully constructed world is shattered when she discovers that The Seven Demons, a squad of ruthless assassins, have been hired to kill her. Jackie will need to unleash her old instincts and execute a dangerous plan to take down the Demons.” The show is the perfect mash-up of Killing Eve and John Wick, perfect for fans of gripping conspiracy thrillers with intense action. AMC+ is also home to some of the most popular TV shows in the world, including The Walking Dead, The Vampire Lestat, and The Terror: Devil in Silver, which was produced by Ridley Scott.
Stay tuned to Collider for more updates and coverage of Catherine Zeta-Jones’ up-to-date TV show, Kill Jackie, which launches on AMC+ this fall.
