An official synopsis for “Scarpetta” via Prime Video:

“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.

Amazon MGM Studios, Blumhouse Television, Blossom Films, Comet Pictures, and P&S Projects are behind the show with an executive producer team that consists of Per Saari, Kidman, Lee Curtis, Sarnoff, Cornwell, Blum, Jeremy Gold, Chris Dickie, Chris McCumber, Green, and Amy Sayres.
