'Ripley' Trailer: Watch Andrew Scott Transform Himself as the Iconic Literary Conman

The upcoming limited series is based on the same book that inspired the 1999 film 'The Talented Mr. Ripley.'

In the eight-episode series, set in the 1960s, Scott plays conman Tom Ripley, who is dispatched to Italy by a wealthy man in order to convince his wayward son to return home. Rather than focusing on bringing Dickie back home, however, Ripley becomes enamored by his lavish life abroad and deeply ingratiates himself into his wealthy world. Marge is Tom's biggest doubter, who becomes increasingly more skeptical of the new character in Dickie's life as it devolves into fraud and murder.
