Prime Video’s Nicole Kidman and Jamie Lee Curtis-starring Scarpetta has the unbeatable combination of bestselling author Patricia Cornwell‘s novels and Kidman’s and Curtis’s expertise on both sides of the camera – and that’s why it’s been on our radar since it was first announced. The series is set to follow Kay Scarpetta (Kidman), Chief Medical Examiner, as she returns to Virginia and resumes her former position with complex relationships, both personal and professional – including her sister Dorothy (Curtis), with plenty of grudges and secrets to uncover. Earlier today, Curtis dropped the big update the she’s done filming the first season and that she couldn’t be a “prouder producer/actor.”
