DESCRIPTION:
(from Amazon's press release, November 2025) Today, Prime Video released first-look images from Scarpetta, the new forensic crime thriller based on Patricia Cornwell's bestselling Kay Scarpetta book series, developed and written for television by Liz Sarnoff. With over 120 million copies sold worldwide since the character's debut in 1990, this adaptation marks the culmination of decades of anticipation as the beloved forensic pathologist finally comes to the screen. Scarpetta will premiere on March 11, 2026, exclusively on Prime Video in more than 240 countries and territories worldwide. The series is produced by Amazon MGM Studios and Blumhouse Television in association with Blossom Films, Comet Pictures, and P&S Projects. Scarpetta 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. |
