It’s based on a best-selling series, but Nicole Kidman seems almost bored in this TV adaptation

  • On Wednesday, March 11, 2026, Amazon Prime Video released the thriller series 'Scarpetta,' starring Nicole Kidman as Dr. Kay Scarpetta, a medical examiner investigating a career-defining murder case.
  • This adaptation of Cornwell's 29-book series splits episodes between the late '90s and present day, following Scarpetta's journey as a chief medical examiner investigating a grisly murder linked to her past.
  • Executive produced by Kidman and Jamie Lee Curtis, the show features Curtis as Scarpetta's sister, Dorothy Farinelli, with Liz Sarnoff developing the series for television.
  • Production for the next season has already begun, as Amazon Prime Video ordered two installments of the thriller following the Season 1 debut.
  • Season 2's narrative will be half in the past and half in the present, with the past timeline set slightly later than Season 1, while the present picks up where the finale left off.
