After solving cases in 29 books spanning more than three decades, Dr. Kay Scarpetta, the heroine of Patricia Cornwell’s series of page-turning crime novels, finally received her own thriller series adaptation.
In the Prime Video show, Scarpetta, Nicole Kidman stars as Kay, the chief medical examiner for the Commonwealth of Virginia, who uses forensic techniques and her brilliant mind to track down killers and get justice for victims. Season 1 of the murder-mystery unfolds across two timelines, taking inspiration from two of Cornwell’s books: 1990’s Postmortem, and 2021’s Autopsy.
