A familiar face from Guy Ritchie’s The Gentlemen has just joined the cast of an upcoming Prime Video thriller starring another one of Netflix’s biggest stars.
Daniel Ings, who portrays Freddy Horniman in the epic crime-comedy opposite Theo James, is the latest to join the rival streamer’s UK Original Kill Jackie.
Oscar-winning star Catherine Zeta-Jones leads the A-list cast of the thriller as the eponymous Jackie.
A synopsis for the upcoming series reads: “Zeta-Jones plays Jackie Price who 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 cocaine dealer.
TV lovers can get 30 days’ free access to binge tantalising TV like The Handmaid’s Tale and The Rings of Power by signing up to Amazon Prime. Just remember to cancel at the end and you won’t be charged.
“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.”
Zeta-Jones recently dazzled Netflix subscribers with her turn as Morticia Addams opposite Jenna Ortega in Wednesday.
She’ll be reprising the role in the Tim Burton-directed series’ second season, coming later this year.
In Kill Jackie, Ings will portray Sam, described as Jackie’s “buttoned-up lawyer” as well as her “long-held crush”.
Sky is giving away a free Netflix subscription with its new Sky Stream TV bundles, including the £15 Essential TV plan.
This lets members watch live and on-demand TV content without a satellite dish or aerial and includes hit shows like You and Black Mirror.
The eight-part series is currently in production with no release date confirmed just yet. Kill Jackie is also currently just a working title.
Outside of his Netflix stint, Ings is familiar to UK audiences for his roles in popular comedies Lovesick and Sex Education as well as hit dramas The Crown and I Hate Suzie.
He’ll also be returning as Freddy in The Gentlemen’s second season, which was confirmed last August, though a release date has not been announced.
Ings is re-teaming with I Hate Suzie director Dawn Shadforth, who is helming the series with co-director Damon Thomas of Killing Eve fame.
Britannia creator Tom Butterworth is the showrunner, while the series was created and co-written by Conor Keane.
Wednesday and The Gentlemen are available to stream on Netflix.
