Nicole Kidman Hunts a Serial Killer in First ‘Scarpetta’ Trailer
The case that made her could be the case that breaks her.
Today, we have the official trailer for Amazon’s Scarpetta, which brings Patricia Cornwell’s iconic literary character to life in a gripping series starring Nicole Kidman as “Dr. Kay Scarpetta.”
With skilled hands and an unnerving eye, this unrelenting medical examiner is determined to serve as the voice of the victims, unmask a serial killer, and prove that her career-making case from 28 years prior isn’t also her undoing.
Set against the backdrop of modern forensic investigation, the series delves beyond the crime scene to explore the psychological complexities of both perpetrators and investigators, creating a multi-layered thriller that examines the toll of pursuing justice at all costs.
Based on the best-selling novels by Patricia Cornwell, Scarpetta premieres March 11 on Prime Video.
From Emmy-nominated writer, executive producer, and showrunner Liz Sarnoff (Barry, Lost) comes “Scarpetta,” a chilling crime thriller that unfolds across two timelines.
This dual narrative explores “Kay Scarpetta’s” (Nicole Kidman) journey from her beginnings as a Chief Medical Examiner in the late ’90s to her present-day return to her hometown, where she resumes her former position while investigating a grisly murder. As Scarpetta pursues justice, she must navigate complicated relationships, including the fraught dynamic with her sister “Dorothy Farinelli” (Jamie Lee Curtis), confront long-held professional and personal grudges, and face secrets that threaten to unravel everything she’s built.
Academy Award winner Nicole Kidman (Expats) stars as Medical Examiner “Kay Scarpetta,” Academy Award winner Jamie Lee Curtis (The Bear) stars as her sister “Dorothy Farinelli,” Emmy winner Bobby Cannavale stars as Detective “Pete Marino,” with Emmy nominee Simon Baker (The Mentalist) as FBI profiler “Benton Wesley” and Academy Award winner Ariana DeBose (West Side Story) as Kay’s tech-savvy niece “Lucy Farinelli Watson.”
The series’ dual timeline is completed by Rosy McEwen (Blue Jean), Amanda Righetti (The Mentalist), Jake Cannavale (The Offer), and Hunter Parrish (Weeds), who portray the past versions of Kidman, Curtis, Cannavale, and Baker’s characters, respectively.
