Nicole Kidman is Dr. Kay Scarpetta in trailer for Prime Video series Scarpetta

February 11, 2026 by Amie Cranswick

Prime Video has debuted the first trailer for Scarpetta, the upcoming crime thriller based on author Patricia Cornwell’s bestselling book series which stars Nicola Kidman in the title role as the brilliant forensic pathologist Dr. Kay Scarpetta.

Joining Kidman in the cast of the series are Jamie Lee Curtis, Bobby Cannavale, Simon Baker, Ariana DeBose, Rosy McEwen, Amanda Righetti, Jake Cannavale, and Hunter Parrish. Check out the trailer below, along with a poster and batch of images…

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.

Scarpetta premieres on March 11th.
