Academy Award-winning actress Nicole Kidman is in search of a serial killer in the thriller series Scarpetta. The makers have shared the trailer of the series.
The series is the adaptation of Patricia Cornwell's bestselling book series of the same name. The show will premiere on March 11. Per the logline: "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," as quoted by Variety. From writer and showrunner Liz Sarnoff, 'Scarpetta' unfolds across two timelines, tracing Scarpetta's early years in the late 1990s to the present day, when she returns to her hometown to investigate a grisly murder. The trailer also shows the actress navigating complicated relationships, confronting professional grudges and facing secrets that threaten to undo everything. Prime Video shared the trailer on its Instagram handle today. https://www.instagram.com/p/DUnzHVBEa2O/ Jamie Lee Curtis stars opposite Kidman as Scarpetta's sister, Dorothy Farinelli.
