Additional details on AMC Global Media's New York Comic Con Panels are below:
Series star, Oscar, BAFTA, and Tony Award-winning actress Catherine Zeta-Jones (Chicago, Wednesday) will join Showrunner, Writer and Executive Producer Tom Butterworth and Executive Producer Peter Lawson for a special conversation about the new AMC+ revenge thriller, featuring exclusive sneak peeks at upcoming episodes. Moderated by Collider's Perri Nemiroff.
Premiering Friday, October 2 on AMC+, Kill Jackie follows Jackie Price (Zeta-Jones), who has been living a luxurious existence for the last twenty years - travelling the world, selling fine art 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 that 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 lead her closer to home, with surprising consequences.

Based on the play by Sandler, YAGA reimagines the Slavic folk tale of the Baba Yaga witch, as a contemporary mystery thriller. It follows Rapp (Reid), a private investigator who arrives in a small coastal town to investigate the disappearance of a young heir to a powerful fishery, Henry Park (Hudson Williams, Heated Rivalry). Rapp finds himself at odds with an apprehensive local detective, Carson (Backo); a charismatic university professor, Katherine (Moss) and a labyrinth of enigmatic suspects, secret lives and ancient magic. Premiering Friday, October 23 on AMC+, YAGA is an original series from Canadian streamer Crave, produced by Blink49 Studios and Front Street Pictures in association with Bell Media. YAGA is distributed internationally by Sphere Abacus, a Bell Media company.
