A new crime thriller series will feature an all-star cast including Nicole Kidman, Jamie Lee Curtis and Bobby Cannavale.<\/p>\n

Prime Video has unveiled the official trailer for Scarpetta, which is based on American crime writer Patricia Cornwell\u2019s bestselling Kay Scarpetta novels.<\/p>\n

The books have sold more than 120 million copies worldwide since the character\u2019s debut in 1990.<\/p>\n

The series will premiere on March 11, and stars Kidman as medical examiner Kay Scarpetta, while Curtis plays her sister,\u00a0Dorothy Farinelli.<\/p>\n

\"Dick<\/a>\"Once<\/a><\/p>\n

Cannavale stars as Detective Pete Marino, while Simon Baker is FBI profiler Benton Wesley and Ariana DeBose is Scarpetta\u2019s tech-savvy niece Lucy Farinelli Watson.<\/p>\n

The series features a dual narrative, which explores Scarpetta\u2019s journey from her beginnings as a chief medical examiner in the late 1990s to her present-day return to her hometown, where she resumes her former position while investigating a grisly murder.<\/p>\n

\u201cWith 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\u2019t also her undoing,\u201d producers said.<\/p>\n

Rosy McEwen, Amanda Righetti, Jake Cannavale (Bobby Cannavale\u2019s son) and Hunter Parrish, portray the past versions of Kidman, Curtis, Cannavale and Baker\u2019s characters respectively.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"A new crime thriller series will feature an all-star cast including Nicole Kidman, Jamie Lee Curtis and Bobby…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":332616,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":"","_share_on_mastodon":"0"},"categories":[263],"tags":[18,117,19,17,46891,125430,327,10420,158979,3973,110881,19498,1294],"class_list":["post-332615","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-movies","tag-eire","tag-entertainment","tag-ie","tag-ireland","tag-jamie-lee-curtis","tag-kay-scarpetta","tag-movies","tag-nicole-kidman","tag-patricia-cornwell","tag-prime-video","tag-scarpetta","tag-showbiz","tag-uk"],"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/pubeurope.com\/@ie\/116054804577741071","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/332615","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=332615"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/332615\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/332616"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=332615"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=332615"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=332615"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
