Kill Jackie is streaming on AMC+ in the United States. The series premiered on October 2, 2026, and AMC+ lists new episodes for Fridays. Availability was checked on October 11; access outside the U.S. should be verified in the viewer's local AMC+ catalog.
Catherine Zeta-Jones stars as Jackie Price, a former cocaine dealer who has lived quietly for twenty years before becoming the target of an elite group of assassins called the Seven Demons. Instead of disappearing, she turns the pursuit around and begins hunting them. The series frames her counterattack as a stylish revenge thriller driven by a buried criminal past and the danger it brings back into her present.
The Night Agent arrived on Netflix in March 2023 as one of the most watched debuts in the platform's history, following FBI agent Peter Sutherland, played by Gabriel Basso, whose overnight monitoring of a crisis hotline is interrupted by a call that draws him into a White House conspiracy with reach extending to the highest levels of the American government. Created by Shawn Ryan from Henry Luce's novel, the series combines the procedural tension of classic Washington thrillers with the propulsive pacing of contemporary action television — a combination that immediately found a vast global audience.
Luciane Buchanan plays Rose Larkin, a tech entrepreneur thrust into the conspiracy alongside Sutherland after her aunt and uncle are killed for what they know, and the show's romantic subplot between the two protagonists is handled with rare restraint — the chemistry building through credible mutual respect and shared danger rather than manufactured contrivance. The supporting cast includes Hong Chau, Eve Harlow, and Fola Evans-Akingbola in roles whose allegiances shift with satisfying unpredictability. Ryan's thriller instincts ensure the series earns its reveals rather than simply announcing them.
The Night Agent became Netflix's most-watched English-language debut of 2023, demonstrating that traditional thriller mechanics — competent protagonist, credible conspiracy, escalating stakes — could find enormous contemporary audiences when executed with genuine craft. The series was renewed for a second and third season, with season two expanding the stakes and introducing new characters to the show's Washington milieu. It remains one of the clearest success stories of the streaming era's relationship with plot-driven genre television. It streams on Netflix.
High Potential is the breakout procedural hit of the 2024 television season — a smart, funny, and surprisingly touching crime drama starring Kaitlin Olson as Morgan, a single mother and cleaning woman for the LAPD who happens to possess a prodigious analytical mind that repeatedly solves the cases that stump the actual detectives. Based on the French series HPI, the American adaptation leans into Olson's extraordinary comic gifts while finding genuine emotional depth in a character who has spent her whole life being underestimated by institutions that reward conventional achievement over raw intelligence.
Olson's Morgan is one of the most distinctive lead characters of recent network television — chaotic, brilliant, deeply loving as a mother, and endlessly frustrated by a world that cannot see past her circumstances. Her chemistry with Javon Walton as her teenage son and Daniel Sunjata as the detective reluctantly forced to partner with her gives the show an emotional texture that elevates it well above the standard procedural formula. Each episode's crime provides the narrative spine while the human relationships provide the show's genuine beating heart.
High Potential became one of ABC's most-watched new shows of the 2024-25 season, with Olson receiving Emmy nominations and widespread critical recognition confirming what comedy fans already knew — that she is one of the most gifted character performers of her generation. The show streams on Hulu and represents the best of what network television achieves when it casts its lead with complete conviction and gets out of the way.
Dexter: Original Sin is the origin story that fans of Showtime's landmark crime drama had long demanded — a prequel series set in 1990s Miami that traces how Dexter Morgan first became the vigilante serial killer audiences spent eight seasons following. Patrick Gibson steps into Michael C. Hall's iconic role with remarkable assurance, capturing Dexter's dry wit, clinical detachment, and barely suppressed darkness in a performance that honours the original while establishing its own distinct identity. The series returns to the early days of Dexter's career at the Miami Metro Police Department, before he perfected the code his foster father Harry instilled in him, and when the dark passenger was something he was still learning to control.
Christian Slater plays Harry Morgan with the kind of weary, knowing authority the role demands, filling in the crucial backstory of how a police detective shaped his adopted son into a killer who only kills killers. The Miami setting is recreated with authentic period detail, and the show takes considerable pleasure in populating young Dexter's world with the kinds of formative experiences that explain the fully formed character audiences already know. The supporting cast includes familiar faces from the original series alongside new characters who immediately feel essential to the mythology.
Dexter: Original Sin arrived on Paramount+ in December 2024 and exceeded expectations on every front — critics who feared a cynical cash-grab found instead a thoughtful, well-crafted expansion of a world they had never fully left behind. The show earned a second season renewal almost immediately after its premiere, demonstrating that the Dexter universe still has untapped storytelling potential. It streams exclusively on Paramount+.

Manhunt is Apple TV+'s gripping limited series dramatizing the seventeen-day hunt for John Wilkes Booth following the assassination of President Abraham Lincoln in April 1865. Based on James L. Swanson's bestselling historical account, the series centers on Edwin Stanton, Lincoln's formidable Secretary of War, played with fierce intelligence and moral urgency by Tobias Menzies. Stanton's determination to bring Booth to justice — and to protect the fragile future of the American republic in the immediate aftermath of the Civil War — drives a narrative that is equal parts thriller, historical drama, and character study of a man operating at the intersection of grief and duty.
The series devotes considerable attention to the political complexity surrounding Booth's act — his Confederate sympathies, his network of co-conspirators, and the forces within the federal government that either tolerated or actively enabled the conditions that made the assassination possible. Creator Monica Beletsky and director Carl Franklin bring the Reconstruction period to vivid, morally complicated life, presenting an America at a genuine crossroads whose outcome was never as inevitable as history makes it seem. Anthony Boyle plays the charismatic and chilling John Wilkes Booth with one of the most compelling portrayals of the infamous figure in any medium.
Manhunt premiered to widespread critical acclaim in March 2024, with particular praise directed at Menzies' performance and the series' willingness to frame the Lincoln assassination as the opening act of a sustained political conspiracy. The show earned Emmy nominations and renewed conversation about the Reconstruction era as one of American history's most consequential and underexplored chapters. It streams exclusively on Apple TV+.
Only Murders in the Building is a gleefully clever mystery comedy on Hulu set in the Arconia, a fictional luxury apartment building on New York City’s Upper West Side. Three unlikely neighbors — a faded true crime TV star, a failed Broadway director, and a guarded young artist — bond over their shared obsession with true crime podcasts and find themselves investigating a murder in their own building, which they document as a podcast of their own.
The chemistry between Steve Martin, Martin Short, and Selena Gomez is the show’s irresistible engine, combining the effortless comic timing of two legends with Gomez’s unexpectedly deft deadpan. The series layers genuine mystery plotting with warmly observed character work and an affectionate portrait of New York City’s apartment-building community, where strangers share walls for years without ever truly knowing each other.
Now in its fourth season, Only Murders in the Building has established itself as one of Hulu’s crown jewels, regularly attracting high-profile guest stars — including Cara Delevingne, Paul Rudd, Meryl Streep, and Eva Longoria — and maintaining the playful self-awareness that made it an instant hit. It is a rare series that has grown richer and more confident with each passing season.
Bodkin is a darkly comic mystery series on Netflix set in the fictional coastal village of Bodkin on the west coast of Ireland, where three strangers — an American true crime podcaster, his reluctant Irish researcher, and a mysterious woman with her own agenda — converge to investigate the decades-old disappearance of three people during a local festival. What begins as a quirky podcasting adventure quickly unravels into something far stranger and more dangerous.
Starring Will Forte, Siobhán Cullen, and Robyn Cara, the series expertly balances genuine menace with pitch-black comedy, finding absurd humor in the gap between true crime podcast conventions and the genuinely weird, often threatening reality of small-town Irish secrets. The performances are uniformly excellent, with Cullen in particular delivering a star-making turn as the sharp-tongued, deeply competent researcher stuck babysitting a hapless American.
Created by Jez Scharf, Bodkin earned strong reviews for its atmospheric sense of place, its unpredictable plotting, and its willingness to puncture the true crime genre’s self-seriousness while still delivering genuine thrills. It stands as one of Netflix’s most distinctive original series, with a voice entirely its own.
Elsbeth is a delightfully offbeat crime procedural on Paramount+ and CBS, spinning off from The Good Wife and The Good Fight to give fan-favorite attorney Elsbeth Tascioni her own starring vehicle. Carrie Preston reprises the role with infectious energy, playing a seemingly scatterbrained Chicago attorney relocated to New York City to provide oversight of the NYPD — while secretly being one of the sharpest minds in the room.
The show operates in the tradition of Columbo, presenting each episode’s crime and killer upfront, then watching Elsbeth methodically unravel the truth through a combination of genuine brilliance and disarming eccentricity. Her suspects perpetually underestimate her, making each reveal all the more satisfying as her warm, wide-eyed persona gives way to razor-sharp deduction.
Elsbeth has attracted a parade of acclaimed guest stars — including Cynthia Nixon, Wendell Pierce, and Jesse Tyler Ferguson — each playing the killer in a self-contained story. The series has become one of CBS’s most beloved procedurals, earning Carrie Preston a well-deserved Emmy nomination and a passionate fan following hungry for each new mystery.
