Amazon Greenlights Kay Scarpetta Series Starring Nicole Kidman & Jamie Lee Curtis, Adds Five Cast Members
Amazon has officially ordered a series adaptation of Patricia Cornwell's Kay Scarpetta novels with Nicole Kidman and Jamie Lee Curtis
“Patricia Cornwell’s Kay Scarpetta has enraptured fans for decades and I am honored that Prime Video is entrusted to bring the series to screen for our global customers,” said Vernon Sanders, head of television for Amazon MGM Studios. The official logline for the mystery-thriller series states that it “follows Kay Scarpetta (Kidman), the 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.” ”I’ve been pursuing ‘Scarpetta’ for nearly twenty years going back to when it was intended to be a feature, so to unite with the formidable Jamie Lee Curtis, Prime Video, Jason Blum, and David Gordon Green on the Liz Sarnoff series version of Patricia Cornwell’s epic and thrilling books feels like it was meant to be,” Kidman said.
