Every Episode of Nicole Kidman and Jamie Lee Curtis’ New 8-Part Crime Thriller Just Premiered on Prime Video

by

Nicole Kidman and Jamie Lee Curtis star in a new crime thriller now available on Prime Video! The series, with all eight episodes released at once, is just the latest addition to Prime Video’s growing library of content this month. Following the arrival of films like Airport! and Super 8, and the debut of Young Sherlock earlier in March, this new thriller is one of Prime Video’s biggest releases of the year.

I was so excited when I heard Prime Video was finally adapting Patricia Cornwell’s Scarpetta books, and it’s now available to stream! They released all eight episodes on March 11th. Naomi Watts stars as Dr. Kay Scarpetta, a forensic pathologist, and Chloe Curtis plays her sister Dorothy. The show jumps between two timelines – we see Kay starting out in the 90s and then returning to her hometown in the present day. She’s investigating some really disturbing murders that seem to echo a cold case from almost 30 years ago, which really forces her to deal with her past. It’s a pretty gripping story!

Prime Video’s Scarpetta Is a Binge-Worthy Adaptation of Patricia Cornwell’s Best-Selling Novels

You won’t want to miss Scarpetta – add it to your Prime Video watchlist now! Critics are already saying this series is incredibly gripping, with a complex mystery that unfolds across two timelines. Expect a fast-paced, unpredictable story full of twists and turns that will keep you completely hooked from beginning to end. It’s a real edge-of-your-seat thriller that delivers on its promise.

While it’s too soon to know if audiences will agree, the first season of Scarpetta is already generating a lot of buzz. Critics love it, giving it an 80% “Certified Fresh” rating on Rotten Tomatoes. Beyond the impressive performances from Nicole Kidman and Jamie Lee Curtis, who are both captivating to watch, the show is a well-paced and true-to-the-source adaptation of Patricia Cornwell’s books, successfully capturing the characters and overall mood. Sarah Webb of ScreenHub called it “the television equivalent of a page-turner,” and the show is being praised for its suspenseful atmosphere, compelling characters – especially the complex dynamic between Dr. Kay Scarpetta and Dorothy – and its clever, non-linear storytelling.

Will There Be a Scarpetta Season 2?

Good news for viewers enjoying the first season of Scarpetta: the show has been renewed for a second season! It was originally ordered for two seasons, and filming for the second season is already happening. We don’t have a release date yet, but with 29 books in the original series by Patricia Cornwell, the Prime Video show has the potential to continue for many seasons to come.
