‘Scarpetta’ Trailer – Nicole Kidman & Jamie Lee Curtis Hunt a Killer in Prime Series
Nicole Kidman and Jamie Lee Curtis star as sisters on the hunt for a serial killer in “Scarpetta,” based on Patricia Cornwell‘s bestselling novels.
The crime thriller series premieres March 11 on Prime Video in more than 240 countries and territories worldwide. Watch the trailer below.
Developed and written by Emmy nominee Liz Sarnoff (“Barry,” “Lost”), the show features five episodes directed by David Gordon Green (Halloween trilogy).
The dual narrative explores Kay Scarpetta’s (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 (Curtis), confront long-held professional and personal grudges, and face secrets that threaten to unravel everything she’s built.
The cast also includes Bobby Cannavale (Ant-Man) as Detective Pete Marino, Simon Baker (“The Mentalist”) as FBI profiler Benton Wesley, and Ariana DeBose (West Side Story) as Kay’s tech-savvy niece, Lucy Farinelli Watson.
The dual timeline is completed by Rosy McEwen (“The Alienist”), Amanda Righetti (Friday the 13th 2009), Jake Cannavale (“The Offer”), and Hunter Parrish (“Weeds”) as the past versions of Kidman, Curtis, Cannavale, and Baker’s characters, respectively.
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.
“Scarpetta” is produced by Amazon MGM Studios and Blumhouse Television in association with Blossom Films, Comet Pictures, and P&S Projects.
Executive producers include Kidman and Per Saari via Blossom Films; Curtis via Comet Pictures; Liz Sarnoff via Sarnoff TV; Cornwell via P & S Projects, Green; Amy Sayres; and Jason Blum, Jeremy Gold, Chris Dickie, and Chris McCumber via Blumhouse Television.
Cornwell published the first Kay Scarpetta novel, Postmortem, in 1990. She’s since written 29 more books about the character, with sales totaling over 120 million copies.
The Ghostbusters franchise returns to the world of animation with brand new Netflix series “Ghostbusters: Night Shift,” and the official logo has been revealed this weekend.
Expect “Ghostbusters: Night Shift” to clock in on Netflix in 2027!
Netflix previews, “Ghostbusters: Night Shift, a series from Netflix and Sony Pictures Animation based on the beloved Ghostbusters franchise, will debut exclusively on Netflix in 2027.
“The new series marks the next chapter in the franchise’s ghoul-catching legacy, bringing supernatural comedy and paranormal action back to animation.”
The upcoming animated series from Netflix will be executive produced by Ben Hibon, Elliott Kalan, Jason Reitman, Gil Kenan, Amie Karp, and Dan Aykroyd.
Reitman, son of Ivan Reitman, director of the original Ghostbusters features, and Kenan co-wrote the franchise’s most recent installments, Ghostbusters: Afterlife and Frozen Empire.
“This isn’t the first time the Ghostbusters universe has gone animated,” Netflix reminds in their press release today. “The 1980s and ’90s saw The Real Ghostbusters and Extreme Ghostbusters take over the small screen. For now, you can rest assured: If there’s something strange in your neighborhood, a Ghostbuster will be on the job — even if it’s after hours.”
