The official logline for Netflix’s Kate reads as follows:
After she’s irreversibly poisoned, a ruthless criminal operative has but 24 hours to exact revenge on her enemies and within the process forms an unexpected bond with the daughter of 1 of her past victims.
Star Mary Elizabeth Winstead elaborates in her Entertainment Weekly interview:
“Kate may be a ruthless assassin who is on employment in Tokyo, and she or he gets poisoned. She finds out she has 24 hours to measure before the poison kills her, so she sets out on a mission to seek out out who poisoned her and kill them before she dies. Along the way, she forges this bond with this teenage girl named Ani, and that they find yourself taking over this mission together. It’s a heartfelt, brutal, assassin story!”
Netflix’s Kate may be a star vehicle for Mary Elizabeth Winstead, who is understood for her roles in Scott Pilgrim vs. The World, Fargo, 10 Cloverfield Lane, and more. Winstead are going to be playing the titular Kate.

Director Cedric Nicolas-Troyan commented on working with Harrelson:
“Woody is Woody. He’s an adventure in itself, for sure. But he’s very committed and he’s super easy to figure with. He gives that swagger thereto character. He wasn’t on the set for very long but we made it count.”
The rest of the cast included Michiel Huisman (Game of Thrones), Tadanobu Asano (Mortal Kombat), Jun Kunimura (Kill Bill), Miyavi Lee Ishihara (Maleficent) and newcomer Miku Martineau (Funny the Shark).
What is the assembly status of Kate?
Filming for Netflix’s Kate is completed and therefore the movie is now in post-production. Many action scenes are shot, including one that consistent with director Cedric Nicolas-Troyan, was the toughest action set-piece to film. it had been a close-quarters face-off between Winstead’s hitwoman and a similarly dangerous character played by the japanese actor and musician Miyavi.
“The hardest one to shoot was the one with Mary and Miyavi inside the apartment. We couldn’t shoot that with stunt doubles, in order that they had to try to to it themselves. You had two actors that do very, very close-contact stunt work. We thought something bad could happen there. This one was definitely making me nervous.”
